About Michelle Miner Photography

The truth is, anyone can take a decent picture, but I’m here to take the kind you’ll still care about in 20 years. I photograph real connection, warm color, and the moments that slip by way too fast: the hand squeezes, the in-between glances, and the personalities. These aren’t “smile and hope for the best” sessions. They’re honest, heirloom-quality portraits that let you bottle this season exactly as it feels. So someday, when life looks different, you’ll have proof of how beautifully you loved each other right now I studied photography at the New York Film Academy, but my approach has been shaped just as much by life outside the classroom—by motherhood, creative work, and years of learning how to really see people. I believe great photography isn’t about perfect lighting or poses. I specialize in families, intimate gatherings, and warm, natural portraits. But no matter what I’m capturing, I try to turn each session into something more than a photo shoot. We might pop a bottle of champagne, bring a dog from the local shelter, or rent bikes to ride around together. These are the kinds of sessions that feel like memories in the making—not just for the camera, but for you. Outside of client work, I’m a mom, a lifelong dog lover, and a proud rescue advocate. I regularly use my camera to help shelter dogs find forever homes—because being seen can change everything. My sessions are easy, intentional, and human. No pressure, no over-styling—just space for you to show up and feel at ease. If that sounds like your kind of experience, I’d love to work together

My wife and I absolutely loved working with Michelle. An extremely talented photographer that went above and beyond our wildest expectations from start to finish In the build up to our event, Michelle was extremely communicative and proactive without being a “Nuisance” and always seemed to asked the right questions to unlock what we wanted to get out of our photos During our time with Michelle she worked with us well, was very helpful at moving us, posing us, and setting the scene - and did so with a great personality our families loved 10/10 experience
