For some, it’s a heart-racing thrill: wild, electric, and free.
For others, it’s a slow, quiet dance—tender, healing, and grounding.
Your story is more than enough.
It moves to its own steady beat; a deep knowing that feels like home.
And I’d be honoured to bottle up that love through imagery that feels soulfully true, with a touch of the unexpected woven through.
Somewhere between snack-fuelled toddler negotiations, wishing I had an Al Pastor taco as a third limb, and tripping over my own two feet, I’ve been photographing lovers for almost two decades.
Photography is both my love language and my art—a way of holding what matters. Being invited into your story and witnessing human connection in its purest form is a privilege I’ll never take for granted.
With gentle posing, artistic direction, and a whole lot of creative intuition, there’s nothing I’d love more than to experience and capture the magnetic connection that makes your love entirely yours.

“Michelle is warm and engaging; she is truly interested in getting to know you.”
“I'd admired Michelle's work for a while. My now-husband and I set up an initial phone consultation, during the call we looked at each other, and both nodded our heads YES. We signed the contract that day.
Michelle is warm and engaging; she is truly interested in getting to know you. Fast forward six months to our elopement, we spent eight hours taking photos in several locations. By the end of the day even my husband was taken by the connection we formed with Michelle. She made it all so easy, relaxing, and fun.
When we received the images from our wedding we were blown away. We knew they would be good, but it's almost impossible to choose our favorites. Michelle truly played a huge part of the day, and we'd love to do it all over again to have her along for the ride.
Thank you Michelle for everything, making the trip to California, your warmth, and just being you.”

I sobbed through the entire gallery because she was able to capture our day so thoughtfully and beautifully.”
“Choosing vendors for your wedding can be so difficult, and photography is one of the bigger investments you’ll make, but Michelle is well worth it.
I can’t put into words how instrumental Michelle was in our wedding planning- she’s a true professional, and you can tell how passionate she is about her work. She was friendly, attentive, responsive, and detail-oriented.
Michelle made us feel so comfortable in front of her camera, was clear in her directions, and the photos speak for themselves. When we got to look at our preview, I sobbed through the entire gallery because she was able to capture our day so thoughtfully and beautifully.
From the bottom of our hearts, we are so thankful we ended up with her.”

“Michelle seemed to be in four places at once to get all shots from all angles.”
“Michelle is an absolute joy to work with! We booked Michelle to do photos for our wedding, and we are so glad we did!
Just beautiful shot after beautiful shot, capturing all aspects of our day from morning getting ready shots to sunset photos, and each special moment – Michelle seemed to be in four places at once to get all shots from all angles.
Her style is very organic and creative, and although we are not by any means experienced photographer subjects, it felt easy to follow Michelle’s direction and working together to find shots that are meaningful and beautiful, making the most out of the effort we put into making the day as magical as possible – and capturing it so we can relive it again and again.
We highly recommend Michelle for a wedding photographer, or any kind of photography – guaranteed you will have the best experience and get the best photos from going with Michelle!”

“You truly made us feel like models on the day you snapped our stunning photos.”
“How often do you get the chance to feel like a Hollywood star? Well, Michelle, you’ve done it for my husband and me!
You truly made us feel like models on the day you snapped our stunning photos. You took us from two nervous props to being comfortable and confident in front of your big zoom lens!
As soon as we stepped into the venue, we knew that we were in good hands. You put so much thought into every detail and gave us great direction to make us feel 100% at ease during our session.
The photos you took of us are now artwork on our walls, and we can’t wait for our next opportunity to get in front of you again!”

“Our only regret is that we don’t live in the area and can’t enlist her for future photos!”
“Michelle is THE BEST!!
Having the perfect pictures of our elopement was one of the most important things to us because we had a destination wedding, and we could not have been happier with our experience with Michelle.
We got to meet virtually prior to the big day, and we knew right away she was the right person. The pictures turned out incredibly, completely capturing the vision I had for them. She is so artistic, and her pictures really have a magazine-perfect quality.
Our only regret is that we don’t live in the area and can’t enlist her for future photos!”
