About Michelle
I first became interested in photography from the camera episode of Elmo's world on Sesame Street! I've loved photography my whole life. This truly is my dream job.
Strawberry Margarita on the rocks. Always.
I danced for 15 years. Tap was my favorite!
Fast Facts
I have an Associates of Fine Arts Degree in Photography and a Certificate of Art and Design, Photography.
I'm in Real Estate. I've been a Real Estate photographer since 2020 and became a licensed agent May 2022!
When I was growing up, my siblings and I would each get our own disposable cameras to play with. I always looked forward to getting them. I received my first digital camera when I was 11... that little Kodak EasyShare went with me everywhere. I eventually grew into DSLRs and now here we are!
Being a photographer has lead me to so many incredible people and opportunities. I can't wait to see where this field takes me next, and I hope to see you along the way!
I went to college for photography and have dabbled in an array of fields (will always love my Warped Tour Photographers Pit era).
I was a dancer for 15 years until injuries ended my dancing career. I love being connected to the art through local dancers and studios, having spent 22 years both as a dancer and photographer with my home studio. I've been able to photograph dancers from the New York City Ballet, The Royal Ballet, Dutch National Ballet, and so many others!
