Here’s a small piece of my story. I could never actually write my whole story in one paragraph so

Feel free to message me to connect or if you have any questions! 

hi friends. i’m excited you’re here 

I’m Michelle, a photographer and visual artist that specializes in outdoor, landscape and brand photography. I love to create images through visual story telling in a way that feels both relatable and inspiring.

I’ve lived in a self converted 1988 GMC Vandura named Carl since January of 2019. After graduating with my Masters in Business in 2014, I started my career with the typical desk job. Shortly after realizing that wasn’t for me, I made it my mission to find my passion. I focused on who I wanted to be rather than what I had done in the past. I wrote a list of everything I was interested in and started working towards a new life.

I worked in hospitality at various restaurants and hotels, got my Real Estate license and was a Realtor for 2 years, was an Auditor - auditing captive insurance companies, had an Etsy where I made home decor and wooden shelves, drove golf carts around music festivals as a taxicab and a few more I’m probably forgetting about. It wasn’t until I was 26 that I started photography but was completely hooked. I wanted to pursue destination wedding photography so I built out a van to drive across the company to build my portfolio. I started documenting my journey and now do photography and content creation full time!

I hope to inspire others to look for their passion, to not be afraid of change and to find happiness in exploring.
