Hi! I’m so happy you’re here! I’m Michele - a portrait photographer based in Connecticut.

For the free-spirited, genuine people who love to feel empowered, belly laugh, and create beautiful tangible memories.

I’m all about facilitating a relaxed, judgement-free zone. You can expect good vibes, positive energy and the occasional dad joke.

We are always growing, and always evolving. Through my photography, I aim to capture your authentic moments - capturing your essence throughout any season of life that has shaped you into the person you are, and the person you are becoming.

  • "What can I say, Michele is incredible - and she makes it all so EASY. She shows up happy, has original and innovative ideas and produces a quality of photos that always supersedes my expectations. Michele is a joy to work with, passionate about her art and a queen of her craft. She's done both professional and personal photography for me and I am always wow'd, by both the photos and the experience. Thank you Michele, for capturing all of life's most important moments so perfectly and making me feel (and look) like a million bucks! HIGHLY RECOMMEND."

  • "Michele gave me such an amazing experience at our boudoir shoot. She was punctual, prepared, and excellent at communicating her vision. She gassed me up while constructively helping me pose and I loved it! I don’t have my picture taken often, yet she made me feel so confident in front of the camera. I left feeling the prettiest I’ve ever felt and so very empowered. I can’t recommend her enough."

Hands down the most fun/ professional experience will be with Michele!”
