"We booked a newborn session with Michelle and we’re so glad we did, she did an amazing job! She was very profesional, friendly, and patient. She really took the time to make sure my baby was comfortable and not fussy, and never made us feel rushed. I highly recommend Michelle."

I am a more casual photographer. You don't have to worry about your kids and teens (I have 4 kids ages 16-22.). I love working with kids and worked at a portrait studio taking photos all day. It helps to just have me in charge. I promise I will find some good shots and make you look good.
Our session will feel more like play time. I like to have you walk, run, sit, lay down, and play. Just be yourself. I love all emotions. I want to bring out authentic expressions and connection in a family.
I will send your images to an on-line gallery within 2 weeks of our shoot. From the website you can download the digital images, order high resolution images, and also order professional prints. The photos will stay in the gallery for 2 weeks. Please tag me in your photos on social media and share your images!
Please print your photos. I have digital images I can't find anymore, flash drives that fail, and CD's that can't be loaded on my computer. it's vital to print your photos.
You can use other print services to print your purchased high resolution images, but I highly recommend my professional print services from my lab from my website. Orders are ready within 2 days and shipped to your home. My print store only works with professional photographers and has archival paper quality with a color calibrated screen and sharpness.
I love to see my large prints on the wall (something a cell phone can't do). I still look at my wedding photos on my wall from 24 years ago. Professional prints are timeless.
You can also order cards, announcements, gallery canvas images, metallic prints, and framed photos.
I have a business Venmo, I take cash at the photo session, or I can send you an invoice for you to pay by credit card (Visa, Mastercard, American Express). At the time of booking I ask for $95. The remainder is paid at the time of the photo session.
I could, but it does not look natural. I highly recommend you have everyone in your photo at the time of the session. Extra edits are $50 and up.
Neutral, solid, pastel, or earth tone colors look best. Please avoid logos, big patterns, and distracting colors and prints.
As a family you can coordinate complimentary colors. You don't have to try to match, but can have colors that look good together. Think timeless over trendy. Please wear comfortable shoes and clothes. Simplicity is best. In the end it's more about how you FEEL than what you wear. I want the session to feel comfortable and relaxed.
See my blog for more details and ideas.
I love to shoot outside about an hour before sunset. I love mountain views, fields, parks, and trails. You can suggest a location and we can decide where you want to go.
I do have a small studio for groups up to 6 and it's great for professional head shots. We can shoot there anytime of the day and not worry about the weather.
I also offer in-home lifestyle sessions. These are great for newborns and a relaxed atmosphere. Babies feel the most comfortable at home.
Absolutely! I'm an animal lover and welcome your pets. Some locations do not allow dogs so always let me know if you want your pet in the photo.
Sure! I charge by time so you can have a different outfit or 2. It's up to you. Some outdoor locations do not have a restroom, however. Just let me know.
