a documentary approach to photography
on the Alabama Gulf Coast
Gulf Coast documentary photographer, storyteller, & dog-lover.
Meet Michelle, a photographer based in Gulf Shores, AL.
Serving the Gulf Coast & beyond
Hey there! Thanks for stopping by :)
I hope this space makes you feel all warm and fuzzy.
Whether you’re looking for a documentary style photographer on the Gulf Coast to beautifully document your wedding day, your motherhood journey, a special occasion, or fleeting small moments together - I’m here to capture all those kinds of love.
Most importantly, I want to offer a memorable, candid, and comfortable photography experience that you’ll actually enjoy rather than stress over. My documentary approach means we’ll plan activities and hang out while I notice the organic connections and feelings between you and your loved ones.
I aim for my work to feel nostalgic, intentional, and authentic to each and every client.

"Oh, my, Michelle! These pictures and your ability to capture the emotion and the joy shared between this family… hands down, phenomenal. You are blessed with an ability to read the family, and then design your session around the personalities to capture all the feels. The pictures were so fun in the moment and tear-evoking (in a good way), while viewing. You captured most accurately, a once in a lifetime chapter in our lives so that we can relive this experience for a lifetime."

"Michelle is a joy to work with! She has taken both newborn pictures and family pictures for me and I have been thrilled with the results! She makes great recommendations; anything from what to wear, to location, to cute poses and action shots. She has great turnaround time, typically getting pictures posted to a private gallery in less than a week. I definitely recommend her and look forward to working with her again."

"My fiancé and I booked Michelle for our first ever professional photoshoot and she made us feel so comfortable. She was such a fun, kind person to shoot with and the photos turned out absolutely amazing! She took her time to understand the kind of feel I was going for and she captured it perfectly. I cannot recommend her enough!!"

"It was such a joy to work with Michelle on our family beach photos. We had 12 people total, with 3 being under the age of 11. She communicated with me beforehand to understand what we wanted. She arrived on time and helped look around for the best location to take the shots. She was patient and unphased by the chaos of our group. She was able to get my young nephews to pay attention and smile, resulting in beautiful shots of them. She made sure we had all the shots we wanted and even took a few candids that turned out adorable. She did a great job placing all of us in the photos and they all look wonderful! We're so happy with the results! Highly recommend her!"

"Michelle is sweet and oh so talented. Our beach pictures will be something we cherish for years to come. Kind, worked well surrounding weather related issues, responded timely to any questions, and provided our pics edited in a timely manner. I would recommend her again and again! As we are from out of state, I needed to trust a stranger for our pictures, and now I’d consider her a friend! Book her now!"
