Some kind words from people who love us a lot.


Joy D., via email

“I got the pictures.  They are incredible.  I love them.  And I do not just think it is because I am (his) mom.  Over the years, I have looked at different photographer’s work, and as you know, the focus is almost uniformly on girls.  I found that very few photographers know how to, or take the time to, capture young men. You, however, are in that small group that can.  Thank you so much for capturing him over the years.”

“I really like how natural these pictures are, wrinkles and all. These images do just what I hoped for -- they portray me as a more polished, but definitely older (yet still vibrant) version of myself.”

"I feel you have found your “calling”, your knowledge of the arts and behind a camera, allow you to share an experience that brings comfort to someone who doesn’t typically enjoy her photo being taken.”

"I had the pleasure of working with Michael Verity Photography for an agency headshot session, and I am thrilled with my results.  I was scheduled for a thirty minute session, with two looks/backgrounds, and two final images with standard retouching included. Not only did my agency help me select two headshots from the session, we even decided to get a third image retouched!


"Michael was patient and very helpful in guiding me through our session, teaching me some tricks and angles to help make my shots stand out.  His wife was also extremely helpful with selecting wardrobe and providing feedback on my hair and makeup. They worked very well collaboratively to make sure I would nail the photo shoot.  Being that this was only a thirty minute session, I was worried I'd feel a bit rushed, but Michael took his time with me, and even went over our allotted time to ensure we got awesome shots.  The price was also very reasonable, and great for anyone looking for a quick and affordable update. I recommend Michael Verity Photography, and am excited to book some work with my three new headshots!"

Applause from the Industry

“We had a wonderful time working with you. It was the best photography experience yet!”

Lila Grant, Mom of 2-year old model, Luvli

“One of the reasons I admire your work so much is because you don’t over-edit the photos. I’m a photographer myself and I’m very picky. I did not want to be over-edited and look all cartoony. You did an amazing job!”
