Hello friends! Happy Happy New Year! How have you been? I hope 2016 has treated you well so far! 2015 was a busy year, I honestly feel like it went by in a dizzying blur, and by the time 2016 rolled around I felt a bit disoriented. I almost felt hung over from 2015- I…

Happy New Year Friends! What an action-packed, fun-filled, wonder-full year we had! Its hard to believe my camera traveled to 11 US States this year and 2 Canadian Provinces. Lots of laughs, a few tears, but many, many amazing memories made. I treasure each and every session I was able to be a part of. Get…

    I am still here.:) I enjoyed everyone of your shots. My fave that really grabbed my attention and made me hold my breath for a sec. was the first prego/sib. Black and white. The reason is her eyes and you did an amazing job of capturing a very beautiful and timeless shot of the two. It truly reminded me of Dorothy a Lang e’s work during the depression. It was not simply the black and white but more so the emotion you captured in the image her face said so little and so much at the same time. Amazing stuff and you should feel so proud of the work you do. I only wish I had your talent. You know how to “shape” and create that meaningful backdrop and you know what most can’t do, you know lighting. I know that feeling a smidge as far as that passion for photography and while I don’t truly know the camera I do love snapping away. Here’s to 2014 and more great pics.ReplyCancel

    Wow! Thank you so much for such a beautiful heart felt comment Shawna! I am truly touched! Hugs to you! Happy 2014!!ReplyCancel

  • SheriJanuary 4, 2014 - 10:12 pm

    Michelle, you are SO amazingly talented. These moments that you captured are absolutely beautiful.ReplyCancel

  • Miranda PJanuary 5, 2014 - 2:13 pm

    The woman lying in the flower field. Your work with children and young families is always fabulous, but this one touched me because it captures a mature woman being playful. There is so much joy and beauty in her face!ReplyCancel

  • MaryJanuary 5, 2014 - 7:59 pm

    Wow! Your work is so impressive and I agree with one of the comments above, you really know lighting! They’re all beautiful, but I especially like the ones of a mother and her son playing and laughing. Those combined with the video that you feature show that you capture the essence of who the families are and really capture their personalities!! Truly I was drawn to your photos, then I see you’re based in RI and CA and work in several areas close to my heart! (Ventura County is where I grew up and Ojai is where I eventually plan to make my way back to!) Currently living in SE Mass an work in Newport, so I can very much relate to the places you love to shoot! I wish you much success in 2014!ReplyCancel
