Your place or mine?
My beautiful purpose built studio is located in Huntly, surrounded by bushland and just minutes from the Bendigo CBD. It’s where families can feel comfortable and relaxed to bring their newborn babies (or older children) to be photographed.
I am a natural light photographer and am lucky enough to have large windows spanning across the front wall of my studio to utilise for gorgeous lighting in all of my studio sessions.
The studio is also the perfect setting for personal and business branding sessions and photography workshops. Of course, we can also shoot outdoors or on location.

Kind words from my clients...
"Michelle totally got my branding and the look and feel I was going for with my images. I love the colours that she achieved and the time of day that she chose. I was a bit concerned about being the centre of attention as I hadn't done a photoshoot before, but Michelle made me feel relaxed and at ease. It was fun! Now that I have these beautiful images, I feel energised to update my website and plan content for my social media channels. I only wish I'd made the investment sooner."

"We have felt so lucky and grateful that Michelle has captured our family moments as we have welcomed three gorgeous daughters. She has a relaxed approach which has ensured our babies and ourselves were calm and happy and this has resulted in fantastic photos. The images are treasured. We always suggest her whenever any of our friends or family are looking for a photographer as we know they will be as wrapt with their photos as we are."
Ford Family
"Michelle covered our Wedding day in March 2014 and provided us with the most amazing and beautiful photographs which captured the day beautifully. The pictures were amazing, not only from a professional point of view, but each special moment was captured really well. With a big wedding party Michelle not only connected and made us feel comfortable but also the entire wedding party including the 6 children involved. People still make comment on our wedding photos and we owe it all to Michelle. Would not have had anyone else capture our special day."
Chloe and Nick Whitfield
"From start to finish our experience with Michelle was very positive. Only a professional would spend the time prior to a photo shoot, making the children feel completely at ease by just “hanging” out with them. As a direct result of the time she invested into our family prior to any photos being taken she managed to capture each of our personalities perfectly! I think Michelle’s sensitivity in working with children comes from her obvious love and enthusiasm for creating beautiful family photography. We continue to enjoy her work every day as it hangs in frames around our house."
