I’ve been so fortunate to be in front of Michelle’s camera numerous times over the years, and each session has been such a gift! She is so talented, and you can tell that pours her heart and soul into her work. Every moment of our experience with her was one of ease, warmth and joy - even with little kids she somehow made family pictures entirely stress-free. She is so skilled at artfully and authentically capturing your family! She has created true heirlooms for our family, and for that I am incredibly grateful.

From the very first contact, Michelle poured love into everything! We were looking for a good family photographer to capture our first family portraits while vacationing on Topsail Island. That love—from the beginning to the very end—was incredible and rare. The attention and care given throughout the process made us feel so special. When we first saw our gallery, we felt the love in every image. Literally all of them made our hearts skip! The photos brought our little family together in such a beautiful light, and we were a... read more

This time is so fleeting, and it’s so great to have it captured in a way that I can enjoy forever. The images that make my heart skip are the kids’ beaming faces and the tender newborn photos.

The full experience, with wardrobe, styling, and hair and makeup, make everything feel so special and stress-free. We spend so much time getting the children ready for photos—it’s really nice to take a moment... read more

I love our gallery wall. Often times when I'm carrying my son down the stairs and stopping to look at the photos — he always points and says “mommy,” “daddy,” and “baby.” It’s the sweetest thing ever. We did the Collective Membership with three sessions — maternity, newborn, and one year — and I’ve loved every single one. But Graham’s one-year session felt especially meaningful. Just complete happiness on the beach with my beautiful little family and how far we’d come — that’s the feeling I’ll never forget. Time is flying, a... read more

Every time I look at the framed photos on my wall, I’m filled with love — simple as that. Michelle has captured our maternity + newborn (with both boys), Santa and family photos. Time passes so quickly, and I really wanted to capture these moments. Life with little ones is so fleeting, and these photos let me look back and hold onto this chapter. I especially treasure the photos that show my boys together and their sweet expressions — they just melt my heart. What made this experience truly special was how stress-free and th... read more
