“Her passion turns into excitement and joy”

“Absolutely amazing! Honestly, I couldn’t have asked for anything more. She is wonderful at being able to bring out personality through a picture. She is incredibly talented and passionate. Michelle has been known to take a simple background, add some light, and work her magic to create the most amazing shot. She will teach you how to be confident in front of the camera and she is willing to bring your vision to fruition. She will 100% go all in to make sure she has the perfect angle. And she is always willing to try something new! I had Michelle take my college graduation pictures, and it was a fantastic experience. I usually hate pictures, but she managed to find a way to make it fun and exciting. Her passion turns into excitement and joy, and even though I know nothing about photography, I knew I could trust her. You won’t regret it!”

The kids LOVE her!!!

“I will be forever grateful!”

She named this business “Magical Memories by Michelle”, how fitting… Geesh, where do I start. I want parents to know the work done here is much more than this post can explain. Michelle took some of my ideas and transformed them into so much more than I asked for, more than my typed words could express here. Its more like she took an empty canvas, and placed all the emotions I have for my daughter, onto the surface. I will be forever grateful for her expertise, and attention to detail. To glance at these pics daily and have the same sense of aw every time, as if I’m seeing them for the first time, speaks volumes for me!!!

“Low Pressure and SO MUCH FUN!”

Please don’t let just anyone with a nice camera do your senior’s pictures! Michelle will exceed all your expectations, and truly capture your senior. It is so worth the investment, and she offers a tailored session with no time restrictions. Very low pressure, and SO MUCH FUN! This was a huge confidence boost to my self conscious daughter, and the session offered a welcome break from the pressures that accompany their senior year. You won’t get another chance for their senior pictures . . .make it count!
