Testimonials

"Wonderful working with Michael! He made our mom and family feel completely at ease. And, the photos were incredible! Highly recommend Michael!"
— Stacy Silber
"Michael is so great! My fiancé and I had never done a photoshoot. Michael made us feel comfortable and told us how to pose for the best pics. The pictures turned out beautiful. We highly recommend booking with Michael for your next shoot."
— Lucy Sullivan
“My parents hosted a wedding reception for my husband and I at the beginning of September and were lucky enough to have Michael of Family Candids shoot our party. It rained on our backyard outdoor celebration most of the day and even poured at times, but Michael was amazing. He powered through the wet and mud and in the end after all was done, we received the most beautiful photos of one of the best days of our lives - he captured my family and guests so well. I 1000% recommend Family Candids. Michael is so warm, easygoing, very talented and clearly loves what he does.“
