I have been on both sides of the camera so I know all the hard work that goes into planning the session and I have all the tips and tricks to help. I am here to support you so that we can have the best time together, capturing the pictures you always imagined having.

Nothing makes me happier than helping my clients bring their vision to life!

NICE TO MEET YOU! I'M MICHELLE BETLEM.

I love getting to know my clients! And I think you like getting to know me too

so here’s a little teaser…

I LOVE music! Fun fact: I used to host a radio show & have been to over 1000 concerts in my lifetime already!

I love being outdoors and exploring nature. There is nothing better than a good hike and an epic view!

My son, Theo, was born on March 1, 2023 which was the 10 year anniversary that my husband and I had our first kiss!

That is why I believe that the best photos are rooted in being authentic and present. My favourite photos are usually always the candid ones. Over the years I've learned a lot about helping my clients feel totally at ease and have fun during our time together so that we are guaranteed to get the best pictures. Forget rigid posing! I want you to be able to look at those images and remember the way the sun felt on your face, or how hard you laughed at a silly joke, and see how natural it all was for you.

well, guess what, me too!

do you feel awkward or don’t know how to pose in front of the camera?

BOOK YOUR SESSION

What I treasure the most in life are the people I love. In 2022 I lost my mom to brain cancer. It was only seven months from the time of her diagnosis until her death on Christmas Eve. It was the most devastating loss I have ever experienced and I will never stop missing her. But that experience reinforced and reignited my passion for photography - you see, I don’t have many pictures of me and my mom. The last ones were from my wedding in 2019. I wish I had taken my own advice and got out from behind the camera to take more pictures with her. I will never make that mistake again. So believe me when I say, I value your photos as if they were my own and I work extremely hard to capture and preserve the moments and people that matter the most.
