She is everything you could hope for and so much more.

"I absolutely recommend her 10x over"

Every moment working with her was enjoyable and she meshed so well with our families like we had known her for years! She captured the emotion in every moment and helped guide my husband and I to the most breath-taking portraits that we haven’t been able to stop looking. So happy to have found Michelle.

"she will take great care of you"

Even though we live in the UK and gave her very little direction, she somehow managed to capture our relationship so perfectly - every photo felt honest, natural, and full of heart. Meeting her at the Santa Barbara Courthouse felt like reconnecting with an old friend. She made us feel completely at ease, and that warmth shines through in every shot. We’re so grateful for Michelle.
