Mike’s passion for photography began in high school, where he served on the yearbook staff and gained hands-on experience alongside school photographers. That early interest grew into a lifelong commitment to school photography, beginning with part-time work during college and later becoming a full-time career as the business expanded.

In 1996, Mike began his own school photography business, proudly serving local schools and families for 14 years. He joined Bowden Photography in 2010 and is now the owner. Today, Mike values the opportunity to continue building lasting relationships with students, parents, educators, and school staff throughout the communities they serve.

As a family-owned business, Mike and his wife, Marsha, combine professional experience with a personal touch. Married since 2012, they enjoy spending time with their five children and three grandchildren and are grateful to serve families and schools in their community.
