My name is Michelle. I am a 35 year old wife, and mother to 2 precious boys. I have lived in Maryland most of my life and love it’s diversity…but mostly the beaches! No, they are not tropical oases but each one is different and just as beautiful in the winter as in the summer months. Growing up on the Eastern shore, there was not much for us to do, so hobbies were a great way to stay out of trouble. At the age of 12 my father handed me my first 35mm camera. My mother taught me how to use it and that was the spark that ignited my passion for photography. I loved walking down to the water to photograph landscapes, but my favorite thing to do was photograph my younger brother and sister. I would hand a sheet over the clothes line in our back yard or take them to the beach to pose in the grasses or along the waterline. And nothing excited me more that to get them developed! I would anxiously await the development and delivery. THANK GOD for digital photography and instant gratification! Waiting for development was torture!

In the past years my subjects have been my family, friend’s families and charity boudoir sessions for Relay for Life. Pictures from those sessions can be found here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/flippinoffcancer/ I loved taking these pictures, I loved the fact that when they left the shoot, they KNEW they looked AMAZING! There is nothing more gratifying than handing someone a photo of themself that makes them feel good. We as women are so hard on ourselves and rarely see ourselves as others see us. Beautiful and unique, true individuals, lovely and feminine. This is what I want my clients/girlfriends to feel when they leave a session.
-XO Michelle
