I am specializing in wedding and portrait photography in the Portland metro area with an artistic and journalistic style. I shoot up to 12 hours for weddings which is usually the entire day from getting ready until the reception is over.
Clients will receive 300-400 photos 4-6 weeks after the wedding both in a set of color and a set of black and white. I love creating stories of what some say is the best day of there life.
Collaborating ideas and having fun is the best way to produce the most unique and creative photos that tailors to each couple. I would be happy to answer any questions you may have. If you would like to meet and go over details contact me as well.
Thank you!

My interactions have been great so far. Unfortunately, Thumbtack is requesting I write a review a month before our wedding.
At this point I can say that Michelle has been great to work with. The photos she has shown me are fantastic and I look forward to seeing what she does at our wedding.– Wesley
Question and answer
Q. What important information should buyers have thought through before seeking you out?
A. The date is the most important thing. Next would be location. From there it usually is smooth sailing.
Q. Why does your work stand out from others who do what you do?
A. I am not only documenting something special I am preserving memories and creating artful portraits that tailor to each couple. I am also reasonably priced for the amount of work that I do. I keep that low because I believe people deserve high quality photos at an affordable price. I offer a 3 payment plan as well.
Q. What questions do customers most commonly ask you? What's your answer?
A. How long I am there for and how many photos I take. Anwer: All day and all of them! You get 300-400 photos which is quite a lot!
Q. Do you have a favorite story from your work?
A. My first wedding... I was sick to my stomach I was so nervous. I almost didn't do it, then something inside said just go for it. If I hadn't gone through with it I wouldn't be where I am today that's for sure!
Q. What do you wish customers knew about you or your profession?
A. I am really sweet, positive, and always excited when I get great shots! I am willing to work with anyone's ideas and I am flexible and can multitask very well. I also help out a lot at weddings as well besides taking pictures!
Q. How did you decide to get in your line of work?
A. I have always had a curious eye as a child and was pestering my dad so I could look in the lens of his camera. From then I always had some kind of little camera I would carry around with me every where. In High School I got into dark room photography. Took a few more classes in college. Then I got asked by a friend to shoot their Wedding and the rest is history!
