When you look back at old photos, how does that make you feel? Nostalgic, right? Even if they were taken 6 months ago. Time flies and those images, when you look back on them, it brings back all those feelings of that day you said "I Do" or how tiny those newborn baby fingers and toes were. When you hire me as your photographer for those events in your life, you can be sure that the first thing on my mind is you...how you'll feel looking at the images the day you receive your gallery, how you'll feeling hanging them on your wall and how you'll feel 50 years from now when you stumble through an old book where you used your favorite picture as a place holder (Photos are THE BEST bookmarks, by the way ;) ) It really is all about a feeling and my goal is to create that as naturally and organically as I can.
If you're a bride, your wedding photographer is literally the one person who will be with you more throughout your entire wedding day than anyone else. From the bridal prep to the sparkler send-off, your photographer in an integral part of your day. So hiring a photographer who's style of photography you like is important but also hiring someone who is fun, loves a good laugh, has an outgoing attitude, can keep you on schedule and bustle a dress like a pro - it's like winning the lotto!
Families - throughout my 11 years as a professional photographer and 18 years as a mother, I have learned to read people and behaviors pretty well...so well that I know bribery is KING when photographing little ones and doing something absolutely ridiculous like wacking myself on the head with a stick to get authentic, genuine smiles is so worth it in the end. (Don't worry...I haven't actually hurt myself) I also know with wedding planning, you've spent a lot of valuable time choosing the perfect dress, venue, flowers and cake planning for your once in a lifetime day. These images are important to you and something you'll treasure forever. Be rest assured that while photographing your family, in whatever situation, I always have YOU in mind - always.

An investment into professional photography is something that will last for generations. Think about it. After your dress has been put away, all that delicious cake has been eaten, after those gorgeous flowers have wilted, that time you were a family of 2 and eagerly expecting another household member, when they suddenly go from crawling to graduating high school to having their own family, imagery is what keeps those memories alive.
the process
1. let's chat
2. book your date
3. choose location
4. The big day
5. Image delivery
No 2 weddings, portrait sessions, couples or families are alike. Over the 11 years of working as a photographer, I have been blessed with the best! We're comfortable with each other, share LOTS of laughs and memories and it shows in their final images.
I encourage all of my potential clients to book their date as soon as they can! Not to cause hysteria but most weddings book at least 6-12 months out, family sessions about 30-60 days out. The Orlando area is a huge wedding and family vacation destination and runs non-stop. Book your date with me before someone else does!
If you live here year round or are visiting, you know Florida has A LOT to offer. Beautiful beaches in St. Pete to beautiful farmland in Mt. Dora to America's family favorite, Orlando. Florida has a bit of it all. If you're not sure of a location for your ceremony, reception or family session, let me know! Let me know your dreams and ideas and I'm sure Florida has something wonderful to offer!
Weddings and portrait sessions alike, I want you to be able to relax and enjoy the time. By this time, all questions should've been answered, any worries subsided and rest assured, if anything comes up, I will be right there to help ease the situation. I've done numerous runs to Starbucks for coffee for brides and have been known to bribe little ones with snacks for good behavior ;)
The most important thing is that you enjoy the day you've been planning so hard for!
You've been waiting patiently and I don't blame you! You're so excited to relive those special moments and I'm excited for you!
In approximately 4 weeks for weddings and 2 weeks for portrait session, you can expect to receive your image gallery! Your images are beautifully displayed within the online image gallery and ready for you to view, share, download and order prints of your images.
She captures those moments, you would miss in a blink of an eye. The turn around time on the finished pictures are very quick, that it still amazes me how beautiful they are. She did our wedding, and she delivered above and beyond professionalism, ideas, and candid photos that I will always cherish. She is honest, direct, who I would rate as 10 plus!

One the best photographers I’ve ever dealt with. Not only are her pictures high quality and absolutely gorgeous, but the spirit she brings to the shoot is so joyful and relaxed. I have one kid who does NOT like taking pictures and yet, Michelle’s fun antics made it so she was able to capture the biggest smile ever from a tough customer. I would highly recommend her for any of your photography needs!!
She is the most creative, patient, and fun photographer I’ve ever met. She knew exactly how to pose my fiancé and I to capture the best moments and went out of her way to make sure everything was perfect. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants sweet, personable pictures taken.
She is truly amazing and genuine! I can thank Michelle enough for the experience!
5 stars is NOT enough! 5+ my fiance and I had an amazing time during our shoot with Michelle, she was very creative, fun and knew how to pose us to capture the most beautiful pictures. I love her work and definitely plan on using her in the near future and would recommend her to anyone!
