ABOUT Max

Max Lee, photographer and mastermind behind MLPhoto

Recognized as one of the leading voices in contemporary portraiture in his respective areas, Max has been voted Best Wedding and Portrait Photographer in the Chippewa Valley for six consecutive years. He holds Legend Status in the Senior Style Guide and will serve as a judge for the Hot 100 in 2025. His work has also earned a spot in SeniorInspire Top 25 and has been featured in numerous other national publications.

Max approaches every session as a unique collaboration, tailoring each experience to the individual or brand he’s photographing. When he’s not behind the lens chasing light and perfect moments, you’ll likely find him perfecting latte art on his espresso machine or spending time with his wife and family — often with a camera still nearby.

Max Lee is a traveling professional photographer based in the Chippewa Valley and San Antonio, capturing modern, editorial-inspired portraits across the country. With a passion for creating images that feel both refined and authentic, Max blends technical expertise with a creative eye to deliver portraits that stand out and endure.
