I live with my husband Bj and our four fur babies in Anchorage, Alaska where the mountains are literally in our backyard. I know' I know it probably sounds like we are running a zoo. And I'm sure I've got a pet hair or two on me right now as we speak.
4 years ago I traded out a life in combat boots and camouflage uniforms to shoot my first wedding. It's a day that I will never forget and one that completely changed my life. Before I knew it my dream of being a photographer turned into an idea and then the idea turned into this business you see today.
Outside of photography you can find me watching trash tv, jamming out to country music, or doing some kind of fun outdoorsy activity.
When you book with me you won't just get great photos. You'll also get someone who is invested in you and your story. And it all starts the moment you reach out.
I believe that providing an amazing service is all about going above and beyond whats listed in a package. It's about being one step ahead, seeing a need, and without hesitation finding a solution.
Whether it's answering a question you have, fluffing your dress or helping create a family shot list. I want you to know that I will be there for you from start to finish.
I have a dream that someday I'll trade out my house for a van and live a life out on the road. (Maybe even shoot a few adventure elopements along the way!) Just the thought of exploring and meeting new people gets me so excited. Where are all my fellow travel bugs at?!
I've visited to 24/50 of the states in the US
I met my husband Beljoe while serving in the Army we've been married for 3 years!
I have 4 fur babies, Three cats (Octavius, Sauce and Hatcher) and one dog (Ziva) our crazy high energy german Sheppard
I could eat sushi for breakfast, lunch, and dinner
I have watched Friends and Grey's Anatomy from start to finish at least 7 times
My husband and I absolutely loved the whole experience of taking photos with Michelle. She made us feel incredibly comfortable the whole time and she is a wonderful communicator! She made the whole experience so memorable for me and my husband. She is so genuine and kind! We are SO happy with our photos and we will definitely book with Michelle again in the future! The photos she took were truly a work of art and I love the compliments that we get when we show off our photos! Go book with Michelle!!! You will not regret it! ❤️

From the moment we got out of the car to meet Michelle she was so positive and bubbly! Both of us have never gotten photos taken like this before so it was out of our comfort zone, but she made it so easy. What was probably our favorite part about the time we spent together, was her presence. She truly is just a wholesome person. She really knew how to capture each moment and make the shots absolutely stunning! She is just a natural behind the camera, she is amazing at what she does. The photos turned out amazing and I have nothing but the highest praise for her and her work! We are definitely going to reach out to her in the summer for another session!
