meet michelle
So, in short, I’m married to my high-school sweetheart, Nico. I’m a mommy to our beautiful son, Aiden, and our fur baby, Roxy. I love traveling whenever I can (who doesn’t?), watching sunsets, enjoying my morning coffee, and staying active.
I work full-time as a Google Ads designer and pursue photography in my spare time. I particularly love photographing weddings and couples in love. Becoming a mom recently has led me to truly appreciate the miracle of pregnancy, sparking a love for documenting such an amazing time in a woman and couple’s life.
My photography journey began when I was a teenager, but it wasn’t until I found myself without a job and with lots of spare time (thanks to Covid) that I could teach myself to shoot on manual and take it seriously. I took my camera everywhere for fun, and my father-in-law suggested I become a photographer. I actually giggled at the idea because I never thought I would be worthy enough to take photos for people on the most special days and times of their lives. Thank goodness I had supporters who pushed me to pursue this wild dream I had.
My goal has always been to bless people with amazing memories. I feel like God gave me a gift, talent, and passion for photography, and I want to use it in His name.
completely random facts:
I’m a 90’s kid (1992 – yep, I’m that old).
I have a twin sister, and we had our kids in the same week (nope, not planned).
I love animations and any movie genre that includes the word “comedy.”
I used to drive rally cars and would do it again any day if the opportunity presents itself. Pretty badass, right? 😉
I like a good glass of red wine or gin.
I absolutely hate the winter (except for the sunsets – they’re just different).
No, pineapple doesn’t belong on pizza (yuck).
My favorite place is Cape Town – I just love the mountains, scenery, and ocean.
Oh, and I looove house plants – hence the name Greenleaf Photography.
Cannot wait to meet you!
