Meet Mike Stephens of Mike Camera Action Photography

Today we’d like to introduce you to Mike Stephens.

Mike, let’s start with your story. We’d love to hear how you got started and how the journey has been so far.
With a knack for artist management and development in music, I took on the opportunity to shoot photos for an artist I was managing at the time. Having no training or experience in the field of photography simply just an idea of what I wanted the pictures to look like, I had my first photo shoot.

Needless to say, the pictures came out amateur but yet I still achieved the look I wanted. I enjoyed the experience of creating an idea and capturing a moment through photos. From there I decided to take on this new endeavor of photography. Self-taught, I had become a highly professional and talented photographer with expertise in creating exciting fun experiences with photo shoots and capturing priceless moments of life.

Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
Hahaha, I wouldn’t say it has been smooth. It has definitely been an experience working with a variety of clients who all have interesting personalities. This is one of the things that make this field of work so exciting but yet still challenging. Being able to adapt to anyone and bring the most pleasant and joyful energy out of them to capture a memorable moment with a photo.

Mike Camera Action Photography – what should we know? What do you guys do best? What sets you apart from the competition?
I specialize in portrait images of all kinds. I shoot weddings, engagement photos, maternity photos, headshots, family photos and events. I am known for a creative and artistic eye when I shoot. Your very pleasant and professional session with my team and I will result in high quality vibrant images and memories for lifetime after lifetime!

What sets me apart from others is my involvement. This is by far more than a business, it’s an EXPERIENCE!!

What is “success” or “successful” for you?
Success to me is when one finds the one place in life that gives them complete happiness in what they do and are financially satisfied.
