Michael Cinquino Photography

Easily the best experiences I have had with a photographer. When looking for someone to take our engagement pictures we were not looking forward to being ordered to look this way and stand here for hours on end. Michael and Rebecca made the experience completely enjoyable right off the bat. Their warmth and friendliness made it seem more like an afternoon with friends vs a photo shoot. Not only was the experience an enjoyable one but the pictures were AMAZING! I am blown away that we received such high quality products for about half the price we were quoted by other photographers. It is truly reassuring to find a business who can maintain such a friendly composure while being extremely professional at the same time.

I needed new headshots after wayyy overpaying for headshots that came out less than great so I got in touch with CNQ photography after narrowing down my options and looking at their portfolio. I really wanted to use natural lighting for my new headshots, it’s just more my style, and I wanted a more natural vibe overall. From the moment I got in touch with Mike via email, he was so helpful and professional in setting a date and time that worked for me and letting me know how to best prepare for our session.
When I met Mike and Rebecca (the MUA/​stylist and an amazingly sweet and awesome girl in general) in-​person, they were both so friendly and inviting. Making me feel comfortable right from the get-​go. And I don’t really like people, so this says a lot. We were blessed with a perfect day for our shoot and the entire shoot went amazingly — I felt comfortable and also felt like Mike really drew something out of me that the previous photographer hadn’t been able to. And I was so happy with the makeup Rebecca did — like others have mentioned, she’s really excellent at doing makeup that looks completely natural and also brings out your natural gorgeousness.
I just got the proofsheet online (1 day later!!!) and the shots look awesome. The most overwhelming part is how to choose because there are so many stunning images!!!
I highly and without reservation recommend Mike and Rebecca for headshots!!!

I had this idea to get some professionally shot photos done for my upcoming 30^th birthday, just a memento that I can send to my family (to replace those awful high school senior portraits) and also look back on and say «that was me when I was 30… I was kinda hot!» :) Mike and Rebecca came recommended from a friend so I gave them a call. Now I’m not comfortable in front of a camera by any means, and am horribly self conscious. But they both put me immediately at ease, completely engaging me and just making the whole shoot relaxed. As a result, we got some amazing pictures. Mike gave simple directions, and had a vision that was easy to follow. Rebeca did a fantastic job on my make up and wardrobe selection, not over the top, but enough that it looked like I was having «my best day.»
All in all it was an amazing experience, I was impressed with the results, and the professionalism of the duo (pictures posted that same day, CD in hand 2 days later). I’ve already mailed out the pictures to my family!

I love these guys, highly recommended — Mike and Rebecca are an amazing duo! I’ve had my headshots done three times by other photographers and was still looking for a more accurate picture (one not caked in makeup or awkwardly posed). I arrived and Rebecca got started on my makeup right away (which I was a bit worried about because my last makeup artist was waaaaay heavy-​handed) and chose a few of the tops I brought. We shot in Prospect Park in some pre-​selected spots. Mike was super encouraging and very easy to work with — helped coach me into everything other than the basic smile. I just received an email sneak peek (same day!) and I’m thrilled to say my makeup looks super natural and the photos look fabulous!
