How many of you still talk to your grade school friends? Do you even know their full names? Are you at least Facebook friends? Do you follow them on Snapchat or Instagram? Be honest. Why do I ask these questions, you say. Well, we covered a wedding recently wherein the most impressive thing that put […]

Wedding season is on full blast and we couldn’t be more excited to serve our wonderful couples. It’s that time of the year where we are amazed by the details, inspired by DIYs, mesmerized by wedding dresses and melted by newlyweds deeply in love. To keep this excitement going, we would like to share this […]

An invitation for Lan & Marty’s wedding came in the mail. I opened it and had a huge smile on my face out of excitement. Two precious people in my life finally picked a date for their wedding (after 3 years of engagement!). Besides that, they said it’s a Great Gatsby-themed wedding at Hotel Allegro […]

Here she is! We just took Stephanie, Sam and Simi’s family maternity session at the Lincoln Park Conservatory a little over a month ago. And now, Baby Sydney is finally here! I’ve been photographing this family since Baby Simi was still on her Momma’s belly. It’s such a privilege to see a beautiful family grow […]

“You can go get her now”, said the officiant to Jake. Jake quickly walked towards Rachel, being escorted by her father. He released a big nervous sigh. He gave Rachel’s father a hug and put his right hand to cover eyes, trying to make sense of the overwhelming emotions he’s having, as he took his […]

A couple of months ago, we had a pleasure of taking Joy and Vincent’s maternity photos, not knowing whether they will welcome a princess or a prince. Several weeks later, Baby Amelia came into this world. We’re so happy to be able to take their Family Lifestyle Newborn Session at their cozy home. Her nursery […]

I’ve been photographing this beautiful family since Simi was still inside the belly. I’ve known Sam and Stephanie since grad school and it’s such an honor to witness a lot of milestones in their relationship. I was there when they said their I do’s. Shortly thereafter, I got to see them buy their 1st house […]

This is one honest blog entry of what a family session may turn out like. Jim and Tiffany just got done posing for us, for hours, for a beautiful project we came up with. (You probably have seen some of those teasers!). Tiffany’s parents dropped off Lucas and Riley, Tiffany and Jim’s beautiful kids, so […]

It was so hard NOT to smile, and bust out laughing, while processing these photos. Jon and Suzie cracked us up the entire session. From the day we sat down for a consultation, they made it known they don’t really take a lot of photos. They were probably anxious about their engagement session. To be […]

Two very simple human beings come together to create a beautiful union. That’s Genna and Chris. No need for glamour. No need for lavish places. Their connection is all that was needed. Naga-waukee Park was the perfect location for their engagement session. It had something in every corner that would make such a romantic date […]

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
