Welcome

Welcome to my new Blog! Thanks for stopping by. I will try to keep you updated daily with new photo shoots and announcements. Bookmark my blog and check back regularly.

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.

Matt and Carissa *The Video

Several months ago I photographed an amazing wedding between two great people. This has to be one of my faves of 2009. Matt is deployed right now so I would like to wish him and his family well and hope to see him home soon.

Revisted.. Jessica and Chris *Cabo san lucas

Wow, what an aventure Dave and I had. I want to THANK Jessica and Chris for allowing us to be apart of their day. These two had a wedding that most of us dream of. It was a BEAUTIFUL day, skys were blue and the water was clear. For anyone that has not been to Cabo San Lucas before its a must. I am sooo GLAD that I was able to conquer my fear of flying, I had already missed two great weddings last year to my fear. Here are a few of my faves from their day.
