About Mike Lloyd Studios
For the modern, non-traditional crowd. We believe in celebrating your uniqueness, ensuring that your individuality shines in every frame. Instead of stiff poses and artificial backdrops, we emphasize candid, authentic moments that tell your story with the depth and vibrancy it deserves.
Our mission is to reveal the true you through the lens, allowing your personality, quirks, and passions to take center stage. We collaborate closely with each client to understand their narrative, aiming to create images that encapsulate their journey, their dreams, and their extraordinary essence.

Elegant and Dramatic
This is Mike’s signature look. It’s inspired by classical paintings, as if you’re lit by moonlight. It’s romantic and mysterious. Mike is known in the photography world for this extremely difficult lighting style and won’t find anyone else creating images like this.
Vivid and Cinematic
This is our go-to look for families and high school seniors. We bring the elements of the scenery into play to help tell your story. We know the best places around to match your personal style.
Clean and Clear
