What started out as a hobby, evolved into a great passion. With a camera on hand for every event, I spent my lunch money as a young kid developing films at the photo store. I became so fond of capturing as many organic moments as I can in photographs and fell in love with the idea of telling people's stories in images rather than words.
ABOUT
I'm a Midwesterner who still loathes the cold wind that hits my face in the winter. Although, I love snow because it makes pretty selfies! I was born & raised in the Philippines so I often long for the tropics. My parents are of Chinese, Filipino & Spanish descent. English was my FOURTH language but proudly retained it well enough that people don't realize I first stepped into this land when I was already 15! My best stress reliever is my pooch, a Shiba Inu named, Simba.
I'm Michelle
I married my high school sweetheart, Erick. He would always say I came onto him and then I'd respond with, "You wish!" His persistence earned him my sweet yes after three no's. We became a couple after he came to my place with flowers apologizing for ditching me after our walk to my favorite ice cream place. His humor is my medicine. His hugs and kisses are my daily vitamins. He's quite supportive of my passion so don't be surprised if you see him on our consultations & shoots to help get our grooms at ease, and well, to carry all my heavy stuffs!
