THE PORTRAIT IS ONLY THE BEGINNING
Your photographs deserve a life beyond the screen.
Every portrait session is designed with the finished artwork in mind. Together, we’ll create pieces for your home, beautifully framed fine art portraits, gallery wall art, archival albums and prints meant to be held, displayed and eventually passed down.
You deserve more than average photos, you deserve timeless memories to showcase your family story. Session fee is $350 for the studio session. All products inlcuding digital files are purchased separately.
“Michelle has an incredible ability to make you feel comfortable in front of the camera. The entire experience felt effortless, personal and completely different from any photo session I’ve had before.

About Michelle
Family photographs were beautifully framed on the walls and albums lived on shelves in my home growing up. I had my own photo album as a child that I could hold in my hands and look through whenever I wanted. And I did this often! Those photographs quietly told me something: This is my family. This is where I come from. I belong here.
I'm a portrait photographer based in San Diego, California. After years of living in cities like San Francisco, Chicago and New York, I found my way home and today I photograph the people and relationships that make a life meaningful.
I've spent almost two decades photographing people, and my favorite part has always been the connection that happens on the other side of the camera. We laugh. We talk. We share stories. And somewhere along the way, we create something beautiful together.
There is nothing quite like watching someone see a portrait of themselve, or someone they love, and realize, That's us.
