Reviews of Michelle Doucette Photography (Photo Studio)

Colin Conrad

I sought Michelle out for a head shot and graduation photo after poking around online for great photographers in HRM. She didn't disappoint. Michelle is very professional and does high quality work! I will definitely seek her for professional photography moving forward.

I am not a lover of "photo sessions" but Michelle made our team photo shoot feel as relaxing as a good cup of tea. She even brought the mugs! It was a dream to work with a photographer of Michelle's caliber. I would recommend her in a heartbeat.

Clarissa Weber

Working with Michelle was so easy. She shot a multi-day event for us - a conference and an awards gala. I gave her a list of scenes to shoot and she delivered on all of them. Her photography is excellent and she was so dependable and independent. She delivered the photos within about 2-3 days of the event and she captured some great scenes. I would recommend Michelle to anyone who is looking for a great photographer who is also very professional and wonderful to work with. I would definitely work with Michelle again. A plus!

I had a wonderful experience with Michelle Doucette. This was my first professional photo session and I was not really comfortable as we entered it. She put me completely at ease and gave really clear direction about how to ensure that we got great shots. She gave great suggestions about colours and backgrounds and suggested things that I never would have thought of. These suggestions produced the best pictures by far. She was meticulous in ensuring that the detail was right as she was taking the pictures. Michelle is a true professional and highly recommended.

So thrilled to work with my dream photographer for a more conceptual self-promotion series. Michelle rose to the challenge of making my uncommon requests work as I had envisioned. She is warm and welcoming, and doesn't hesitate to give you great direction to make sure you look your best. Book her.

I was updating my portfolio and needed a few headshots. You actually made me look good... you're a miracle worker! Thanks Michelle!

A true professional! Michelle has a warm and natural manner that made me feel at ease when getting headshots done. There was plenty of correspondence leading up to my session so she could get a clear vision of what I wanted ahead of time. She was very prompt and detailed in answering any questions that I emailed. She pays attention to the smallest of details to make sure she gets the best possible shot. She wanted to make sure I was happy with the final photos and went above and beyond what was expected to make that happen. They are beautiful!

For my first time doing professional photography, I was taken care of in all regards by Michelle. She took invaluable time with me to answer all my "detailed" questions. I didn't feel rushed at all. She also did a photo shoot at a local beach during sunset where I felt relaxed and comfortable knowing she had everything under control. I am very pleased with my photos and look forward to working with Michelle in the future. I would highly and gladly recommend Michelle Doucette Photography!!

Michelle has a fantastic eye for lighting and detail! I needed a few professional pictures including a few head shots. She made me feel comfortable and gave excellent direction to get the pictures that I wanted. The pictures are great! I also had a few shots of my daughter (who is 4) and I. She worked really well with my daughter and managed to get some excellent shots from a little girl who doesn't take direct "so well!" :) Michelle is an excellent photographer and I would recommend her to anyone who wants amazing pictures!!!!

I have been a client of Michelle Doucette Photography for many years and would recommend her services in a heart beat! She is the sweetest person, accommodating, and most of all takes excellent pictures. I feel very fortunate to have Michelle as my photographer for my business photos as well as my family photos.

Krista Montelpare

Michelle is an amazingly talented photographer! She is easy and fun to work with but her attention to detail will make sure that the staging and poses will produce the best possible images. The headshots she did of my team were excellent. Highly recommend!

I have worked with Michelle twice - first for my wedding and then my business photography. She manages to take the nervous energy of having your photos taken and transform it into a fun, relaxed experience. Michelle has an incredible eye for backgrounds, composition, and use of light, adding a depth and liveliness to your images. She is the difference between someone who takes photos and a photographer!

Lisa Staples

I hired Michelle to do head shots I needed for my new business. She is very professional, and also warm and friendly. I felt very relaxed and comfortable during my session. She captured amazing pictures of me with a genuine smile - because I was laughing so much! Everyone I show them to says, "What a great picture!" and I am so excited to use them in my marketing materials. She also met a very tight deadline I had. I will definitely work with Michelle again!

Sophia Lamar

I was nervous about my photo shoot but Michelle's relaxed professional manner and great sense of humour made the whole experience fun, and produced pictures that I love! I liked the variety of backgrounds, lightings and postures we tried, that resulted in a selection that was very hard to choose from, I liked so many of them! Heartily recommended!

Michelle helped me plan my headshots from our first telephone conversation to the moment in her studio. Her relaxed and professional manner helped put me at ease, which is reflected in the final photographs. The images are beautiful and I am so grateful I decided to work with her.

