We're hardwired for connection.

A photo does more than make your website look beautiful. It tells your story, builds trust and helps people connect with the person behind the business. Pretty powerful, right?

But needing beautiful photos and feeling comfortable having them taken are two very different things. That's where I come in. With thoughtful planning, clear direction and plenty of encouragement, I'll help you relax and create photos that feel like you.

My Mission: To make being photographed an experience you’ll genuinely enjoy, with beautiful imagery you can’t wait to share.

TRUSTED BY

Authors, artists, entrepreneurs, events & teams.

It’s been a joy to photograph so many incredible people and businesses over the past decade. Here are a few of those faces, stories and brands.

Your photographer, biggest cheerleader & hair zhuzher.

Hi, I'm Michelle! I launched Eyes of Love in 2014 and have spent the past 12 years creating warm, natural imagery for professionals, creatives, entrepreneurs and industry leaders.

I work with clients locally, interstate and internationally, bringing genuine care, intention and a keen eye for detail to every shoot. More than anything, I'm known for creating a calm, supportive and genuinely enjoyable experience where you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera. From our first conversation to shoot day, you can expect thoughtful planning, clear direction and plenty of encouragement.

Signed, Michelle

Brand Photography

You've built something extraordinary. Your imagery should reflect that.

Great brand photography does more than make you look good. It communicates your personality, builds trust and helps people understand why they should work with you. It plays a powerful role in building connection.
