Company Profile
Michael Lentz Photography is a small, service-oriented, home studio.
Created over ten years ago as an alternative to day care for our first
child, we provide imaging solutions for both personal and commercial
clients. While we understand staying ahead of the technological curve
with state-of-the-art gear is important, we realize our cameras and
computers won't get us very far without our most important tools - inner creativity
and talent. We are
highly capable of providing studio and location photography.
A family affair, 13-year old Cara
and
9-year old Sam often assist dad and are both becoming accomplished
photographers although neither show a career interest. Cara is
interested in forensic anthropology or Egyptology while Sam wants to be
a professional bowler. All photographs are created by Mike.
About The Photographer
An award-winning photographer, Mike has been hooked on photography since his grandpa gave him his first camera. A photo-nerd in high school, he
went on to graduate from Ball State University with a photojournalism
degree. Although trained as a photojournalist, he was led to portraiture
and received training under fire by working for a national studio
photographing babies in department stores. After freelancing and photo
lab work, big business came knocking and he accepted a liaison position
with an Indiana Fortune 500 company where he worked extensively with
Kodak concerning film quality issues. After more freelance work and a
stint with a national studio taking portraits in central Indiana
schools, Michael Lentz Photography was created partly as an avenue to
get there new baby out of daycare. Mike considers
himself fortunate that his passion and work are one and revolves around
his family.
