Hello, my name is Michelle and I am a Wedding/Portrait Photographer in Bakersfield, Ca (& surrounding areas). I am open to travel! I picked up my first digital camera 4 years ago and have taken thousands of photos since. I've read many books, participate in online forums and have taken many workshops. I have been in business 2 years and have photographed over 30 weddings. I enjoy what I do, and love to make couples happy. We have a ton of FUN! I couldn't imagine doing anything else. I've been married 7 years to my husband David and we have one daughter. David has been such a huge support and my family means the world to me. I hope to get to know you so comment as much as you like. I am a very friendly, outgoing person.

Colgate Wisp!!

Recently I came across those new Colgate Wisp disposable mini- toothbrushes. These are soo neat and convenient , I definitely think these little guys should be a part of every brides “Bridal Survival Kit!!”  If you ask me their a MUST! They leave your teeth with that just brushed feeling, freshens your breath and all with no water.. no water= no rinsing= NO MESS :) Perfect for someone who is fresh faced and doesn’t want to ruin their makeup, or for the bride & groom who want to freshen up for their first blissful kiss as Mr. & Mrs…

Jeana and Daniel *Post

I met with Jeana and Daniel over a year ago, I knew right then this couple was awesome and very in love! Jeana’s day started very early, I met up with her at 11:30 to get a few getting ready shots. She was a stunning bride and the day was going perfect, I don’t think one thing went wrong all day it was the MOST relaxing wedding I have ever photographed. There are so many images that I love so I am posting a lot! Thanks again Jeana and Daniel for trusting me with your wedding photographs.
