My love affair with photography started in 8th grade with my first trip out of the country and a 35mm camera. Rick Springfield 's tour came through Augusta, Georgia in 1984 with Corey Hart and that was the moment my concert photography career officially began. I was just a fan in a sea of other screaming high school girls with a 35mm camera and not very good....yet. However, I did wear my sunglasses at night.
I'm a South Carolina professional photographer and drone pilot most often found covering concerts and sporting events in the South East. I studied photography at Augusta State University and am a Certified Professional Photographer through Professional Photographers of America. I've been a member of both the Georgia Professional Photographer's Association and Professional Photographers of America since 2016.
I've worked as the house photographer at the James Brown Arena and Bell Auditorium since 2017. My work can be found in national, regional and industry magazines, printed on t-shirts, album covers, and hanging around many lobbies and corporate offices from Augusta, Georgia to Chicago, Illinois. My references include musicians, promoters, publicity firms, arenas, theaters, Drag Boat and Nascar racing teams, politicians, radio stations, ad agencies, churches, and many corporate clients.
The burning desire to never forget the people, places or things that excite me is the reason you'll never see me without a camera.
“Michelle not only took these amazing photos but got them to me hours after my set. She perfectly captured the excitement of the night and was so great to work with!”
