Don’t blink! Things are changing, but sometimes change can be great. If you’ve been watching what’s been happening with the blog and the website over the years, you’ve probably seen plenty of updates and brand-new ideas, content, and inspiration to get you excited about planning your senior portrait session!
Earlier this year I decided it was time for a refresh again. I wanted my seniors and parents to be able to easily access all the information to make planning your senior portraits easier. Now, the Magical Memories by Michelle that you know and love has revealed a shiny new website that’s even more user-friendly and full of refreshing new tips and tricks to help you look and feel your best for your photo shoot.

Here’s What’s New
1. Updated Blog Posts
I’m proud to show off every session…because every session at Magical Memories by Michelle is unique and individual. Blog posts are intended to show off session highlights, boost morale, and share inspiring ideas for new client sessions. You won’t want to miss a beat because we do something different during every session. We’re spontaneous, so spur-of-the-moment ideas often pop up in blog posts, and they’ll give you plenty of ideas for your very own session planning. In addition to specific sessions, blogs focus on tips and tricks to make your big day the very best it can be. Plus, they’re full of images, outfits, and accessory ideas that will help your outfits pop! So if you’re looking for up-to-date ideas and want to stay current with the latest at Magical Memories by Michelle, be sure to click on the Blog tab often to see what’s been rocking the senior photography scene.

2. Help Getting Started
Photography isn’t my side gig. That means you’ll never have a hard time getting in touch with me, and you won’t be meeting me for the first time at your photo session. We’ll meet WAY before that to make sure we’re a good fit for each other and so that you can share your ideas with me! After all, the more I know about what you expect out of your senior pics, the better I’ll be able to deliver exactly what it is you’re looking for. Building trust BEFORE the big day is key, and when we get to know each other, you’ll feel more comfortable smiling and twirling in front of the camera I’m holding!
My job is to make sure your senior pictures are unique, so there’ll never be a boring moment during your session. You’ll never feel rushed, and when it’s all said and done, the thing that puts the biggest smile on my face is seeing how much you fall in love with your senior photos! Not only is your senior photo shoot a memorable day, but the professional photos we create together will be keepsakes you and your family will treasure forever.

3. Extended Product Line
I’ve never been a digital-files-only photographer, and there’s a good reason for that. How many zip drives have you tossed into your kitchen junk drawer…only to forget what’s even on them? Exactly.
Digital photos are a great way to back up your precious images, but I love it when clients have the perfect place in their home for a special piece of photo art we’ve created. As a photographer, it’s heartbreaking to hear that many photos are merely left on digital drives and never displayed, and that’s why I work diligently to vet out new and on-trend photo artwork that will look beautiful in your home and show off your graduate in stunning style! Whether you want large prints for a blank wall, a tasteful metal print for the mantel, or a keepsake box that holds a collection of prints, let’s choose your favorites and ensure you get printed, tangible keepsakes of your milestone moment.

4. Flexible Sessions
I’m a Gemini, so I’ll go ahead and admit things will probably change again…because that’s what we do. But here’s the thing, I do it all with my clients in mind!
The session variety I offer is designed with YOU in mind, so whether you want a professional shoot that goes from day to night, multiple outfits with several different looks, or an abbreviated version of the same great just-for-you moments, let’s talk. With my newly expanded photo package offerings, you’re sure to find the one that’s right for you!
Bottom line: I love what I do, and I’ll always be looking out for my clients!
5. Irresistible Freebies
Everyone loves a freebie, but it’s even better if it’s a freebie that will help you look and feel your best on senior picture day, right? As you look through my updated website, you’ll notice brand-new ways to prep for your individual photo shoot–with plenty of doable tips & tricks you’ll love to try!
Forget about those next-to-impossible video tutorials we’ve all experimented with! Those can take tons of time and still end up in near-disaster! No way. What I’m giving you are plenty of usable, easy-to-complete ideas that will help you with everything from makeup tips to picking out the perfect outfits to getting your perfect glow on!
The Cap & Gown Style Guide is just one of many FREEBIES you’ll get as a client. It’s full of creative ideas for girls and guys who are excited to show off their big accomplishment. When it’s time to pose in your cap & gown, it can be tough to come up with outside-the-box ideas. This guide offers plenty of inspiration like fun poses with your future college tee, modern twists on the mortarboard toss, and more!
