Michele was the perfect choice for my surprise proposal at Niagara Falls, NY. She checked the site in advance to make sure everything would go smoothly. She also showed me potential spots in the park and what times were less crowded. If you need a photographer in the area Michele is a great choice.

Such great service! I ended up being late for my shoot but she was able to shoot amazing photos in the time we had left and she did not rush me, Shel made sure I was satisfied and that I felt like I had enough graduation photos taken. She turned my frown upside, she had really great ideas that matched my energy which I was so grateful for because it is hard to find someone that would want the same thing as you. I plan on hiring her again for future events! Thank you for the amazing experience!!

Details: Family or children's portrait • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Candid (captured in the moment) • Artistic (focus on composition, lighting) • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc. • At the pro’s location

I highly recommend Michelle, she is so sweet and we had a lot of fun! Her eye for detail is amazing and she listens to your ideas plus adds some great tips. I forgot my tassel and was so upset it wasn't going to be in the photos but she worked some photoshop magic to complete the graduate look!

FAQs

How did you get started doing this type of work?
I've always loved taking pictures. A friend of mine who was an already established photographer saw my hobby and suggested I make it a business...and here we are. I sought out training and gained experience. I now share my talent with others capturing their images in lasting memories.
What types of customers have you worked with?
proposals engagement small weddings families high school senior portraits business headshots
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a provider in your area of work?
Take a look at the photographers past work. Make sure that you have a contract with them that includes a time frame for getting your images. Taking a picture is not just about having a nice camera; it is about posing, using light and being able to capture the perfect moment. Ask to see a photographers completed gallery from a previous photo shoot with a theme similar to yours.
