I'm Michele

...in the elevator and on the Internet, YOU are the face of your brand

and I’m here because...

I’m a Rapid City, South Dakota-based headshot and branding photographer with a passion for travel, brunch, and finding the best in people—both through the camera lens and in person.. 

My biggest fear in life (after fear of being forced to sing karaoke in public places) is Fear of Taking Unflattering Photos. Yes, I’m the photographer who runs the other direction when I see a camera pointed at me!

That’s why I’m on a mission to make you look and feel amazing in front of my camera.

As a headshot photographer for the past 10 years, I’ve learned that everyone is photogenic. It’s all about finding the right angle, the right lighting, and the best lens for every face and body type.

I've honed that skill and created my own system that works without fail — so you can finally have the photos you deserve.
