Michole at Micholiano Photography specializes in child-led, easygoing, play-based style and candid photo experiences. Drawing on his experience as a K-5 PE teacher for SFUSD, he knows when to provide structure and when to encourage all the silliness. After all, goofy faces lead to the best smiles and giggles.
Michole brings joy to your family’s photo shoot and helps individual characters shine. That favorite superhero cape (or skeleton hand, race car, or rainboot!) your child won’t put down is part of a delightful phase that should be lovingly documented.

What Parents Say About Micholiano Photography
“I can’t recommend Micholiano more highly! Michole was extremely prompt, clear, helpful, and enthusiastic in all our communications—before, during, and after our shoot—and helped us prepare with ease and expertise, even with a 2-year-old and 10-month-old who weren’t thrilled. I wasn’t sure we had any smiling shots, but when we received our top 30 just days later, we loved almost every one, and the quality of the prints and packaging is beautiful.” ~ Shannon Luff
“Michole’s photography skills are amazing! We have a 3-year-old and a 1-year-old who aren’t always cooperative, but Michole was still able to follow their lead and capture adorable moments with both of them smiling! Our photos turned out so beautifully, we can’t wait to share it with our friends and family” ~ Winnie Yan
“Smooth from beginning to end—Mike was responsive, attentive, informative, and super easy to work with. Prior to our session, he made sure to communicate any updates and possible contingency plans in the event the weather didn’t work to our favor. During our session, he made us feel comfortable, worked well with our two young toddlers, and showed great attention to detail (like keys hanging out of a pocket!). And he was on the ball with his shots—great experience, great photographer, timeless photos!” ~ Michelle & Josh Dacoco
