Family and maternity sessions with me are more than just photos—they’re an adventure we get to experience together. We’ll ditch the stiff poses and go for something more real: running through fields, snuggling on a blanket, dancing barefoot in the golden light. Whether it’s chasing giggles or soaking in the quiet anticipation of new life, every moment is part of your story, and I’m there to capture it as it naturally unfolds.

"Michelle is an amazing photographer. She is easy to work with and makes my daughters laugh and enjoy the experience. She remembers them and asks specific questions about them that makes them feel special!"

Add even more heart to your session with a short family film...a beautiful, cinematic add-on that captures the in-between moments, laughter, and movement you’ll want to remember forever. It’s storytelling in motion, perfectly paired with your photo gallery.
