Photographer Reviews: What people are saying about Mike Higdon’s work

“Mike’s expertise and collaborative approach made my portrait photography experience truly special. Even before the shoot, he helped me narrow down my options for settings and lighting. On the day of the shoot, I was nervous, but he put me at ease. He sent my photos much faster than anticipated and made sure I had them formatted exactly as needed. No detail was left unaddressed, and I was very pleased with the entire process. Thank you, Mike!”

Laura Vinson, REALTOR at Sierra Nevada Properties

“When I decided to get my professional headshots taken, I immediately contacted Mike Higdon Photography. His expertise and relaxed approach to photography made me feel comfortable throughout the process. The final results are outstanding, and I would never consider going anywhere else for my photography needs. I’m excited to have Mike capture my family photos in the future. I highly recommend his services.”

Design Services

I learned graphic design in the newspaper and magazine industry, producing high-quality print publications multiple times a day. I bring that skill and experience to annual reports and corporate graphic design and publication work. Because of my writing and photography background, I can also create writing and photography content for your publication for a full-service production. Since the scope of publication design varies greatly, it’s generally easier to find out what specific services you need in order to produce your print product.
