Jennifer Valla

I love my Photos! My experience from start to finish was easy, comfortable and more thenI expected! Michele is a pro! She also has a mack for getting you in the right position and has creative ideas! Thanks Michele for helping me bring out my inner vixen!

Michelle is amazing! She has a gift with photography, and she's the girlfriend we all want in our lives. My experience was so fun, empowering, and comfortable, even though having my photo taken has always been outside of my comfort zone. Michelle prepares you so well with what to expect, prices, etc. I will definitely book with Michelle again.

I had the most incredible experience doing a Boudoir Session with Michele. She provides a lovely and safe space (also uses Covid safety protocols) and communicates well to understand your wishes before the shoot begins. Jenny, the makeup artist, is lovely and does an amazing job. Michele is so supportive and gives great direction and guidance during the shoot. I've only seen a few of my sneak peek pics so far but I love them all. Her work is incredible and you'll love working with her. An experience that will leave you feeling amazing about yourself! Thank you Michele!

I can't even begin to describe how much fun I had doing my boudoir session with Michele! She is so welcoming and bubbly. She empowers you and makes you feel like a true queen. Her work is so creative and inspiring. Her style is unique, not like the usual boudoir pictures you see around. I will forever cherish this experience and recommend her work 100%!

Michele is an exceptional photographer who is passionate about celebrating women as well as encouraging us to own our sensuality. The process of working with her from my initial interest, to the actual freeing & fun photoshoot, to the end product went beyond my expectations. It was an amazing experience that I will treasure and the best gift I could have given myself for my milestone birthday. I highly recommend Michele for anyone looking to celebrate and embrace themselves or anyone they love.

Michele is such an empowering photographer who facilitates the emergence of the true goddess. She gently guides but ultimately acts as a witness to one's rebirth through this very intimate process. I truly believe that in this capacity, she is not only a photographer, she is a facilitator of healing. Thank you for the wonderful experience, Michele!

Michele is one of her kind, she's amazing and she knows what exactly she's doing. I loved working with her, getting photographed. I was extremely nervous when I we started but within 30 minutes I was extremely comfortable because I could trust her with all my heart. She's the best! I loved every moment of being there and getting photographed. And ofcourse the photos blew my mind! Thank you so much Michele <3

Michele is such a pleasure to work with! She is professional, fun and really goes the extra mile to ensure you are comfortable. I appreciate he ability to provide a safe space for boudoir to get intimate and be vulnerable. Having a hair and make up artist onsite to pamper you before the shoot adds that extra special touch to your look. I'm thrilled with the images and experience!

I can’t recommend Michele enough. My boudoir experience was so empowering and freeing. Michele creates a safe space and emboldens you to go as far as you feel comfortable. Nothing is too taboo! Michele helps you celebrate your body and feel your most beautiful. I felt so connected to myself, and truly seen. I come back to my photos when I’m feeling down to remember my worth. Thank you Michele!

Danielle Leroux

I cannot recommend Michele highly enough! Doing my first boudoir shoot with Michele was an incredibly empowering experience. Thank you Michele for helping me see myself in a new light and encouraging me to acknowledge, accept, and celebrate my beauty and strength. The entire session experience - from the pre-shoot preparation to the album reveal - was incredibly positive and thoughtful. I felt comfortable throughout and appreciated your light-hearted and encouraging approach. I look forward to doing it again!

Michele made this photo shoot so easy and fun from start to finish. Her warm, bubbly personality and professionalism made me feel totally at ease. And the photos turn out amazing! I felt creative, and confident and sexy. Thanks Michele!

Aubrey Marshall

Michele is incredible! Her studio space is beautiful and welcoming. The perfect space to embrace your beauty and express yourself. During our session I had the opportunity to be sassy, demure, sexy and joyful. The entire experience is one every women needs to have. The finished images filled me with so much joy !!

Jane Whitlaw

Wow! Michelle has an incredible ability to truly see the woman within and bring her to life! I can’t say enough about her photos! Her energy, authenticity, warmth, and genuine belief in her client’s beauty, bring comfort and safety. This quickly permits a sense of empowerment, acceptance for imperfection, and vulnerability, which Michelle then (somehow!) is able to capture on camera, locking the experience in time. I’m so grateful to have had an opportunity to both meet and work with Michelle. I’d do it again 100 times over!

Michele is an amazing photographer whether you are looking for branding shots for your business or intimate portraits for yourself or your partner. She's funny and she's able to capture my personality in her photos. I already have my next photoshoot booked!

The Heckle Report

Wow! I had the best time during my photoshoot! Michele really knows how to create a wonderful atmosphere and exciting experience. Her eye for capturing emotions is absolutely stunning! I gasped out loud for each new picture and seeing myself like that. Will for sure be recommending her to any of my friends looking to have incredible boudoir photos of themselves!

Audrey Angchangco

Our couple's boudoir shoot with Michele was incredible. It made us feel connected to each other and our bodies in a very unique and beautiful way. I don't think we would have felt comfortable with anyone else but Michele. She made the experience so easy and natural! It was amazing seeing the best qualities and vulnerabilities of our bodies showcased together in such an intimate way. We truly cannot be thankful enough for this experience
