Somewhat like the Truman show, starring Jim Carrey, but in this case, I know I’m in this show. It’s you all who have no idea the part your playing in it. It’s a wonderful show, rather an incredible life. It’s a go go go lifestyle, but I wouldn’t have it any other way. For me, I hope to make a real impact on those who come into my life. I have so many stories, so many laughs…. One motto I live by is a saying.. “Everywhere You Go, Always Bring the Weather. My interpretation is that everyone loves the sunny day… and we all dislike the rain and the clouds. So do your part to always bring that sunshine, and let it shine on everyone you meet.

So that’s what I’m about.. please check out the many facets of my life below:[/vc_column_text][vc_empty_space height=”80px”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row row_type=”full_width” type=”container” bg_select=”bg_color_section” border_color=”#ebebeb”][vc_column][wbc_color_box m_top=”-125″ p_top=”20px”][vc_row_inner el_id=”about” css=”.vc_custom_1452457328787{margin-bottom: 0px !important;}” anchor=”about”][vc_column_inner width=”1/3″][vc_single_image image=”2133″ img_size=”full” alignment=”center” onclick=”link_image”][wbc_heading tag=”h2″ heading_style=”heading-1″ title=”Mike Elford |PHOTOGRAPHER|” m_top=”20″ font_size=”25″][vc_column_text]It’s amazing to me when I look back, reminiscing about my photography story. How it started, where it’s taken me, and how this photography world has impacted my life. It’s just amazing. My journey as a photographer started 20 years ago with the arrival of my firstborn Samantha. I vowed to document everything in her life. Every breath. I was so proud…. I still am of course. I always had my camera with me.

I’m always on the go… and I wouldn’t have it any other way. My most valuable asset is time. And when I’m not working the day job or photographing someone… I can be found hanging with my wife Stacie and our three kids – Samantha (20) Steven (16) and Addison (14). I’m so fortunate to have a life where each of my kids is unique and inspires me in different ways.

This gives me two weeks to complete any photography projects or to relax and recoup before a busy Santa Season begins. That’s right I am Santa Claus. You can find me at 46+ events beginning in mid-October, and continuing right up until Christmas Eve!
