Hi, I’m Michelle! Thanks so much for stopping by! I am a Cleveland area natural light, lifestyle photographer who specializes in newborns and families. I live in Aurora, Ohio with my husband, Scott, and my three beautiful girls, Genevieve, Gracelyn, and Gabrielle. As an artist, I’m inspired by gorgeous light, and I love finding beauty in simplicity and authentic emotion.  

I believe that photographing the story of your growing family is so incredibly special.

Every moment in a child’s life is precious, but as a mother myself, I know that those moments cannot last forever. I became a mommy through the gift of adoption three times, and when we met our oldest daughter just three days after she was born, I finally knew of the immense love that is spoken of when seeing your child for the first time. They become the center of your world, and every instance is one you want to remain in your heart forever. That joy and triumph are things that need to be celebrated and certainly preserved.

It’s a story that must be told.

I adore capturing raw and real moments of my clients with the ones they love most. Documenting their lives, unposed and perfectly imperfect, makes my heart happy because I know just how special those images will be to, one day, look back upon.  I photograph parenthood in all its grace – the crazy chaos and the beautiful, quiet moments in between.  

I love everything about families who cuddle and play as if I’m not even there. These are the moments that are true.

Your babies will only be this little once. Although I can’t keep your babies this small forever, I can make it possible for you to relive these moments through tangible photographs. These printed photographs will remind you of how perfectly your daughter fit into your arms or how your son’s face would light up the room when he shared his toothless grin. These photographs are proof of the most important and fulfilling gifts in your life that cannot ever be replaced.  Therefore, I want nothing more for you to fill your home with the images we created so they can be cherished and admired for years to come.

When you book a session with me, you’ll get my full attention in every aspect of planning your session.  We will plan color schemes, outfits, possible hair and makeup services, and anything else you envision. This is part of your story, after all…
