I'm Michelle
Because you shouldn’t have to choose just one moment to remember, this is your way to hold on to the whole story.
Because some moments are meant to be seen as they unfold, movement, emotion, and the beauty of this season, just as it was.

I’m beyond thrilled and deeply humbled to share that I was recently featured on Voyage Raleigh in their Daily Inspiration series! My interview highlights my journey as a Raleigh photographer and entrepreneur, and it’s an honor I’ll never forget
Being recognized by Voyage Raleigh, a platform dedicated to showcasing local creatives and inspirational stories, is truly special. Their mission to elevate authentic voices aligns perfectly with my work as a newborn and family photographer in Raleigh.
In the interview, I share how my love for photography started long before my business began. From holding a Polaroid as a child to turning that early passion into a thriving career years later, my journey as a professional Raleigh photographer has been full of lessons, growth, and joy.
Every session allows me to capture meaningful moments for families and individuals, preserving memories they will treasure forever. My focus on family photography and lifestyle photography in Raleigh ensures each session is personal, authentic, and timeless.
Being featured among so many incredible local creatives on Voyage Raleigh is humbling and motivating. It reinforces why I do this work. My goal is to capture the beauty of motherhood, meaningful connections, and these sacred days of childhood that go by way too fast.
This recognition inspires me to continue growing as an inspirational photographer, creating images that tell stories and bring so much joy to families and clients.
