I knew Michaela as a wedding partner – she was hired to photograph a wedding we were hosting at our hotel. I watched her work with the couple and their families. Not only was I impressed with her friendliness and attentiveness, but she was mindful of her surroundings, she was listening and she was patient. What impressed me the most, were the photographs! Oh my! I can’t describe how exited I was to see those perfect photos, capturing real moments. Highly recommend!
“Working with Michaela is truly a joy. She’s got an infectious spirit that makes you want to keep going during a shoot - and you know you’ll get amazing photos from the energy she brings. I will never work with anyone else for my photography needs. Highly HIGHLY recommend.”
—Dorothy Lawrence
“I am so happy with my decision to work with Michaela for my branding photoshoot! She was the best communicator and was so prepared on the day of our shoot. I never expected my vision to come to life the way that it did, and she made sure it happened. I don't have a ton of experience behind the camera and she made the environment feel so calm and walked me through everything. I love my photos so much, I'll cherish them forever!”
—Alesha Pounds
“I WAS ECSTATIC TO COLLABORATE WITH MICHAELA. I PULLED ALL THE LOOKS THAT SANG TO OUR PROJECT AND MY ONLY REQUEST: PROVIDE SOME CLOSE UP OF SPECIFIC ITEMS SO I COULD USE THEM FOR MARKETING PURPOSES. SHE OVER DELIVERED! I USED THE SHOTS SHE TOOK FOR EMAIL BLASTS AND SOCIAL MEDIA AND HAD SOME PRINTED UP TO HANG ON THE WALL IN MY SHOP. I HAVE AND WILL BE REQUESTING MORE SHOTS FROM MICHAELA.”
—Claire Saldana

“Michaela brings fresh talent to photography and has exposed my daughter to a world of possibilities in creativity. She also brings a bright demeanor to her classroom which makes attending class something to look forward to. As a parent, I absolutely loved asking my daughter what she was working on and couldn't wait to see the finished results. The hands-on aspect of this class was a refreshing outlet for a creative mind.”
—Chandra B
“Michaela was a breeze to work with, she is professional and really put us at ease on our big day. She worked out all the shots I wanted beforehand and anytime I said I wanted something different or new she was happy to make it work. She took all the stress of photography off of me for the big day and had a list of all my family members names so she could call them over and make sure everyone was there so I didn’t have to worry about ordering everyone around or organizing them for the photos which I LOVED.”
—Bride, Rebecca C
“My daughter and I loved working with Michaela for her senior pictures. Michaela was able to expertly capture my daughter's spirit and beauty while also putting her subject at ease during a very stressful time in my daughter's life. We loved the pictures and the time we spent with Michaela.”

“Lorraine photography made the whole process leading up the our wedding day as well as the day of comfortable and tailor made to our wants and needs. She went to great lengths to understand what style we were going for, the types of photos we wanted and was able to fit in seamlessly to the day! I highly recommend her, she is a cheerful, talented, organized, professional photographer; the only regret you would have is NOT picking her to capture your special day.”

—Bride, Lydia
“This past weekend we had Michaela do our photography for our wedding. She was not only incredibly helpful and patient all day (not to mention flexible and provided more than what was written in the contract), but sincerely a delight to work with. She responds in a timely manner and is always receptive to ideas, and maintains her composure around various groups of people. She is truly a gem and has provided more than I ever could hope for. I would have another wedding just to have her photograph again!!!”
—Bride, Niquey
