About | Love, Michelle Photography

Let me tell you a story...

Eight years ago, after many months of hoping, I was finally pregnant.

My husband and I had decided that I would stay home full time to raise our daughter,

which meant foregoing my nursing income and living without luxuries.

Trying to be frugal and practical, I decided professional maternity pictures were an indulgence we could do without.

We were planning on two children, so my next pregnancy, I told myself,

I would have professional pictures taken.

It turned out to be my only pregnancy.

All I have to look back on from that glorious chapter in our lives

are cell phone shots in front of a mirror.

I saved money, but I lost something of much greater value.

So I'm glad you're here, and I'm glad you're not making the choice I made.

Even if you don't choose me as your photographer,

don't let the priceless stories in your life go untold.

The best picture I have

of myself pregnant.
