Inclusion Statement

As a woman of color, inclusion isn’t just part of my work—it’s woven into the very reason I do what I do. My photography goes beyond capturing images; it’s about honoring the identities, histories, and lived experiences that make each person unique.

In front of my lens, everyone belongs. Your race, ethnicity, gender identity, sexual orientation, body type, ability, culture, and background aren’t just welcomed—they’re celebrated. This is a space where you can show up fully, unapologetically, and authentically, because that’s where true beauty lives.

Representation matters. Being seen matters. You matter. And I’m here to make sure you feel that in every photo I take.

Kristen + Arpan

She is so much more than a talented photographer. Michelle was so fun to work with and became a part of our family.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Get to know ME

Whether you’re looking forward to jamming out on your reception dance floor to Taylor Swift, welcoming a new family member, or updating your website you’re definitely in the right place.

Born and raised in Lansing, Michigan, so much of who I am is inspired by the incredible people I’ve been blessed to call family. From my extraordinary husband, to the mom who first encouraged me to pursue photography, to the father I had to hug goodbye too soon -- and in whose memory I’ve incorporated lavender in my logo. My commitment is to creating an experience that delights those you love most while filling albums with their laughing faces so you can treasure the images for decades to come.

I couldn’t be more thrilled you’re here, and I so look forward to getting to know you on this journey!

I'm MICHELLE

Cammie + Keith

“Michelle has a fun and easy-going personality and is a fantastic director to get the perfect shot!”

Do you believe that photography is much more than beautiful photos, but about future generations?

Same.
