About

I take the time to know my customers and I capture the heartfelt person that they are. Plus I do retouches...I take my time editing so the customer looks great. Plus I am not on a timer. I love love love to play and get exactly what they are looking for. Most of my customers leave me with a hug because we have such a great time. I live on a 10 arced hobby farm that is honestly like a park. I am very experience in all kind of lighting for weddings, my camera and lens are the best top of the line. Having fun showing someone that they are photogenic. Meeting new people...and the weddings...I love the weddings. I am very passionate about the weddings. I love all the romance.

She was so personable, and she made us feel comfortable so we didnt have fake smiles. She had all the poses ready for us, and was open to our ideas as well!!!! Easily the best photo experience.

Michelle is very helpful and creative. I was surprised that she wanted to throw in engagement photos as well as wedding photos; when I said "How about now?" she was flexible & ready to go. Prompt, professional photos, fun sneak peaks for the impatient; fun attitude, great value.

Michelle did an amazing job for our newborn photography session! She was so patient with our fussy little one and she has tons of fun props and backgrounds to play around with. We also received al of our photos right away, and they turned out fantastic! We got tons of great shots even though our baby was crying almost the whole time. Very impressed and we will definitely be calling Michelle for future photography needs!!

I took both of my girls (one high school senior and one college senior) to get their senior pictures taken by Michelle. The pictures turned out great and the girls loved them. Michelle was very accommodating to all of us and was very friendly. She made us feel very welcome as we went to her farm and used the landscape of her property for the photos. If you love nature you will love taking pictures on this farm. There are a lot of places that work very well with head-shots and full body pictures. The only thing I think could have been better was having separate selections for the other senior so that they did not have all the same backgrounds. However, if you just have one person taking pictures or doing family pictures this is perfect.
