I’m Michelle, a styled portrait and boudoir photographer.
A picture really can be worth a thousand words.
The trick is understanding that the only words that matter are your own!
I am creative, kind, fun, generous, caring, patient, and a multitude of other things that make me a beautiful person. How would you describe yourself? It's not exactly easy is it? Saying something positive about yourself or saying it without feeling conceited. Your words to yourself matter, this translates to photos as well. I'm here to show you it's not only okay to get beautiful images of yourself, it's a necessity!
01.
Where can you find me?
I work from two indoor locations, one in Downers Grove, IL. and the second in Villa Park, IL. Both are in the western suburbs of Chicago, IL. I also offer and enjoy doing outdoor photography, weather permitting.
02.
What is my goal?
I want you to feel that I have captured your authentic self. All the nuances and emotion that you embody, I want them to shine through. Seeing yourself in a way that brings you closer to you.
03.
Why?
Why do this, you ask? Why do you need photos of yourself? Why go through all the fuss? What will you even do with them?
04.
Why not?
Why wouldn't you, is the real question. We all yearn for love and acceptance. The thing is, it starts within. So, love on yourself! You deserve all the things, including stunning art on your walls that reminds you everyday how amazing you are. Now that is priceless!

KIND WORDS
I absolutely loved doing my photo session with Michelle. I could not have asked for a better experience. It went above and beyond my expectations. Michelle was very professional and made me feel so comfortable. She told me exactly how to pose, where to look, and helped me relax because i was so nervous. she made me feel so confident and beautiful.
