About Mish

hey there

- Emilie

"Michelle is truly an expert at her craft! I was so nervous the first time I booked MishReed Photography because I was scared that our photos would look forced or staged. Instead, Michelle has a way with people- and the camera- that allowed our true personalities to shine through. She captured such intimate and sweet moments that I will treasure forever. I cannot say enough great things about her!."

love from past clients

- Mollie

" We are so grateful for Michelle ❤️ She has captured the last few years for us so beautifully. We have Irish twins and the older of the two has sensory issues and can have some tough times! Michelle is so flexible with our craziness. She helps ease my anxiety and always captures the most special moments."

- Kayla

"Just did a mommy and me photo shoot with Michelle. She was so patient with my almost 2 year old daughter. This isn't my first time working with her and definitely won't be the last. Michelle also took my wedding photos and did another family photo shoot for us. All turned out amazing. If I could give 100 stars I would! Love Michelle's work and personality."
