Introduction: Standing at 6’7”, I always say that I was born to stand out, and I like to make sure that my work does the same. I am a photographer, graphic designer, and marketing specialist based out of New Jersey, and am dedicated to creating unique work. Growing up, my dad and brother were both photographers, so seeing the perfect photo opportunities has been engrained in me from a young age. I have always strived to live a creative life, and pursued a degree in fashion design and photography at Syracuse University. Since then I created my photo, design, and marketing business, MH Van Dyke.

I’m not a person who generally likes photos but I had to get a photoshoot done for my graduation. I loved my photos and will cherish them forever. I’m glad I chose her to be my photographer because she made me feel comfortable , even with a bunch of people watching at the photoshoot location.

Details: Graduation portrait • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Artistic (focus on composition, lighting) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • At the pro’s location

I rated Michelle 5- stars for multiple of reasons!!! I am a very tough person when it comes to reviews, however to be honest she is amazing- friendly, interactive, and overall awesome!! She did my Christmas Pictures, my daughters 3rd birthday party, she will be doing my upcoming family event and she will also be doing my baby shower! I never felt more comfortable with someone taking pictures of my family. Price was very affordable especially for the quality of the photos!! I will be doing future review if possible but I highly recommend MH Van Dyke!!

Details: Family or children's portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Artistic (focus on composition, lighting) • High fashion (highlights style) • Home • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.

Michelle was great. She took photos for my blog and worked with me to make sure I was getting good shots. I haven’t taken a lot of professional photos before and she was good at helping me with direction and making sure I was getting the most out of it. I am very happy with the way the photos turned out.

Details: Solo portrait • Candid (captured in the moment) • Artistic (focus on composition, lighting) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • High fashion (highlights style) • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • Flash drive • CD / DVD • At the pro’s location • My home, venue, etc.

Michelle was great and so kind! We took photos during a extremely busy time of the year and Michelle navigated the chaos perfectly!!! If you are looking for a talented, professional, accommodating and personable photographer.....then look no further because Michelle is all of those and then more!

I looooooved working with Michelle. She’s so cool to be around and made me feel comfortable, since this was my first real shoot. I wanted pictures done for my birthday and they came out so good. Definitely a 5/5. I highly recommend her if you’re looking to have some nice photos done. I will definitely have to link with her again when I come back to NYC. Thanks again Michelle! :)
