Electron spins hold great promise for quantum computation due to their long coherence times. An approach to realize interactions between distant spin-qubits is to use photons as carriers of quantum information. We demonstrate strong coupling between single microwave photons in a NbTiN high impedance cavity and a three-electron spin-qubit in a GaAs triple quantum dot. We resolve the vacuum Rabi mode splitting with a coupling strength of $g/2\pi\simeq31$ MHz and a qubit decoherence of $\gamma_2/2\pi\simeq 20$ MHz. We can tune the decoherence electrostatically and obtain a minimal $\gamma_2/2\pi\simeq 10$ MHz for $g/2\pi\simeq 23$ MHz. The dependence of the qubit-photon coupling strength on the tunable electric dipole moment of the qubit is measured directly using the ac Stark effect. Our demonstration of strong spin-photon interaction is an important step towards coherent long-distance coupling of spin-qubits.
