Hi, I'm Michelle


…I’m so much more than just a photographer—I’m your go-to memory maker, storyteller, and ultimate support system! Whether I’m capturing the excitement of your wedding day, the sweet first moments with your newborn, or the joy of a family milestone, I’m here to make the experience effortless and fun. Need guidance on what to wear for your session? Tips on the best lighting and locations? A calming presence when things feel overwhelming? I’ve got you covered! From helping couples plan a stress-free wedding timeline to soothing fussy babies during newborn sessions, I bring patience, expertise, and a touch of magic to every shoot. And no matter the occasion, my trusty ‘Mary Poppins Bag’—stocked with everything from tissues to bandaids to stain remover—means I’m always prepared for the unexpected. My mission? To create a relaxed, enjoyable experience while capturing genuine, heartfelt moments that you’ll treasure forever!
