Capturing your story, preserving your memories.
Hi there! I'm Michelle, a passionate wedding and portrait photographer, and I'm thrilled to have you here. My specialty is capturing the magic of weddings in the beautiful NC mountains - from Hickory to Boone, Blowing Rock, Banner Elk, and beyond. If you're planning a destination wedding or elopement, I'd love to work with you to capture your special day.
I'm an award-winning photographer with a relaxed and timeless style. I believe that your smiles and glances on your wedding day are priceless, especially with your friends and family surrounding you. The laughs, the tears of joy, and the fun! Additionally, I love capturing the growth of your babies into children and young adults. My goal is to preserve your memories with attention and care, so your photographs can tell your story for generations to come.
I also enjoy working with businesses to capture photos that enhance their brand and image. Let's plan and chat about your specific photography needs.
About Michelle
Hey, hey! What can I tell you about me that's short and sweet? I'm a wife and a mom with a love of photography. Capturing my boys created this path for me. I've cultivated my business for 11 years, and there has been joy, sweat, and tears along the way. I'm a light-loving lady with the technical and artistic skills to freeze emotion and time. A graduate of Appalachian State University, I'm most at home outdoors. My husband and my three boys are my world. We live in the country outside of Lenoir, NC, with our two dogs and are currently renovating our home top to bottom, including two additions.
I'm a lifelong learner, determined, level-headed, an achiever, and a believer in good. I think LOVE is EVERYTHING. I'm sensitive, witty, kind, loving, creative, and strong. The beach and the sun give me all the warm feelings. Spin class is where I get my head in the game. Documenting moments and creating photos that capture real personality are my favorite. I feel lucky to do this job and take it very seriously.
My Photography Style and Services
My style can be described as bright, rich, bold, and classic. I strive to provide an excellent, full-service experience for clients. My approach is natural documentation with gentle guidance to produce organic images. Whether you're planning a wedding, elopement, or need portraits for your family, I'm here to guide you through planning and photography timelines.
For weddings and elopements, we will schedule an initial phone or in-person consult after your inquiry. From there, you'll be provided materials to help with any questions. I'll be available all along the way and can help with vendor referrals for your day upon booking. After you've said "I do" and celebrated with your loved ones, you will have beautiful photographs to bring all those memories flooding back. Time and time again.
For portraits, I offer a variety of sessions including baby, bridal, child, commercial, engagement, event, family, maternity, newborn, personal, photography, senior, and wedding. I will work with you to capture your unique personality and style, preserving your memories for years to come.
Awards and Recognition
I'm a proud member of High South Event Professionals, and my work has been featured in their print magazine several times as well as the High Country Wedding Guide. It has been an honor to be published on Rustic Wedding Chic, Simply Elope, and Seniorologie. Additionally, I've been recognized with creativity awards through Clickin Moms.
Thank you for taking the time to get to know me and my photography business. I look forward to working with you and capturing your special moments!
