Hi, I’m Michelle.
I am a photographer and visual artist that specializes in outdoor, landscape and brand photography. I love to create images through visual story telling in a way that feels both relatable and inspiring.
I’ve lived in a self converted 1988 GMC Vandura named Carl since January of 2019. After graduating with my Masters in Business in 2014, I started my career with the typical desk job. Shortly after realizing that wasn’t for me, I made it my mission to find my passion. I focused on who I wanted to be rather than what I had done in the past. I wrote a list of everything I was interested in and started working towards a new life.
I worked in hospitality at various restaurants and hotels, got my Real Estate license and was a Realtor for 2 years, was an Auditor - auditing captive insurance companies, had an Etsy where I made home decor and wooden shelves, drove golf carts around music festivals as a taxicab and a few more I’m probably forgetting about. It wasn’t until I was 26 that I started photography but was completely hooked. I wanted to pursue destination wedding photography so I built out a van to drive across the company to build my portfolio. I started documenting my journey and now do photography and content creation full time!
I hope to inspire others to look for their passion, to not be afraid of change and to find happiness in exploring.
