When you think about what will stay with you both for a lifetime, it's the moments you experienced, it's the photographs that decorate your home and that you gift to your family. And you need a professional to ensure that those moments are captured with efficiency, professionalism, light heartedness, and a connection to you.
I'm here so you have the photography of your dreams. You have a plan and a vision for your day and I want to help make that come true. It's important to have a photographer who will be your advocate and go above your expectations to deliver on those important, creative details and moments. Need a photographer for life's big events after the wedding? Look no further. As a married person and parent, I know that every day something magical is happening (in between diapers and thrown food on the floor and the dishes piled in the sink) and as your family grows and expands, you want those moments captured as well. I specialize in casual, lifestyle sessions that are fun for your family. Whether you're just beginning with a new puppy or wanting those first stages of parenthood captured, I'm here for whatever life brings you.
Thoughtful Photography for Every Stage of Life
FRequently Asked Questions
How long have you been photographing?
How long have you been photographing?
I went to college for photography, and took an internship with a local wedding photographer my senior year, to my surprise, I really enjoyed the experience and from there did a few family/friends weddings. In 2015, I decided to take this hobby to the next level and worked very hard to create the business I have today. In 2021, I finally was able to make photography my full time job and I am so thankful of the everyone that put their faith in me to get me to where I am today!
What is the turnaround time for our photos?
What is the turnaround time for our photos?
Our contract states that delivery time is estimated at 6-12 weeks after your wedding. Couples/Family sessions are delivered within 2 weeks. I edit all photos myself to ensure quality in delivery, which also means it may take a little longer for final delivery depending on what season is my busiest. I always will deliver sneak peaks within the first week of your wedding because I know you are excited and still over the moon and I want that feeling to last!
What if we’re uncomfortable with our photos being taken?
What if we’re uncomfortable with our photos being taken?
Do I know that feeling! Before our own engagement photos I was soooooo nervous! Being someone who is always behind the camera it was nerve wracking to switch spots and be in front. But, at the end of the day, being in a location I loved with my now husband and our pup, I look back on those photos so fondly because of how much fun we had together. I fully encourage my couples to take advantage of your options with an engagement session because this is the chance to be in a casual setting and have fun with your partner and get to know me! I am very laid back and I spend most of our session chatting with you both to help take your focus away from the big camera, and simply enjoy the moment!

Did someone say travel? I'm ready!
I travel throughout all of New England, primarily New Hampshire & Massachusetts. Travel fees are included in your package if your venue is 50 miles or less round trip from Hooksett, NH. Anything above 50 miles round trip will be billed as a separate item in your invoice at $0.75/mile. If your venue is over a 2 hour drive for me, then overnight accommodations will be discussed on a case by case basis. I am available for travel outside of New England.
Meet Michelle
Hi Friends! Usually hiding behind the camera, I'm here to help you showcase your special moments!
My favorite part of my job is getting to know you, your partner, and your family - what you like, what you do together, how you fell in love, in order to learn as much as I can about your story, and most importantly meeting and snuggling your dogs!!
I make sure to take that time to get to know you first, so that way, on the day of our shoot together, we both feel comfortable and together, we can take beautiful photographs that you're proud to share and hang on your walls.
Your New Hampshire Family Photographer
She was incredible at commanding the room, problem solving, and helping make decisions
Michelle was an absolute pleasure to work with. Her calming and gentle demeanor is just what you need in the planning process/chaos during the wedding weekend. Don’t let that fool you though, when game time comes she is ready to call the plays. She was incredible at holding people accountable to make sure we got what we wanted out of the day and the photography. She was willing to work within our budget and problem solve to make sure we stayed where we were comfortable. Highly recommend!

Michelle's style makes the true colors pop, not over-edited.
We LOVED working with Michelle!! She was extremely responsive, gave great suggestions, and meshed really well with our personalities and vision. We did our engagement session about 6 months before our wedding date, which gave us a chance to get to know each other. She made us both feel extremely comfortable which was so important. Her style and personality got along so well with my husband, which made it so easy! Our photos are the perfect capture of candid, silly, natural, and portrait which is exactly what we wanted. She made sure we had tons of gorgeous photos to relive our wedding day.
Michelle & Phil
Her calming energy put us at ease on a day that was full of lots of emotions, nerves, and excitement.
Michelle was one of the best choices we made for our wedding day. She is so professional, yet makes the day feel personal, and she knows exactly how to keep the day moving on time while capturing all the happiness. She made sure the whole formal photo process went quickly without feeling rushed. She got all pictures back to us in a timely manner and we have loved reliving our special day through her images. I would recommend her without hesitation and look forward to her capturing more memories of our family in the future!
Kerry & Brad
She captured every moment, big and small, so beautifully and authentically.
We could not have asked for a better wedding photographer. From the very beginning, Michelle was organized, thoughtful, and completely on top of every detail - which made our entire day feel effortless and stress-free. She guided all of our family and wedding party formals with total ease and planned the timeline so perfectly that we never once felt rushed. Beyond Michelle's incredible talent, her calm, supportive presence made the day even better. We are endlessly grateful and cannot recommend her highly enough.
