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.

We’ve been working very hard on the Studio trying to get it ready for the 1st! We are painting all the rooms white, they were all coffee colors, yucky!! The Boudoir room is about done, it’s the one with the wall paper. Here are a few before images of the Xpressions by Michelle Studio..

Well I finally signed all the papers!!! Keys are mine and now to start the painting. The house is 1600sft of pure awesomeness
It has a gallery, shooting room, boudoir room, consultation room, workstation room and a bathroom! I will be opening very soon to the public, watch for the grand opening.. I will post some before images tomorrow. Goodnight
Is it BABY SEASON??? I am photographing a lot of babies lately, I hope it’s not going around! I would love to have atleast one more, which I am hoping to start planning after november. BUT till then I am loving all these babies, for the next week I will be posting all these beautiful ones.
Meet Ms. J.

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…

Was spectacular!! These two are were finally married after knowing each other for many years. Courtney knew he was the love of her life not to long after they met, we’ve had a FEW drinks one night and I could totally see the love and fun they have together. Thanks again for choosing me for your wedding photographer.. Drinks again SOON!

I met with Desiree a few days ago, These two were married not to long ago *MTV’s Underage and Engaged and now they are expecting their first child. I wish you both the best and can’t wait to meet the little one.
Enjoy!


I love that I am struggling to breathe! Sessions are keeping me so busy that I haven’t had a chance to come and post whats been going on, so I am finally able to show you a sneak peak of Courtneys wedding this past weekend. To the other 9 sessions, I will be posting some images soon I PROMISE!

I sooo love photographing maternitys! Isn’t she STUNNING!

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.
