You deserve to feel empowered
and worthy every day!
these photos will remind you of that!

Hey friend! I’m Michele
I’m a popcorn loving, bright lipstick wearing, chronic optimist, dedicated to showing people see their awesomeness through the art of photography! People say my energy is contagious, and that my quirky sense of humour puts them at ease. My insatiable curiosity IS my superpower, I just LOVE asking questions! I truly believe to create scroll stopping images that will create connection and start conversations I need to know YOU. The more questions asked, the more creative solutions we can come up with to make you magnetic! The results will attract the people and energy you want in your life and business, and who doesn’t want that?! Move over random people on Pinterest, it’s time for YOU to be on YOUR dream vision board!
MY PROMISE TO YOU
Together we will co-create on brand photos that you will be absolutely obsessed with.
I will empower you to feel confident on camera to tell your brand story with purpose and pride. This energy will stay with you long after your shoot, giving you a new found connection to yourself and your business. I want to ensure your photos are drenched in your personality, showing your passion for what you do.
I will guide you through a planning process to ensure we nail your brand message through the images we create together. You will be supported with location ideas, what to wear, and directed from head to toe to look and feel your best on camera.
You will walk away with more than just photos. You will have a boost in confidence and be filled with excitement to share the work you do. Most importantly you will exist in time, your photos will tell your story and show the world the freaking amazing human that you are!

DO YOU BELIEVE IN...

PERSONALITY
Don’t get me wrong, I love a good quote card now and again. And stock images? They have their place in the world. But if you’re hiding behind them in your business, it’s time we had a chat! I know you put your clients first, so maybe you’re nervous to make it a little bit more about you. But trust me, you won’t regret it! Now more than ever, people want to #MeetTheMaker and connect with the humans behind the brands they support.

CONNECTION
Putting more of you into your business can be nerve-wracking, I get that! But let me tell you, it’s worth it (and if I’m honest, nowadays it’s 100% necessary). Brand photography lets you build that connection with your audience in a way that’s professional but still inviting. And relating to your audience will make them so much more loyal to you.

RESULTS
Your business needs content that’s personal, reaches your ideal clients, and converts. And those iPhone shots? They just don’t cut it anymore (not even the ones you took on portrait mode). On-brand images make it easy to create content that lets your audience in on what you’re doing and who you are. Plus, if you start the conversation, they’ll join in, giving you invaluable insight into what they want from you.
PERFECT, SO DO I!
AND THESE ARE THE CORE ELEMENTS THAT MY PHOTO EXPERIENCES ARE BASED ON
