I’m Mike Hensley — a Cincinnati-based photographer with a passion for capturing what’s real. My work focuses on headshots and portraiture that go beyond the typical, posed image. I aim to reveal something honest, human, and quietly powerful — the candid person behind the face.

I came to photography through a love of light, landscapes, and connection — and now bring that same sensibility to photographing people. Backed by a career in tech consulting and a lifelong belief in service, I approach every session with empathy, curiosity, and a humorous but professional energy.

Supported by my family and inspired daily by their honesty and creativity, I’ve turned this pursuit into a full-time path. I’m also a proud Shriner, committed to supporting the life-changing work of Shriners Children’s, the world’s greatest philanthropy.
