The first home he shot was our Los Angeles Breezehouse, and one of the photos from that shoot is now the hero image on our website. It's absolutely sublime and the results are as much of a compliment to Mike's skills as a photographer as it is to the inherent beauty of our Blu homes. In fact, another photographer took photos of the same home and if I didn't know better, I would have thought they were two different homes. The second home he shot was in Healdsburg, CA. The interior photos of that home are my favorite and that's not just my opinion -- they are the most shared photos on our Houzz. Aside from his top notch photography skills and artistry, Mike is also easy to work with -- he's responsive, energetic, and can work within a budget. I give Mike my highest recommendation. **★★★★★ — PurePhoto.com, Sept. 2014** > I have had the pleasure of working with Mike Kelley on several interior and exterior architectural photo shoots. Mike has the unique ability to work alongside designers and architects to help bring their vision to life in a photograph. Always on time, always ready to work, he delivers the best possible photos of your space in a quick and efficient manner. In addition to being an extreme talent, Mike is fun to work with and easy to communicate with. I highly recommend using him for projects ranging in size from a small residential remodel to a large scale commercial property. **★★★★★ — User, Aug. 2014** > All you have to do is look at Mike Kelly's images to see what a talented photographer he is. He is a true professional and very easy to work with. His attention to detail is impeccable and his use of lighting to bring out the essence in a space is like no other.

Mike Kelly is by far one of the best in the industry and we will be using Mike for all our future photo shoots. **★★★★★ — Susan Jay Design, March 2014** > We had such a great experience working with Mike on our Tigertail Ridge project. He has great vision and works at a nice pace to insure that we make the most of our day. We love his personality as he is very down to earth.

He brought as much life to the spaces I designed as I thought could be appreciated only in person. He was prompt, efficient, creative, helpful, extremely professional, spontaneous and very personable. He was also respectful, not only of my work, but of our time together to achieve a common goal. I welcome any further inquiries. **★★★★★ — Future Home Builders, Inc., Jan. 2013** > I found Mike while Googling photographers - I can't remember specifically how, but I'm glad I did. He is very friendly and understands exactly what I want. I totally trust him and let him do his creative thing. I actually told him that I don't want to refer him to friends in my industry because I want to keep him to myself! I think we are going to have a great and long relationship working together. **★★★★★ — Natalie Younger Interior Design, Allied ASID, Sept. 2012** > I had the opportunity of working with Mike for a commerical project my firm recently completed and it was THE best decision. Mike possess a very rare and talented eye which, paired with akin perfectionism, produced some of the best photos I've seen. His professionalism was also an added bonus: my finished photos were promptly delivered which made it easy to publish my work quickly and pain-free. I will definitely work with Mike again and recommend him to anyone else looking for an interior/architectural photographer. **★★★★★ — Shannon Ggem Design, June 2012** > I was lucky enough to have some of my recent project shot by Michael recently and can't BELIEVE his incredible eye, attention to detail and passion for what he does.
