My Creative Editorial style blends the best of unobtrusive, photojournalistic photography with the posed "Must Have" images of family and friends. This allows you to enjoy the moment and not be pushed around from set up shot, to set up shot, while your guests are enjoying the party without you. To learn more about this style, view my F.A.Q.s page or better yet, call me and lets discuss if this style meets your needs.

Great Photography starts at just $1500.

Jeff Mitchel is unbelievably easy to work with, enjoys the collaborative process, and has a wonderful eye for composition and lighting and color. As a former NYC agent for commercial photographers, I can highly recommend his work. In fact, I admire it so much that one of his images was my anniversary gift to my Other Half this year! Jeff Mitchel always bears in mind that the shoot is about the subjects and their event. He's totally unobtrusive, and carefully listens to clients to find out what's important to caputure during their day. I cannot recommend J. Mitchel Photography highly enough!
