The day is finally here! Ryan and Jeanne got hitched! This will go down as one of the most memorable weddings I covered in the history of my photography business. Why? Because it’s my Coochikoo’s wedding! That’s an inside joke by the way. Ryan and I go way back, like since before we both JUST […]

One of my favorite families are back for a fall family session! I’ve photographed little Noah’s newborn session and I can’t believe how big he is now! It was such a perfect time to take fall photos with all the colorful leaves in the background. We had so much fun throwing leaves around and that […]

We’re in Las Vegas once more! We love this city. Not for the casinos and not-so-wholesome shows. There’s just always something to do – shows, food, clubs, bars, canyons, fancy hotels and many more. For every year that we visit, there’s almost always something new that we do. We’re in Vegas for Ryan & Jeanne’s […]

As I’ve mentioned time and time again, I LOVE my repeat clients! I’ve been photographing this family way before Joe and Vinvia got married. They were one of my “practice couples” that I shot when I was still building my portfolio. I’ve photographed their engagement session, maternity session and newborn session. Technically, I also had […]

WE LOVE THIS FAMILY. Like, we wish we’re part of it, literally. My husband, Erick, went to church at Faith Alliance Bible Church (FABC) with both Jason and Pola. Erick and Jason had so much history together. Jason’s parents are actually our Ninong and Ninang (Sponsors) at our wedding. Although they both went separate ways, […]

We decided to stop by and visit some friends in Phoenix, Arizona for a few days before heading out to cover our last wedding of 2019 in Las Vegas. Meet the Livin Family! I met Kristy in pharmacy school. Although we didn’t interact much the 1st three years, we really got to know each other […]

Faith & Francis’ paths have crossed a long time ago in the Philippines. They even walked together on their 6th grade graduation ceremony. No, they weren’t even friends. But somehow, they have photographs together. Several years later, they were living separate lives in the US – Faith in Illinois and Francis in California. Through the […]

There’s always a special place in my heart for Chicago Botanic Garden. I used to frequent this place when I was younger. Moreover, I had always enjoyed taking photos here whether it was with me and Erick or with my cousins. When Edelissa, one of our Spring clients (Blog Post HERE), inquired another time for […]

Here’s a senior session at Frame Park in Waukesha I’m so proud of! Sydney is our previous client’s younger sister (Aubrey). Their mother, Jamie, works with my husband, Erick, and has been very supportive of our photography business for years now. When she reached out to us despite our move to Illinois, we didn’t hesitate […]

I can’t believe Jade’s already a senior in high school! It seems that it wasn’t that long ago since I took her sister’s senior portrait session when I was just starting out. I’ve been photographing this family and her cousin’s family ever since I’ve been building up my portfolio. It always warms my heart when […]

Meet MICHELLE

chicago-based
photographer

What started as a childhood hobby evolved into a great passion. Hours after I got engaged, I browsed through dozens of wedding photographers' portfolios and realized I was looking at my dream job. I fell in love with the idea of telling people's stories in images rather than words. It is my utmost goal to make you look back at these memories we create together as if you're experiencing these moments again, nostalgic yet exquisite.

I'm Michelle
