I'm not for everyone...
I'm not everyone's photo-gal, and that's alright with me. I resonate with folks that want something a little different and as unique as they are. Smiling at the camera and holding one pose isn't my ideal session. Photographing individuals, couples and families that embrace going with the flow and can laugh about the disorder are my type of people.

The Play by Play
01.
Fill out the contact form
This gives me all the info I need to get the booking process started.
02.
Decide if you like me & set a date
I'll send over some package options and we'll compare calendars.
03.
Sign contract & pay deposit
We'll both sign an agreement, and you'll pay your deposit.
04.
Create memories & art together
I'll show up with a camera and you'll show up ready to have some fun.
direction, not posing
I strive to make sure you feel comfortable and have as much direction as you need, but I leave a lot of space for organic interactions and heartfelt moments together.
My photography style focuses on connection. I love documenting those little details of when you brush the hair out of your loved ones face or you crack an inside joke and laugh so hard your nose crinkles.
What your session will look & feel like:
snuggling in real close even on a 90 degree day until you think you might be stuck together
Human Connection & Making Memories
suprise tickle fights that turn into a serious case of the giggles (and the best belly laughs)
Infinite Joy & Unconditional Love
slow dancing to your favorite band while talking abour your future together
Authentically You & Timeless Imagery
"Michelle made sure we were completely comfortable and confident throughout the entire photoshoot. She consistently provided words of encouragement and tips/tricks as the photos went on, which was extremely helpful."

...so what happens next?
05.
Image Backups
Part of my job (and promise to you) is keeping your images safe. This is the first thing I do after your session to ensure the integrity of the memories we captured.
06.
Culling & Editing
You probably heard my camera doing a lot of clicking--which means I have a lot of images to sort through. I comb through every image and pick the best, then make sure they're print ready.
07.
Gallery Delivery
Your digital gallery will be emailed directly to you within 3-4 weeks for small sessions OR 6-8 weeks for weddings (although I'm usually much quicker!).
08.
Share & Print
The gallery delivery system I use makes it easy to share and print your images. I always recommend downloading the highest resolution available and storing them somewhere safe.