Jennifer Hayward

Michelle came highly recommended to me. I'm so glad I went with her. The photographs she did for my website are gorgeous! I've gotten tons of compliments on them. Exactly the professional, yet candid, relaxed, look I was going for in an artistic profession. And, she turned them around super quickly.

Heather MacDonald

On a rainy Saturday afternoon I found out I needed a professional headshot as soon as possible. Desperately, I reached out to Michelle to see if she was available that evening and willing to help. Lucky for me, she was. Without little planning by both of us we were able to pull it off. Thanks to Michelle. The photo shot was a lot of fun. Michelle made the experience entertaining and natural. She was very easy to work with and I felt very comfortable the whole time. I'm extremely appreciative of her ability to work on a tight deadline and her wellness to go the extra mile. And the photos look great! I'll be recommending her in the future!

Michelle does fantastic work and is always there when I need her! Quick turn-around and great prices; doesn't get any better!

Catie Hines

Michelle is the best! She is very professional and wonderful with our kids when we had her do family shots. We never have any concerns about the quality of her work, it always exceeds our expectations! We highly recommend Michelle and we are looking forward to our next family shoot with her.

Karen Judge

We had a great experience with Michelle for our family photo session at Point Pleasant Park. She was friendly, professional, and just a delightful person to work with. She was clearly very used to navigating photo shoots with unwieldy toddlers and gave us helpful direction to make sure we got the best shots. We just received the photos today and we're so happy with them! She is a true talent and we highly recommend.

Chantal Pelham-Edwards

Michelle has been documenting our celebrations and milestones since 2007. We started with engagement photos, then onto wedding photos, maternity photos, newborn photos, and family photos. We even did some boudoir photos! I love watching how our family has grown through her camera's lens. She always makes us 'look good' but there is also the realism that is true to who we are. I always look forward to our shoots with Michelle and I know I will love the results.

Anne-Marie Gammon

Michelle is a true professional. She demonstrates great care and high attention to detail. Michelle is a pleasure to work with.

Katherine Roberts

The photos Michelle took for my newsletter and website are very professional and show my personality. She made me feel comfortable and confident, a big part of getting the right shot. On top of that she was fast, provided great value and is dedicated to satisfying her clients!

Zita MacDow

I"m extremely pleased with the work Michelle completed for me! During the shoot, she took the time to ensure I was comfortable and attended to every detail, including making sure my clothing and hair were in place, and helping me to position myself for the best angle and lighting. She also had some creative ideas to set up different backgrounds. When I received the proofs, there were so many great shots it was hard to choose just a few! I'd highly recommend her services.

Jill Johnson

Michelle was wonderful to work with for my company's professional photos. She makes you laugh and feel at ease, while making sure you look your best! I would absolutely hire her again and recommend her for quality photos and a fun, positive session experience.

Jane Davies

Michelle's talents go much farther than her technical skills. She has a keen ability to make her clients feel completely comfortable and ultimately be themselves so she can capture that one great shot ! She helped me find the fun so that the smiles would be genuine ! I would highly recommend her.

Ashley Drohan

Michelle did a professional head-shot for me, and I absolutely love the images! She was extremely easy to work with and very accomdating to my schedule and highly professional. I would highly recommend her.

Susanne Chui

Michelle did an amazing job taking photos at our wedding. Her photos were beautiful and perfectly captured the day. Calm, cool and collected she was a great presence at the event and made everyone feel comfortable. She was easy to work with and professional every step of the way. She is now a photographer for the company I work for, Mocean Dance, and is bringing her fantastic eye to capturing the our performance work in the studio and onstage.

Juliet Nicol

I had contacted Michelle to do my headshots for work. Michelle responded to my inquiry quickly and we were able to set an appointment in short order as well due to some time constraints on my end. I found Michelle to be so warm, approachable, and she immediately put me at ease on the day of the shoot. The photo's she took really capture "me" and I couldn't be happier with the results. I appreciated that she took her time to find the best lighting for my photos as well as took a variety of poses, etc., so I could see what would suit me as well. She also has an incredible eye for details and will slightly adjust your pose or even remove a tiny speck of lint to ensure an exceptional photo. Lastly, I liked the process for choosing the photos as Michelle will send you a selection of the untouched proofs for you to choose and then will apply the finishing touches to those choices. My whole experience has been excellent and I cannot thank Michelle enough for her time and her expertise. I would highly recommend Michelle for any of your photographic needs!
