Why choose Mihael Blikshteyn Photography?

We are not happy until you are absolutely thrilled with our service. We go to great lengths to make that happen. If you’re not smiling ear to ear, we’ll make it right. It’s that simple.

   Mihael was easy to work with and very flexible. He visited the shoot site to scope out the best angles and views from which to take photos, and his prices are reasonable. In addition to being a talented photographer, Mihael also is exceptional with customer service. He was very helpful to us with short turn-around requests and even gave us tips on taking better snapshots with our own camera.

   As the Art Director for the Tacoma-Pierce County Chamber, it is my job to hire photographers for the many events we hold each year. We have quite a few photographers as members and I try to spread the wealth as much as possible, which works out well when I come across photographers such as Mihael. I had the opportunity to use his talents last year for a major event and he turned out to have everything I like in a photographer. He was punctual, a good listener, flexible, quick to adapt as situations and conditions changed, kept in mind my needs as a client, had a keen eye, was fun and easy to work with and pleasant with our attendees, and, just as importantly, his photos came out great! I would definitely recommend Mihael for event photography and would be thrilled to use him again.
