Meet Michelle

Baby whisperer. Memory catcher. Storyteller of your family’s magic.

Ever since having my own babies, I have realized even more how important family portraits are. They are only little for so long, and they change so quickly. It's so important to remember your family in the stage of life you are in right now.

I have had the absolute pleasure of photographing HUNDREDS of families (including many repeat clients over the years) in the last 10 years and have loved every second of it!

Whether you’re looking for a Greenville, South Carolina family photographer or newborn photographer, I would LOVE to serve you, so you can relive your most precious moments for generations to come through timeless, joyful, FUN photos and videos. I also offer a complimentary client closet for mamas and babies. You can check out my full client closet here.

I’m Michelle, a family, newborn, and maternity photographer and videographer based in Greenville, South Carolina. Family photography and videographer is truly my passion and my calling, and I am so grateful for each family I have the honor of working with. When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me hiking, gardening, and spending time with my husband and our daughters!

What families are saying:

  • Michelle is an incredibly talented photographer! I have countless great things to say about her. She makes everyone feel comfortable. I was dreading having to fake smile the entire session but that was quickly eased by her candid photos and natural pose instructions. She's also extremely patient and understanding with little ones. Her editing style is just what we were looking for, and no one can beat her turn around time in receiving the photos. We have booked 3 sessions with her so far and cannot wait for the next! 10/10 recommend!

  • We can't say enough good things about Michelle! She offers the highest value for her work, given the amazing quality of her photos and the price of her packages. Her turnaround time for delivering photos is truly unparalleled. She lives up to her promise of delivering photos quickly, as we got our photos back in 2 days! She spends personal time scouting out locations to make sure each shoot runs as smoothly as possible. We also appreciated her being flexible when we decided to change photo locations last minute. Not only is Michelle punctual and professional in person and via email, she is also incredibly personable and made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We absolutely LOVE all of photos she has already delivered to us and can't wait to have them printed. Michelle takes great care of her clients, and she was an absolute joy to work with!

  • Michelle is so incredibly talented! She captured the most beautiful photos of our family, even as we were juggling three rambunctious littles and a grumpy infant… I was absolutely in awe of how wonderful all of our pictures turned out! In addition to just being super talented, Michelle went above and beyond with how helpful and responsive she is. Her outfit and location guides were great, and she had our pictures back to us insanely quickly. Best experience ever!
