Living in the same small town I grew up in, Chillicothe, IL. The mister and I are raising 2 crazy, fun-loving boys, Harrison and Lucas and 2 even crazier dogs, Arlo and Norm <3

I thrive off organized chaos, good coffee, and eclectic music. When I'm not working you can find me reading, spending time with family & friends, trying new experiences and camping as soon as the season starts.

Join me on this imaginative adventure, creating magic and celebrating the beauty of life in all it’s forms.

Welcome to my little corner of the world where I get to share stories and life through photographs. 

My journey as a photographer has been shaped by life’s complexities, including the deeply personal experience of losing our daughter, Vaida. A piece of my heart is no longer with me, but I hold on tightly to the memories we have and she is the reason I continue my photographic journey.

Because of her, my work is infused with profound empathy and understanding. With the knowledge of knowing just how special a photo can be.

so glad you are here!

I'm Michelle, photographer, mother and seeker of beautiful moments.

EMOTION | I am passionate about creating images that are not only visually stunning, but also hold an emotional depth that resonates with each viewer.

COMFORT
| I strive to create a relaxed and welcoming atmosphere, allowing my clients to be their authentic selves.

PATIENCE
| Understanding kids sometimes need a minute and that things often unfold naturally, I wait for the perfect opportunity to capture genuine moments.


I value the moments that are real and raw. The moments that you cannot imagine not having forever and that's why I'm here. So that you can relive those days, over and over.
