As of September 2026 I will no longer be posting photos of children on my website or social media pages. Private galleries will be shared with booked clients at my discretion. The privacy of my littlest clients is extremely important to me and I appreciate your understanding.

Love for Yellow Umbrella:

"Our experiences with our photo shoots were incredible! Michelle was communicative, kind, and, most importantly, loving to our babies. Scheduling was easy, and Michelle was willing to squeeze us into her schedule when it was most convenient for us — a tough feat when working with a pregnancy/newborn timeframe! Our photos came out stunning. Michelle encouraged us to be comfortable in both our clothing and environment. She made sure the love in our family shone in every picture. We can’t wait for our next photo shoot with Yellow Umbrella Imagery!"
