A session that feels easier than you expected
Michelle has worked as an Orlando family photographer for more than 15 years, and she knows how to guide families without making the session feel stiff, awkward or overproduced. We help with timing, light, location guidance, posing, kids, movement and the small details that make the whole experience feel calmer from start to finish.
Your kids do not have to act perfect, and you do not have to know what to do with your hands. The goal is relaxed direction, real interaction, clean editing and portraits that still feel like your family.

Kind Words
Trusted by families across Orlando, Disney resorts and Florida’s coast
We chose to use Michelle for our extended family photographs while on vacation in Florida. Michelle was such a pleasure to work with. She was punctual (early), communicative, easy going, and what really matters: the pictures are amazing! We’re having a tough time narrowing it down because there are so many amazing shots! Highly recommend.
Taylor & Jake
She engaged with our kids really well and captured amazing images of our family, which isn’t always easy to do with a toddler who doesn’t stop moving! We will definitely book with her again in the future!
Stephanie
One the best photographers I’ve ever dealt with. Not only are her pictures high quality and absolutely gorgeous, but the spirit she brings to the shoot is so joyful and relaxed. I have one kid who does NOT like taking pictures and yet, Michelle’s fun antics made it so she was able to capture the biggest smile ever from a tough customer.

Can you help us choose a location?
Yes. We'll help you choose one location that fits the look, light, comfort and goals of your session. The goal is not to rush between locations. The goal is to choose the right setting and make the most of it.
What is the best time of day for family photos in Florida?
Early morning and golden hour before sunset are usually best for outdoor family and beach sessions. Morning can be cooler, quieter and easier for young kids or vacation families. Studio sessions are more flexible.

How far in advance should we book?
Two to four weeks ahead is ideal for most sessions. Book earlier for holidays, school breaks, vacation weeks, extended family sessions and popular sunrise or sunset times.
What if my kids do not cooperate?
That is completely normal. Kids do not need to act perfect for the entire session. We use calm direction, movement, prompts and realistic pacing to keep the session moving without forcing stiff poses the whole time.
How do we book a session?
Start by sending an inquiry with your preferred date, session type and general location idea. We'll help with timing, location guidance and collection options. Once the session is selected, a $250 retainer reserves your date and you will receive planning guidance before the session.
