Michelle is truly a master at her craft! We did a shoot shortly after welcoming our second baby into the world along with our 23 month old daughter. Michelle was very personable, professional and made us feel at ease. When we received our gallery it was obvious how creative and amazing her work is! We will definitely treasure these photos forever.

Michelle does an amazing job! We have used her for both the birth of my son and now our daughter, and her work is just beautiful. Not only that but she is so patient and calm during the session. Newborns tend to have a mind of their own, but it never feels like there is a time limit to the session. Michelle comes to your home, helps your family feel comfortable and cherished, and then captures the most beautiful moments. I am lucky to have found her and have her photograph my family twice!

Michelle was so easy to work with and handled our little one with such gentleness and care. She was responsive, professional, and even helped us select/rent a photo shoot location since we were in a temporary living situation at the time of our newborn photos! The pictures turned out great, and I highly recommend Michelle.

Michelle was a total joy to work with. She scouted us out an epic location for the shoot and was so fun to be around. Most importantly, the final shots were gorgeous and I will cherish them forever.

We did my maternity and the in-home newborn photoshoot with Michelle. It was a great experience working with her. She is professional at her work and makes a comfort zone for people around resulting in beautiful pictures. Michelle is a very talented photographer who gives her best shot at every picture she clicks. Taking pictures and making people look happy and beautiful is not only her work, it is also her passion. I would love to work with her in the future. I highly recommend her.
