About Red Photography By Michelle
Red Photography By Michelle
I’m a photographer who genuinely loves people and the art of storytelling. I don’t just show up with a camera—I show up as your biggest fan and your calm in the chaos. On your day, I’m fully in your corner, cheering you on, keeping things light, and making sure you feel comfortable being you. I believe the best photos come from real connection, laughter, and those in-between moments you didn’t even realize were happening. I’m known for being super funny, easygoing, and great at bringing out natural smiles—because if you’re having fun, the photos will feel like you.
My goal is simple: capture your day honestly, beautifully, and with a whole lot of heart. If you want someone who can wrangle the circus of the day and command it like a boss, I’m your person. I instantly connect with your loved ones, keep things moving without stress, and know exactly when to step in and when to let moments unfold naturally. If the moment calls for it, I’ll absolutely bust it out on the dance floor. Above everything else, I want you to fully enjoy your day—laugh hard, be present, and trust that I’ve got everything covered while capturing it all.

Michelle is THE best!
5 stars is not enough for Michelle!!! We spent a lot of time searching for a photographer because of how important it is to look back at your photos since the day is such a blur. We are beyond grateful we trusted Michelle with this. She’s not only incredibly fun, but she is extremely professional and knows exactly what she is doing and how to pose us for photos that are unrecognizable. Both my husband and I consider ourselves to be “awkward” and we could not even believe the photos she was capturing for us. Even on our wedding day she was so excited to share some of the photos to my phone that she was taking during the day. It made me so excited and so proud to show our family what she was doing behind the camera and how incredible our photographer was. So many people were so jealous as they did not get the same type of privilege on their wedding day. She is worth EVERY penny we spent and we can’t stop looking at the photos she captured for us as we re-live our day with so much happiness!!! She is the best and we will continue to trust her with all of our photos going forward!

Michelle was amazing! So in tune with my husband and I. We were her main priority. She was very easy to work with! And photos came out beautifully. I will recommend her to all my friends and family.

Excellent photographer
Michelle is effective, family oriented and has taken all of our family photos. She’s become family to ours. She’s been part of all of our milestones over many years. She works hard to make sure she gets the best pics every time.

Professional and talented
If you're looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also truly professional — Michelle is exactly that. She works fast, efficiently, and never wastes your time — whether it's a wedding day or any other type of session. Everything is organized, smooth, and always on point. She is especially amazing in studio photography. Having her own studio, she knows exactly how to work with light and create stunning, high-end images. Recently, I had a boudoir session with her, and as a photographer myself, I can confidently say — Michelle is a true professional. I absolutely loved both the experience and the final results. I’ve also worked with her as a second shooter and have seen firsthand how she interacts with couples on wedding days. She knows how to quickly find the perfect spots, keep things flowing, and handle any situation with ease and confidence. Highly recommend
