Photography by Michelle Hires

So glad you found me!

Hi, I'm Michelle. Thank you for stopping by!

Life is all about the moments. Births, Birthdays, Weddings, Pregnancy...whatever the moment is in YOUR life is what I want to capture.

My photography journey began in 2009 when, at the urging of my husband, I began to pursue a Bachelor's Degree in Photography. He recognized my passion and wanted me to reach out and grab it! This is one thing that sets me apart; I not only have been teaching myself but I have also been putting in the work to formally learn the art and science of photography.

Your session will be professionally directed, captured and processed by me. Rest assured, I will be doing my best to capture images that you will cherish for years and be proud to hang on your walls. Our session will be fun and energetic and I promise to capture some true emotions and moments just for YOU.

I am a wife and mother. My husband and my child are my world.
I can't start my day without a cup of coffee and the Today show.
I'm obsessed with the show 'Criminal Minds', it's a good thing A&E runs a marathon at least once a week. Wait, maybe not.

Want more information? Send me an email or give me a call. I am willing to meet prior to your session and/or event and chat about making your vision a reality. I particularly enjoy having these chats at the local coffee shop!

I specialize in on-location, natural-light photography in the Columbia, SC metro area. I am also available for sessions in Cape Cod, MA and Southern NJ at various times throughout the year. Stay tuned to the blog for details!
