ABOUT
I'm Michelle
but my friends call me Mish
With so many photographers to choose from, why choose me?
Photographs are truly priceless to me. Now that my kids are grown, I love seeing a slideshow of memories on my Google display. It brings me so much joy to relive those moments. Life moves fast, but the ability to freeze a moment in time is something I deeply treasure.
I specialize in “posed candids” that capture your authentic self. My goal is to provide you with images that not only bring out your best but will also be cherished for years to come.
Let me help you create beautiful, lasting memories!

WHAT TO WEAR
Most people think that for a professional photo shoot, you have to go out and buy identical outfits. But that’s the WORST thing you can do! I put together a guide that will assist you with matching clothing for your shoot. It’s only there to inspire you to come up with your own ideas. Think paint color pallets. Shades don’t have to be exact, but in the same family. Choose complimentary colors. Don’t forget accessories to pull it all together – like scarves, hats and jewelry that pull out subtle colors. Have fun and be creative! I’d be happy to discuss options over the phone prior to your session if you would like.
Tips for shooting outdoors
Keep in mind the natural scenery. Don’t compete with your background.
Relax! Have a good time being a model for a day.
Dress comfortably, bring comfortable shoes for walking – you will be outdoors!
Tips for shooting indoors
Roughly a 10×12 space will be needed.
Use your natural home settings if space is limited.
Backdrops look best for smaller groups of 4 or less.
QUESTIONS?
Pricing starts at $125, and includes all digital files from your session. I do offer optional add-ons. While they aren’t required, I promise that the products are beautiful, and will last you a lifetime. The prices for these add-ons vary between $100-$350.
When you book a session, you pay a $25 deposit. The balance is due at your reveal and ordering appointment. If you purchase any optional add-ons, you would also pay for those at the same time.
You can pay cash, check, credit card, PayPal, Zelle, or Venmo. You can also make payment arrangements over a 1-3 month period, but your order will not be placed until final payment is received.
Your session comes with all hi-resolution digital files.
I do! I have several professional labs that I work with. If you would like to purchase your own prints, I recommend mpix.com. Your session comes with a print release for any prints up to 8×10. Anything larger than that will have to be purchased through me. Ask me about my wall art products! You’ll love them!
Absolutely! In fact, I love that idea. Pets are part of the family, so they should be a part of it. In fact, make the most of your session. Bring your extended family, and their pets!
Yes. Sort of. I do posed candid shots. I’ll give you direction for posing, but then capture the natural movements in that moment.
I love black and white so I chose to feature those on my website, but I offer both sepia-toned black and white and color of each image.
Not at the moment as a standard inclusion of the photoshoot, but it can be arranged for an extra fee if requested. I’m always looking for a good hair and makeup artist to form a partnership!
Basic edits are included. I make every effort to remove minor imperfections. What you see at your reveal appointment is complete. Additional edits have an additional fee of $25 per edit.
On-Location sessions are within 10 miles of 15137. For locations over 10 miles, an additional travel fee is required – $50 per 10 miles. This can be added to your reservation.
Yes I do. Pricing depends on the extensiveness of each photos. I’d be happy to discuss this project with you!
