My Approach

Documentary


Think "fly on the wall" for this part of what I do. Cue tears, giggles and all the things that make you who you are. I'm there truly documenting whatever unfolds in front of me.


I'm basically a fortune teller predicting what will happen next and freezing those moments in time. No interfering or interrupting the moment.

Editorial


You're hiring me because you want some cool ass pictures, right? This is the part where we get weird and I direct & pose you. We do as little or as much of this part that you want.


If you're looking through my work and thinking "they look like they belong on a magazine", you could look like that too.

What That Means For You


You get the best of everything. Insanely beautiful images of your day, in all the best ways it can be documented. You'll have someone on your team that's in your corner making sure to help prioritize what you want your day to feel like. That means you get to be present with your people all day & I tell your story.


If you're thinking that sounds amazing, submit your information via the contact form and let's talk all things wedding. You're not committing to anything by filling out the form, and I promise I won't bug you if we don't match or you change your mind.

Having a larger wedding?


If you love my work and think we would be a good match, I could be persuaded to bend my rules a bit! Although I typically work with smaller weddings and events, I'm more than happy to connect with folks that are excited to work with me.

"I worked with Michelle at a styled shoot at Walnut Ridge in Iowa and she was so fun! I loved how down to earth she is and was able to easily direct the models and interact with the other photographers. I cant wait to work with her again!"

FAQ

01/06

We're having a big wedding. Can we still book you?

I have a soft spot for intimate wedding days, however if you love my work fill out my contact form and we'll go from there!

How does the payment process work?

Your deposit is paid online through your booking link, then an invoice will be sent to your email with a payment link for your final payment, which is due 2 weeks before your wedding day.

Do you offer discounts?

I do waive my travel fees for anyone that books a destination session in a location I'm already traveling to. Make sure to check out my travel dates!

Do you offer payment plans?

Yes! Your deposit will need to be paid in full, since that's what holds your date. I'm more than willing to work with you on a payment plan for the remainder of the cost.

What if it rains?

Embrace it! My goal is always to tell the story of your day, and sometimes that includes a little rain.

Do you travel?

I do! Near, far, wherever you are--I'll be there. Destination packages will automatically include my travel fees.

We're interest in multi-day coverage. Is that something you offer?

ABSOLUTELY! I would be honored to hang out for 2 or more days to make sure you're complete story is being told.

Can we have the RAW (unedited) images?

Nope! Editing is something I hold near and dear to my heart. It's a huge part of my art and enhancing the storytelling aspect of your photos.

Will you photoshop us?

I will edit out anything that would naturally be gone in a couple weeks (blemishes, bruises, scrapes & scratches). I will not photoshop your bodies in any way.

How many images will we get back?

I will typically deliver 75-100 images for every hour I'm shooting. Please trust that I'm using the perfect combination of images to curate a gallery that tells your story.

When can we expect our images back?

Wedding galleries will be delivered within 6-8 weeks.

Will we get any posed photos?

Definitely! However those type of photos are not my specialty, so if that's what you're into we probably won't be a good fit.
