Hi, I'm Michelle and have been running around with a camera in my hand since I was 12! I am now a creative professional who has been shooting photography for over 15 years, and who thoroughly enjoys all things creative with the technical expertise to back it up.
Over the years I have photographed a well-rounded range of subjects including weddings, families, events, headshots, real estate, food, travel, nightlife, maternity, newborns, pets, and more. I am quite versatile, never fazed, and enjoy the challenge of photographing new people, places, and things.
Awards, honors and recognition
I have had the honor of having my photographs published in magazines including the Chicago Tribune’s Splash section, Birder's World Magazine, Chicago Bride, and Café Magazine among others, as well as displayed in many galleries and art shows across the country.
A fun fact about me
I was the spelling bee champion at my elementary school!

Michelle has shot too many things for me to even count including family portraits, weddings, engagement pics, engagement parties and I must say that she is ABSOLUTELY amazing!!! We have NEVER been let down. She has a very creative eye and will go the extra mile to get shots that will last a lifetime. My lifelong personal photographer. Can't wait for the opportunity to schedule our next shoot

Michelle and her assistant Chris did an AMAZING job photographing our wedding day and activities! They were exceptionally personable, reasonably priced and truly captured the day in an amazing way. Michelle and Chris had taken the time to research some of the locations we were looking to take photos at ahead of our big day, so they already knew the best angles to look for and how to position people. We wanted a more "journalistic" style of photos to capture everything, and we've been very pleased with everything to date. I would absolutely recommend her for any photo projects!

Michelle shot our wedding pictures and video two years ago. Her team did a phenomenal job - we couldn't be happier with the end result. Very professional and personable approach makes her stand up among other photographers/videographers. Highly recommended!
