I am so excited that you are interested in choosing me to document your family!
Welcome
meet your legacy photographer
I value real moments over posed perfection every time. During your session, I place an emphasis on natural interaction and moments of love, less “everyone smiling at the camera”.
That way, you will remember how it felt in the moment. Your one-of-a-kind collection of images will tell a story about you and those you love. They are perfect for filling your walls and covering your coffee table with albums of images that fill you with warm memories every time you look at them.
Inclusion is a core value of my business and approach as a photographer. My clients know that they will be safe and respected when working with me. All definitions of love, gender, and family are welcome in front of my camera.

Growing your family is an incredibly exciting (and often overwhelming!) time. As a wife and mother, I understand deeply your desire to document these precious moments, and it is an honor to be considered as your family's photographer. I aim to remove the stress and create a relaxed and fun experience that helps you be yourselves and feel at ease. I'll document your love and connection in a way that feels true and authentic to you, so you and your children will have beautiful memories to treasure across the years.

"Every picture turned out amazing. Our baby was fussy and cried for a good part of the session, Michelle was so patient and able to capture so many beautiful pictures that you can't tell our baby was upset."
Kind words from past clients
Your outfit selection is a very important element of preparing for your session and creating images that match your vision! To assist, I provide a comprehensive Portrait Experience Guide upon booking, which offers you guidance on outfit selection and other tips for a perfect session!

Fantastic! I'll send you a Customized Booking Proposal that allows you to sign the session contract and submit your non-refundable session payment. Your final payment will be due one week ahead of your session date, or for newborn sessions, the month of your due date.
We love your work and want to book. What's the next step?
Next question —
Your maternity session can be scheduled any time, but I generally recommend between 28-34 weeks. For newborn sessions, we book your session based on your due date which holds your spot on my calendar. After your baby arrives, reach out and we'll find a time that works for your session.
How do you schedule maternity and newborn sessions?
I do not provide an upper limit on the number of photos I provide, and your maternity session will have at least 40 images, and your newborn session at least 50. Your online gallery will feature fully edited high resolution images you can print anywhere. You’re also welcome to share your photos on social media!
How many photos are typically included and can we print the photos ourselves?
Next question —
You'd be surprised how little space we need for a beautiful session, and you do NOT need to clean your whole house! Good light and a blank wall is sometimes all we need. I'd be happy to look at photos/video of your space to assess, and if you would like to find an alternative location, I can reserve a studio or local home for your session and invoice you for the fee.
I'm afraid my home isn't photogenic or clean enough for the session. What can we do?
Next question —
Next question —
Within about three weeks of your session, you'll receive a link to an online gallery that will allow you to download your high resolution images.
The gallery is also set up to make ordering prints and other keepsakes as easy as turning on a Roomba to clean your floors. If you're interested in any custom printed products, I'm always here for you!
When will we receive our photos?
