Michelle Proctor Photography

Michelle brought the perfect balance of professionalism and warmth to our shoot. She was punctual and prepared, with locations scouted in advance. My partner and I had never done a photo shoot and felt a little awkward and silly posing, but Michelle made us laugh and gave just the right amount of direction to get genuine laughs and relaxed smiles. The shoot itself took less than an hour and in a short turnaround Michelle delivered magazine-quality images, with no heavy filters or cheesy photoshop effects. Each one is frame worthy. I recommend her to everyone.

We are so in love with the photos Michelle did of our family. With two toddlers who don't love the camera things were a bit chaotic but she just rolled with it all and the images perfectly captured the wildness, love and fun of having two toddlers. We are so grateful to have these fleeting moments captured forever. As well Michelle is so easy to work with and is communicative and easy going. Thank you!

We had Michelle take some engagement photos for us. In all honesty, I hate taking photos, so was dreading the experience in a way, but was surprised to find that I actually enjoyed the experience!Michelle was able to make us both feel very comfortable and relaxed, this came through in the photos. We both seemed very natural on the other side of the lens and we will certainly cherish them. Can't say the same about other shoots I've been in!Michelle was very professional, and we did not have to wait forever to receive the photos back from her.We will certainly work with her again!

The photos that Michelle took of our family came out better then I could have imagined. She was so great directing our family, and her ability to make us all comfortable really came through in the photos. I would highly recommend using Michelle to help capture your family moments.

Michelle is beyond amazing! She shot our wedding and we could not have been happier with the entire experience with her, and the photographs in the end. She did a site walk-through and offered a fantastic suggestion for the location of our arch based on the afternoon light. It was things like that that made her more than just a photographer. On the day, she was completely open to our ideas, a lot of fun, and so unobtrusive that we were amazed by how much she captured, and what she captured. Moments that we missed. Cannot recommend highly enough!

Having a family photoshoot with Michelle was wonderful! As a mom, she has a friendly ease with kids, and our little boy really liked her. She made the afternoon playful and enjoyable and the results were fantastic. We loved the photos so much that we framed it for above the fireplace in our new home.

I'm not a huge fan of having my photo taken but Michelle directed and interacted with my family with such ease that we had a great time! I loved how natural everything felt and it definitely shows in the fantastic photos that are now hanging on our wall. The image turnaround was nice & quick. Big thanks to Michelle for making this the best and most enjoyable photo shoot I've had. (My wife is especially happy). Will definitely be calling you again for more photos!

When we first booked Michelle for our wedding we knew we had made a good choice. Her communication was clear, prompt and professional while still having warmth and personality. We met at the venue a week before the event. We shared with her our whole vision, she intently listened then lended (much appreciated) feedback. We wound up taking Michelle’s advice and flipping our ceremony around completely- literally the opposite of what we had envisioned and we are so grateful we did. The lighting was perfection, because of her. We didn’t have sun in our eyes or shadows on our faces. Michelle was unbelievably efficient, *truly unbelievable* how quickly we cruised through group/family photos. Our guests commented after the fact at how stealth she was, floating through the crowd capturing beautiful moments as they unfolded. When it came to our couples portraits she prompted us enough that we didn’t feel uncomfortable but not too much to make it feel unnatural. For a few specific poses she left her ego aside and pulled up exact photos for inspiration. She referenced a shot list she had asked me to write so we didn’t miss anything important. Michelle understood the importance of spending this short day with all those we had invited, though she wasn’t shy in calling us out for a couple more photos during golden hour. The day of the wedding was magical, every interaction with Michelle was comfortable and fun.Then came the photos. The sneak peek was enough for me, if those were all the photos we had received we would have been happy. I’m not exaggerating when I say every single photo was incredible and frame worthy. It would be an understatement to say that Michelle exceeded our expectations. Thank you Michelle for photographing the best day of our lives exactly how we remember it, we are forever grateful we chose you.

Michelle is an incredibly talented and professional photographer. She took wonderful pictures of my partner and I capturing our love for eachother. The session was so much fun and she makes you feel so comfortable and at ease throughout. Michelle has fantastic artistic vision and took various shots at our outdoor location. The results speak for themselves. They're amazing! We can't wait for her to capture more of life's precious moments. I highly recommend others do the same. You will not be disappointed!

We had the most wonderful mini photo session with Michelle. She made us feel comfortable and was so great and patient with our 16 month old. The photos turned out so well and we will cherish them forever!
