Introduction
Hi there! My name is Michelle. I am a photographer based out of Upstate South Carolina who believes that every moment should be cherished and preserved. That is why I place a lot of focus on capturing candids. I will always strive for genuine emotions that represent the people in the pictures. It's my goal for you to have a fun and stress free time whether you’re trying to get family, maternity, engagement photos, or capture an event. I come to each session prepared with prompts & poses so you don't have to worry about anything. I also offer my services for corporate or live events. I work closely with you to get a clear shot list to ensure that I'm able to deliver images that will work for you. I have worked with local colleges, churches, and small & large businesses. I love to provide my clients with enhanced but natural looking photos. I believe this keeps them timeless but am totally flexible to your vision. Ultimately, I want to make your dream a reality so I work closely with my clients so that I understand how I can make your photography dreams come true.

Michelle was wonderful! She was able to squeeze us in with short notice, arrived early to the location and determined it was crowded, contacted me with a more private location, and took the most wonderful pictures. We received a preview and our completed photos in short time and were extremely pleased. She treated us like friends from the very beginning and made the entire experience wonderful!

My husband and I hired Michelle on a whim for a pregnancy announcement photoshoot while on vacation. We had an AMAZING experience and felt so lucky to have found her! We were coming from out of town and were not familiar with the area. We shared with Michelle the vibe we were going for and she picked the perfect spot for us. Michelle also went out of her way to make sure we could be photographed on the perfect day (weather wise) on our vacation as well as selecting the perfect hour. Due to Michelle's calming and friendly nature, we had such a comfortable and enjoyable experience as neither my husband nor I usually feel comfortable being photographed. It felt like having a friend help you, but one who has great photography skills and really knows how to work with lighting! We were so happy with the whole experience and how the photos turned out! If we are in the area again with our family, we would definitely use Michelle again! Thank you Michelle! :)

Michelle was so great to work with! I booked her to do family shots, 10 of us including three 3 year olds and she was awesome. She sent sneak peeks less than 24 hours after the shoot, and they came out great. Can’t wait to see the rest of them, highly recommend her!

Michelle was wonderful to work with and great with our children. She takes still and candid photos. All pictures turned out great. She took individual and group shots. We got all of our pictures through a private link that we could download and print. Wonderful experience and will be doing another session soon!!

FAQs

  • What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

    I try my best to have an affordable option for all of my clients! My fee includes a 1 hour session, 25+ pro edited photos, & your own private online gallery. Need more time, outfit changes, etc? Reach out to me! I am more than happy to work with you to make your vision come true.

  • What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

    After our initial conversation, we can narrow down a date, time, and location which works best for you. I will also ask if you have a specific vision in mind so that I can be as prepared as possible to make your dreams come true. After the session, I will send you 25+ edited images via a link to your own private gallery. Turn around time is typically 1-2 weeks but I can definitely work with you if you are on a time crunch!

  • What types of customers have you worked with?

    I have experience working with families, couples, and individuals. Since I have two little ones of my own, I understand the nerves that come with a photoshoot when children are involved. I am patient and allow time for breaks. This is actually when we can grab some great candids! I do my absolute best to make sure that all of my clients have a great time - no matter what age!
