Michelle is AMAZING! I have worked with her for several years for professional head shots and her level of service is unmatched. Her warm, sincere demeanor places her clients at ease and her photos always come out perfectly. She truly knows how to capture the best in each person. My friend also used Michelle for her wedding and the pictures were so candid, well lit and really captured the happiness of the occasion. Every photo I've ever seen her take has been fantastic. She treats each client as if they were a movie star- and everyone likes to be pampered from time to time. I can't recommend her enough!!!! read more

Michelle did the school pictures at my child's school this year. I wasn't expecting much, because they are school pictures. But they are amazing! She really has a gift for photographing children. My son didn't even give her the fake-ass camera smile that he does to me all the time now... read more

If you are looking for a photographer, LOOK NO FURTHER! You will have a blast working with Michelle, and she will capture the most amazing memories that you will cherish for a lifetime! I only have great things to say about her.Where do I begin...One month into my engagement we hired Michelle to shoot our big day. The first time I spoke to her on the phone, I felt like she was an old friend. She immediately gave me guidance and advice not only about photography, but also about planning, hair, makeup, etc. I could do nothing, but hug her the first time we met in person.Our first meeting was amazing, and Michelle made me feel so comfortable in her studio. Michelle went over our package, photos, itinerary, and so much more.On my bridal portrait day, I was a little nervous to shoot. I'd never had a spotlight on me. Michelle busted out a bottle of champagne, and made me feel at ease. She also provided the best direction to capture beautiful photos. I love my bridal portraits! We shot at Laguna Gloria in Austin, and the photos were absolutely gorgeous!Our rehearsal dinner...I never thought about having a professional photographer shoot our rehearsal, but when I tossed out the idea to Michelle, she jumped right on board! The price she quoted was great, and she was able to warm up my family and friends to the camera. My fiancé has a really hard time taking pictures, and Michelle made him feel right at home. One of the best shots she took, was when she climbed up a rock clif in heels to get a photo from above where we were standing. I laugh every time I think of this. Michelle had to jump on an old truck and almost fell climbing to capture this moment. Michelle will do anything to for a creative photo. Some of the best photos were taken this night!Our wedding day...Michelle showed up to our venue early, ready to shoot! As I was getting ready, I noticed her handing out cards to all the parents. In my mind I thought, wait a second, we should be giving her a card. The cards she was handing out had pictures from the rehearsal dinner that captured photos with the entire family. She also surprised me with portrait sized photos to display during our cocktail hour. Seeing them for the first time made me cry. Michelle's an animal, how did she have time to put this together?More wedding day...just a few hiccups...I know things can go wrong like the wedding cake almost falling over due to Texas heat, and the dj not playing the right song when your mom walks down the aisle, but Michelle helped calm me down when things weren't 100%. Some of the most perfect moments was Michelle shooting my wedding, and the food that was served by Susan at Austin Catering. This past year I've been in two weddings, and the brides were so upset after seeing their pictures. I felt terrible for them. The photos from my wedding are breathtaking, creative, tear jerking, hilarious, and absolutely perfect! Michelle is so talented, and down for the entire ride! I never heard one complaint, and I have none to give! One of the best photos Michelle took was in our hotel when the wedding was over. Michelle was probably bushed, but she's so dedicated and passionate about her work. She drove all the way to our hotel to shoot a picture that she had taken from another wedding. When I saw this picture I had to have it! Michelle took a picture of my husband and me jumping on the bed throwing rose pedals in the air. It's an amazing shot! (this should be your signiture photo) Thank you Michelle for being so patient with us when we were feeling so good after our wedding! Thank you as well for the thank you cards you had made for us highlighting this photo. I love them!One day after the wedding Jeff and I left for our honeymoon. A week later, when I was able to use my phone again, I jumped right on Facebook to see if anyone posted any pictures. The first thing I saw was a slide show with an artistic touch from Michelle. She had already shared the entire wedding with my friends and family. As I picked up my bags, my husband and I were able to see the best snapshot of our big day. What a treat!If you are looking for a photographer, I wouldn't hire anyone else. I've been in 6 weddings and have never experienced a more professional, flexible, passionate, and caring person like Michelle. I can't wait to have kids one day so she can shoot them as well. I'm sorry I wrote a novel, but Michelle is worth every word! Thank you Michelle for providing us with the most beautiful memories a girl could ever wish for! read more

Ok, so I know I'm super picky when it comes to photographers--just to get that out there. I think I see flaws and details that some people don't--it's a blessing and a curse. Anyway, I have dealt with several wonderful photographers all the years I lived in Dallas, and have some of the most beautiful portraits on my walls to show for it. Let's face it, the photographer makes all the difference in the mood and general overall beauty of the image. When I moved to Austin I knew no photographers--then we heard about Michelle.....well, she photographed my daughter's bridal portrait as well as her wedding and the pictures were totally amazing, absolutely beautiful. There were so many good ones we agonized for days (and nights) just trying to narrow them down for her "official bridal portrait". We settled on four. Yes, four. Couldn't get it down to one. One of my favorites is a beautiful black and white, outdoors, with the bride walking down a curving walkway with plants and trees framing the shot. It is ethereal and still to this day gives me goose bumps just looking at it. I have a son in California who is a producer--when they were shooting in Austin and chose a few homes for their indoor shots, they chose my house. When their cinematographer saw that particular portrait, he just stopped and stared at it, finally saying that it was one of the most beautiful things he had ever seen. Since that beautiful wedding we have had Michelle do shoots for my sons in full regalia kilts at the gorgeous Laguna Gloria, and several family Christmas pictures, plus one newborn session which turned out absolutely adorable. She is our official family photographer now and she never disappoints--she is always consistently good and I highly recommend her for any type of photography--she does it all, and extremely well. I am very grateful that she has captured our memories in such a beautiful way. She is truly a gifted artist and fun to work with as well! It doesn't get any better than this! read more

We can't thank you enough for capturing our wedding day as well as you did. We got home from the honeymoon and just sat by our computer completely mesmerized by all the beautiful photos and slide show that you had so quickly put together online. It was like for that brief moment we were reliving the wedding all over again. From the first moment we met you we knew that you would be the perfect photographer for us. Your fun/ outgoing attitude combined with professionalism and just raw talent are what drew us in. You managed to take pictures of everything while being in the way of nothing. And these aren't just normal pictures. The lighting... the angles... the style. It's all something we thought only the "stars" could have.... but that's what makes you great... you made us "stars" on our wedding day, and we thank you for that. We recommend you to anyone who is prepared for their special day. I can't begin to tell you the compliments that we get all the time on the wedding photos. I have to say myself these are some of the best photos that I have seen! (And I'm not just saying that because I'm in most of them) She is truly amazing!!!! Thank you so much, and best wishes for continued success. You deserve it. read more
