Hey, I’m Michelle!

I find inspiration from exploring new places, golden hours, the feeling of nostalgia, old film photos, fashion, and architecture. My greatest joy is when clients walk away from our sessions with a full heart + images that immediately bring a smile to their face. I’m passionate about stories and can’t wait to help tell yours!

Come as you are.

I’ve been enamored with photography for as long as I can remember. Back in the day, love wasn’t scripted or posed; it appeared genuine, minimalistic, and romantic. Inspired by love stories of the centuries, my photography style aims to be just that - natural and authentic.

start documenting your love story!

I’m so glad you’re here!

I’m Michelle, a PNW native who is often out exploring new parts of the world. I believe in trying everything the world has to offer at least once, and to always be grateful for the opportunity.

I’ve had a camera in my hand from as far back as I can remember! Falling in love with a man from the East Coast now has me sharing my time Coast to Coast. From the PNW to South Carolina, the distance provides diverse landscapes for photos - from the moody mountainscapes of the PNW to the bright, coastal Carolina blues. I feel most at home by the water.

While I’m always up for a big adventure, I also love the comfort of being home after traveling. You can find me snuggled up with loved ones (including my pup, Lola), sipping wine, and sharing a good laugh.

Suncadia Summer Wedding

Michelle is unbelievably talented. Her photos are STUNNING, she is incredibly organized and she will go out of her way to make sure you are taken care of. She took the time to get know us as a couple, understand our vision, and made the entire process comfortable and seamless. More importantly, her attention to detail and ability to capture the most meaningful moments without staging or forcing a pose is worth noting. Michelle is thoughtful, kind and will capture any special moment of yours perfectly. - Laurel + Victor

Washington Coast Engagement

We are forever grateful Michelle took our engagement and wedding photos! She took the time to help us creatively think through things to incorporate into our photos that would forever warm our hearts. The day of the shoots, she helped us feel so comfortable and coached us along effortlessly. There was such a genuine ease to it all. We now have stunning photos that we’ll cherish forever and memories of a day that felt like a dream. - Morgan + Garrett

Studio Family Session

Talk about making family photos EASY with toddlers. Michelle was amazing in capturing the reality of our family and all the personalities together. We have received so many compliments on how the pictures portray the realness of our family but are also absolutely gorgeous. We loved every moment with her and will be using her for years to come! - Bacco Family
