Becoming a professional photographer wasn’t easy, it was a wild adventure filled with rejection, nonstop learning, and the constant hustle of building a business from scratch. From handing out business cards to strangers in Colorado to scouting photo locations across Europe and Virginia, I faced challenge after challenge. But through it all, I discovered the true heart of photography: helping people see their own beauty and capturing it in a way they’ll never forget. This is MikeCon Photography, driven by passion, powered by problem-solving, and built on grit.
