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.
Your baby grows from a fresh newborn snuggling on your chest to a wide-eyed wonder filled with curious, fearless abandon…and it happens in the blink of an eye. My passion is to preserve these memories. Remind you just how beautiful the little fleeting moments in life truly are. And to curate these images for you to cherish forever.
I take a very pure and organic approach to newborn photography with the use of natural lighting and soft neutral tones. I don’t use trendy props, or bright overpowering colors that will distract from the natural beauty of your baby.
My goal as a newborn photographer is to capture your newborn baby just as he or she is, pure and natural. Those sleepy yawns, teeny tiny toes, and perfect little details that define your new tiny miracle.
Baby Riya was blessed with a beautiful head of hair and an incredibly sweet and loving older brother, Rohan. At only two years old, Rohan was so gentle and sweet with his baby sister. The photos of the two of them just together just melt me! What a lucky little lady to be surrounded by so much love and adoration.
Welcome to the world sweet Riya.
