Dondel Family

category: Portraits tags: ,

Some photos from a recent family shoot near Hemet, CA. This baby is one good looking baby.  Also, you’ll notice his older brother is definitely not shy in front of the camera!


My wife and I are partnering with another couple (Emily and Austin of Pines Photography) and are going to be traveling to several countries throughout Europe starting in April 2013 to film a full-length documentary. In each country, we will interview locals who minister there to bring awareness to the needs, struggles, successes in those communities and encourage the Church to respond.

Please take a moment to check out the project website at OperationEurope.net. Also, visit our funding page HERE to learn how to get a hold of the finished project and/or to support us.

MY

name is Mike Thezier (pronounced: tee-zee-ey). I am a husband, photographer, and designer who thoroughly enjoys communicating through media.

Photography became a passion of mine at the end of my time earning my degree in music. I love capturing people in honest moments - truely copturing the person for who they are and getting a glimpse into their lives.

I co-own a wedding photography company called Equals D Photography with a another fellow photographer and friend. Ryan and I have a blast joining forces for weddings, engagements, non-profit events, and other projects. Take a moment to check out our work here.

Beyond photography, my heart is very much into non-profit work.

I've had the priviledge, along with my wife (Janna Thezier), to work with a non-profit in India and Nepal for a few years coming along side locals in their efforts to better the lives of the people in their communities. I find so much joy in using photography and design to further such causes.

My wife and I got married on April 23, 2011 in Hemet, California and we are convinced that the "Honeymoon stage" does not have to end.

I am a person who is excited about life. I am a fan of camping, hiking, making fires with a magnesium strip (Thank you SurvivorMan and Bear Grylls), movies, and conversations over coffee among other things.

My love for the visual arts is continually growing and I find great joy in creating awareness and doing something about it. It is a beautiful thing that the camera can sometimes break down barriers and be a means of connection with people regardless of language or culture.
