About Michelle

As a former competitive athlete, I have always loved playing and watching sports.  From elation to heartbreak and everywhere in between, players and spectators ride the roller coaster of emotions, during and after competition.  I want to capture the photos that can make people who weren't in attendance feel the same as those that were there - to share in the experience.

​

My goal is to capture those Sports Illustrated cover-perfect moments for athletes or their parents.  No matter the age of the athlete, it is fun to have a picture that shows a person doing something they love.

​

I have played sports my entire life and still played basketball up until Covid 19 shut things down. But now I have a pup to chase after, so my playing days may be over (not sure I could run the court for an hour again anyway).

​

I have coached basketball and soccer over the years, but now that my daughter is older, those days are over. 

 

I have always loved watching sports and cheering on my little brother as he lived his dream in the NFL for 16 years.

I loved those precious moments of being a mom that seem to have flown by and I always look for ways to capture and save those memories for myself and others.

​

I have always loved nature, but now I am obsessed with hiking the local trails, and sitting on the banks of the river or ponds waiting for wildlife or taking a kayak on the lake to photograph loons- another favorite subject for my lens. 

I love Twizzlers.  I will usually have some hidden in camera bag or fishing bag, or car for long rides.  

 

I love fishing with my husband, but,  I will still keep the camera on the boat for those times the fish aren't biting.  I love shooting wildlife and sitting in nature.

 

Oh, and pizza – I love pizza.
