I scoured the Internet and read so many reviews for a good photographer in Hawaii for my wedding and Chinese banquet. Michelle was so bright and kind throughout the whole process! I appreciate her responsiveness via email and willingness to work with my budget. She returned the whole wedding gallery in less than two months and the website was easy to work with and download photos from. My husband even ripped his pants towards the end and she so kindly photoshopped that out!! I highly recommend her services! read more

Michelle was the photographer for our 12/13/2025 wedding and we are so glad to have worked with her - it was an amazing experience and I completely recommend her! She was incredibly professional, very responsive, and extremely friendly. She also gave great advice regarding optimal backdrops for the photos. The initial unedited pictures were upfront beautiful and the final product was breathtaking. She caught amazing candid pictures throughout the event and did an awesome job directing the group photos (ie imagine posing a large group composed of both elderly grandparents and 4 year-old grandchildren). She was so polite in helping people position themselves for the picture, while also making them feel very comfortable throughout the process. After our wedding, I realized that I had not taken a single photo and was 100% grateful to have Michelle capture our wedding - she did an outstanding job. I cannot fathom how our wedding gallery at the end had such a wide variety of photos, yet she somehow moved seamlessly throughout the event. Overall, I highly recommend Michelle and would definitely work with her again for my own future photoshoot events! read more

I was the maid of honor in a wedding last year and Michelle was the photographer, she brought a much needed calming and cherry attitude to that special day! She knew everything about the wedding industry and was able to give us helpful sound advice and save the couple so much money! It was like having a wedding planner and photographer all in one. She worked well with everyone and her work is unparalleled in Albuquerque. It's obvious after seeing her work why she has worked with so many celebrities and big brands.

I was so happy with my first booking for professional headshots and business photography that I inquired more with Michelle and booked a second session where she ended up doing graduation photography for a small group of friends of mine. Her portfolio speaks for itself and her ability to be so versatile between event photography and professionally shots as well as candids and fashion photography made me so happy with her service. I would definitely refer to any friends of mine for everything from graduations, weddings and parties, portraits, large scale events and action shots. She can do it all! read more

We cannot say enough good things about Michelle and the engagement photography service she provided. My fiancé and I are the type of couple who are not use to taking professional photos so we needed a ton of direction on how and where to pose and she did exactly that. She made us feel really comfortable even when we felt silly. We saw an unedited sneak speak of some of the photos and we were already impressed. We can't wait to see the final photos. We highly recommend Michelle to anyone who is interested in having an engagement shoot at Kualoa Regional Park. read more

Michelle is an absolute professional who provides top tier quality. I had a work event that I needed professional photos for. I didn't want to just show up to some photo box, I wanted to know I was getting the best. Through friend referrals, I was guided to work with Michelle. Even though I was stressing because I had no idea what I needed, she guided me through everything with ease. Low stress. High quality. Thanks! read more

Michelle is the absolute best! She took my senior pictures and they came out amazing. I highly recommend her, she is so patient and easy to work with! read more

Michelle is incredible, I highly highly recommend her. She knows how to make you feel comfortable and takes the time to understand what you want. I took my senior grad pictures with her and I was very happy with how they came out. I had brought a picture frame of my family since they were such a huge part of motivating me throughout my college experience, and remember how thoughtful Michelle was in making sure that I got the picture as I envisioned I wanted it. read more

Enthusiastic, warm, encouraging, and creative: Michelle Chan connects with individuals of all ages and personalities and helps them to genuinely glow. Throughout the weeks before my grad photo session with Michelle, I saw a lot of grad photos posted all over Facebook and Instagram, and I was a little nervous because I didn't know whether I could look as good without copying what everyone else was doing. Michelle gave me so many fresh ideas and she worked some real magic with her editing. I cannot thank her enough for capturing photos of a day that meant so much to me and to my family. Although she took graduation photos for so many seniors at my university, each person's photos were unique - which is truly impressive because my university campus is really small and I can't think of that many places to take photos. Will absolutely turn to Michelle any time that I would like more photos, and I will recommend her to anyone in a heartbeat!! read more

To begin with, I did not really know what to expect. This was actually my first time hiring a photographer for my 21st birthday party. Michelle is uplifting and was very interactive with my friends and family when she was taking pictures. Her spirit totally encouraged my family members to keep asking her for my photos and I totally loved it. I totally recommend her and i promise you, you wont regret it. read more

Working with Michelle was great. She took my senior pictures, and she was really accommodating with my schedule changes and was so good at making me feel comfortable during the picture taking session as well.

The pictures also turned out great, and she is so passionate about photography--I don't think you could go wrong if you worked with Michelle. read more

Michelle took my senior portraits last year. I was skeptical about having portraits taken but Michelle did a flawless job. Right off the bat she engaged me so that I felt much more relaxed and eager to communicate what I liked and didn't like. She struck a very professional and productive balance between offering her own insights and working with my requests. She was also very easy to communicate with when she was editing and sending the photos to me. The product was exactly what I had hoped for and the photos are definitely one of my best and favorite investments to date. read more

Michelle took my college senior photos and did an exceptional job. She made the entire process seamless with her bubbly attitude and commitment to fitting me into her schedule (on late notice, too). I would recommend her to anyone, especially those who consider themselves camera shy - she has a way of making you feel comfortable, even when the lens is up close. The beautiful pictures she took captured a special time in my life and remain some of my most precious possessions. Go to Michelle to get pictures done for any/all occasions - you'll be glad you did! read more

Michelle took my concert recital photos and my senior photos, and all of them turned out amazing!

She also spends a lot of time and effort editing the photos afterwards, and it shows! Every photo is unique in its own way and absolutely beautiful. read more
