I found Mike by accident and thought I'd try him out. I sent him a faded-but-beloved photo of my late sister and one from my childhood. Both were exposed to a lot to daylight and very faded. Mike did an incredible job restoring the color (not colorizing!) and bringing back details that faded over time. Then he picked up the postage for the postal return of my originals and various versions of the redone photos. After that, he emailed me all of the work that he did on the photos for me to keep. Mike created several versions and gave them all to me. I highly recommend Mike Vanemom Photography for your photo restoration! Oh, here's my late sister in all her bouffanted-hair prom glory. :)
Working with Mike was easy, smooth, hassle free and enjoyable. Did a great job with my photos and I would use him again.
I found Mike online. He responded right way and was extremely professional from the moment we spoke. His quality of work was outstanding, and he delivered a final product before the deadline. I will definitely be using him again, and I highly recommend his services. thank you, Karen Williams Gooden, Esquire
Mike is very personable and professional. His reviews are astounding. If i don’t use him for my current project id love to use him for my future photography project needs.
Mike was great to work with from start to finish. He took the time to understand who I am, what I do, and what I was looking for, and he made the entire photography session comfortable, professional, and easy. If you’re considering working with Mike, give him a call. You’ll quickly see that he cares about his work and the people he works with.
I had a great experience working with Mike V. From the moment we met, he was kind, encouraging, and made me feel comfortable in front of the camera. He took plenty of photos and took the time to make sure we got a variety of shots. One of the things I appreciated most was how personable he was. We spent time talking and getting to know each other, which made the entire experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. I left the session feeling genuinely encouraged after our conversation. What really stood out to me was how invested he was in helping me get the best possible photos. It was clear that he genuinely cared about the purpose of the session and wanted me to have pictures that I could confidently use. He wasn't just taking photos—he was trying to bring out the best of me so that it would come through on camera. Since I had never done a professional photo shoot before, he coached me through the entire process, offering guidance on posing, expression, and confidence. His encouragement and attention to detail made a huge difference and helped me feel much more at ease and free to be myself. I was very happy with the images he showed me during the session. Based on what I've already seen, I'm excited to receive the finished photos. Overall, Mike V was professional, personable, and a pleasure to work with. I would definitely recommend him to anyone looking for a photographer who not only takes great pictures but also genuinely cares about helping people look their very best for whatever the occasion.
Working with Mike was a great experience. He clearly put a lot of care into every image — resizing, sharpening, color correction, and multiple background options — and the final results turned out beautifully. He was also upfront and fair about pricing, honoring his original quote despite spending extra time on the project. Would definitely work with him again.
Thank you Mike, you’re the best! I appreciate the work you did with bringing my photos to life, they are amazing. The lighting, the smoothness, everything, I just love them. You made me happy for choosing you to be a part of my 50th birthday portraits.
Great job! I needed my face Photoshop from one picture to another because I was mid sentence when the girl snapped the picture! Thanks for saving this Santa pic!
I hired Mike for a last-minute engagement photo shoot, and I couldn’t be happier with my decision! Due to family scheduling conflicts, we could only arrange the session on Thanksgiving Day. Mike graciously sacrificed his holiday to accommodate us, and I am truly grateful for his dedication. He was incredibly thorough and professional throughout the entire shoot. Mike took his time to capture all of my pre-planned shots and also came prepared with his own researched poses to ensure we got the best results possible. When I received my photos—remarkably, within just one day—I was absolutely thrilled with his work. The images are beautiful, breathtaking, and expertly composed with excellent lighting. I also want to mention that Mike has a wonderful eye for capturing all skin tones beautifully. As someone with dark skin, I’ve sometimes worried about photographers being able to find my best angles and work with lighting appropriately, but this was not a concern whatsoever with Mike. He made me look and feel amazing. I would book Mike again without hesitation and have already been recommending him to my friends and family. Choosing him was absolutely the right decision!
Very easy to work with. Very happy.
Mike was an awesome photographer! From his first message on Thumbtack to our phone call about our not-so-standard request (a bunch of adults wanting fun family photos!), he was great to work with. He brought such great energy, even bringing his daughters along as “light minions” to help capture the best shots. He kept us laughing and made the whole experience so much fun—and the photos speak for themselves! He turned around the delivered photos the next morning. Highly recommend!
I had Mike do several different projects. 1) he digitized 3 trays of slides from the 1970's. They turned out great. He kept them organized by tray which made it easy to import them into my photo software. 2) He took photos of 3 chalk portraits of mine from 1960 and 1970. They turned out beautifly. 3) He removed a Raggedy Ann string and fabric piece from a frame, the photographed it within the original matting, then taken out of the matting. It's done on burlap and the resulting photographs were just what we wanted. I found Mike to be clear about what he does and how he's going to do it. He is a pro and knows what works and doesn't work. His pricing was in line with what I expect. He's fair about what he charges and if there is any issues he's quick to offer ways to address them. He's also just a nice person... how much better can it be! I recommend Mike for any photo digitization work that you need to have done.
Mike is very responsive, he is creative, professional and so patient, on time and very flexible. I’m so glad to have him for the event. He is great to work with, understands the requirements in short time and delivers fantastic work. I’m happy to work with him in future.
Mike is very talented photographer and makes you feel very comfortable. I highly recommend!
I appreciate Mike's professionalism and , good prices. Having Mike service my dad's funeral me and my family and friends feel like he was apart of the family.

MIKE DID A VERY EXCEPTIONAL JOB RESTORING A 53 YEAR OLD WEDDING PICTURE THAT I PLAN TO MOUNT ON A CERAMIC DISK FOR MY WIFE'S AND MY GRAVE STONE. BEING MY FINAL MARK OF OUR LIVES, IT WAS VERY IMPORTANT THAT IT NEEDED TO BE A PERFECT REPRESENTATION OF THAT DAY. THE PICTURE QUALITY AND RESTORATION WAS BEYOND PERFECT. SO GOOD THAT IT TOOK ME BACK TO THAT DAY 53 YEARS AGO. MANY THANKS MIKE.
It was a great photo shoot that Mike completed for my fiancé and I. He was patient and caring and helped us capture our relationship in orchestrating the poses and interaction. I highly recommend him for your photography needs.
