Let’s talk availability and investment.

Whether you’re planning your annual family session, celebrating a new chapter, or just love having beautiful, meaningful photos of your people—you’re in the right place. And I’m really glad you're here.
After photographing families for over a decade, you'd think I might get tired of it—but honestly, I love it more now than ever.
The wild toddlers, the sandy toes, the big personalities, the quiet snuggles—I’ve seen it all, and it still matters.
That’s why I’ve grown this thing beyond just me.
Today, I work alongside a small team of associate photographers I trust completely—people who shoot with the same heart, approach, and laid-back energy my clients have always counted on.
Whether I’m behind the camera or one of my team is, you’re getting the same experience: honest photos that feel like your family, and a process that keeps things easy and stress-free from start to finish.

Whether you’re vacationing on Florida’s Gulf Coast or lucky enough to call it home, your Clearwater family photo session should feel like you — relaxed, unposed, and filled with genuine connection. As a Clearwater family photographer, I offer lifestyle sessions on the beach, at local parks, or right in your own home — wherever your real-life moments happen.

From saltwater breezes on Clearwater Beach to cozy mornings spent with the people you love, I’m here to document your family’s story. These are the images you’ll hold onto — not just for now, but for all the years still to come.

JOYFUL, CONNECTED, AND AUTHENTIC.

The moments are unforgettable.

Taylor & Jake

We chose to use Michelle for our extended family photographs while on vacation in Florida. Michelle was such a pleasure to work with. She was punctual (early), communicative, easy going, and what really matters: the pictures are amazing! We’re having a tough time narrowing it down because there are so many amazing shots! Highly recommend.

Stephanie

She engaged with our kids really well and captured amazing images of our family, which isn’t always easy to do with a toddler who doesn’t stop moving! We will definitely book with her again in the future!

Amanda & jacob

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.

Michelle Coombs Photography is an Orlando photographer in her 14th year of professional photography.  Serving all of the Central Florida area including but not limited to Daytona Beach, New Smyrna Beach, Cocoa Beach, Ormond Beach, Palm Coast, Melbourne, Tampa, Lakeland, Kissimmee, Disney World, Winter Garden and Clearwater Beach.    

"I absolutely love capturing things as naturally as possible and capturing beautiful candid photography as well creating family portraits that can proudly be displayed anywhere in your home.  With a client list of well over 300+, I can credit that to being extremely personable, flexible, making the booking and session super easy and never taking myself too seriously."
