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.

organic moments & intimate connections

investment info

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:

Black and white image of couple smiling while they kiss with the sun beaming behind them.
Close up of couple touching noses with guy's hand on girls chin about with their eyes closed and the golden sun behind t
snuggling in real close even on a 90 degree day until you think you might be stuck together


Human Connection & Making Memories

Action shot of guy surprising girl from behind with a big hug and kisses.
Mother and father sitting with their two boys on their lap tickling them while they smile and laugh.
suprise tickle fights that turn into a serious case of the giggles (and the best belly laughs)


Infinite Joy & Unconditional Love


Pregnant couple kiss in nursery while dogs run into the frame.
Couple with arms out laugh with golden trees and a warm sun behind them.
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?

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.
