ABOUT
I'M MICHELE. PHOTOGRAPHER, PROFESSIONAL HYPE GIRL, OCCASIONAL BAD INFLUENCE.
I photograph women for a living.
Which is basically the best job
in the fucking world.
I've spent more than a decade photographing women, and somewhere along the way I've learned a few things- good light is everything, confidence doesn't have to come first, and a strategically placed wedgie can work actual miracles.
I'm Michele. Photographer, wife, mom, professional overthinker, and the girl who's going to tell you exactly where to put your hands, what to do with your face, and how to give yourself the best wedgie to show off more of those cheeks.
You don't need to know how to pose. You don't need to walk in feeling confident. And you definitely don't need to “get in shape first.”
I'm your guru when it comes to poppin'. So let me pamper the hell out of you and show you everything you need to know.
And don't be surprised when the girl who wasn't sure she'd know what to do with these photos is suddenly blowing up the group chat with them.
...I'm talking about you.
Good light > Good angles
Coffee counts as hydration
Dark rooms make better photos
Perfect is boring.
Life’s too short. Order dessert.
German Shepherds are the best.

We came home with hundreds of photos from that trip. People told us we should do this for a living, which was wild, considering I barely knew how to focus my camera.
We started shooting weddings for dirt cheap, learned as we went, and then one bride asked, “Do you shoot boudoir?”
Nope. But I told her I was down to try.
In 2017, my husband graduated medical school (he's an ER doc) and I decided to open up a full-time boudoir studio.
And I haven't looked back.
and I got pretty damn good at it, too.
That was 2011.
Nearly a thousand sessions later, turns out I CAN focus my camera...
