While I do give my clients the digital images from their sessions, my wish for you is that you can hold these images in your hands now. You can bring your little one close at night. She's donning her footie pajamas and asking for a story. So you tell her the story of the day she met you face-to-face, and you flip through her birth storybook.
She keeps asking you to go back to that photo of her tiny little baby butt because, you know. Michelle is truly a magical photographer who's presence only enhances the birth experience with her quiet love and support and eyes of encouragement. We had Michelle capture photos during our first birth and are lucky enough to experience it again in just a couple months with our second.

Michelle is truly a master at her craft! We did a shoot shortly after welcoming our second baby into the world along with our 23 month old daughter. Michelle was very personable, professional and made us feel at ease. When we received our gallery it was obvious how creative and amazing her work is! We will definitely treasure these photos forever.

Michelle does an amazing job! We have used her for both the birth of my son and now our daughter, and her work is just beautiful. Not only that but she is so patient and calm during the session. Newborns tend to have a mind of their own, but it never feels like there is a time limit to the session. Michelle comes to your home, helps your family feel comfortable and cherished, and then captures the most beautiful moments. I am lucky to have found her and have her photograph my family twice!

Positive: Professionalism, Quality, Responsiveness
Michelle was so easy to work with and handled our little one with such gentleness and care. She was responsive, professional, and even helped us select/rent a photo shoot location since we were in a temporary living situation at the time of our newborn photos! The pictures turned out great, and I highly recommend Michelle.

We did my maternity and the in-home newborn photoshoot with Michelle. It was a great experience working with her. She is professional at her work and makes a comfort zone for people around resulting in beautiful pictures. Michelle is a very talented photographer who gives her best shot at every picture she clicks. Taking pictures and making people look happy and beautiful is not only her work, it is also her passion. I would love to work with her in the future. I highly recommend her.

I've admired Michelle's work for years! When I found out I was pregnant, I jokingly asked my husband if we could move back to the front range just so Michelle could be there when our daughter arrived... crazy pregnant lady thoughts I know, but she's that good. After our baby came, life got more complicated, but I still wanted Michelle to photograph our little family, so I reached out to arrange a family session. I was nervous we would look silly in her amazing pictures because of my inability to color coordinate, but she even provided a style guide that helped us prep for our session. On the day

Michelle has an incredible and unique ability to make everyone she works with feel at ease and comfortable in whatever surroundings they are in and that includes while you labor and birth a baby. She is so incredibly kind and patient. I honestly forgot she was even in the room until we saw the photos. She captured the birth of our son, his newborn photos and our first family photo session. We adore Michelle and the amazing moments she has captured of our little family. We hope to continue having her capture those important milestones as our family grows up.

We had Michelle take our “Fresh 48” which turned into an in home newborn session due to hospital visitor restrictions. The photos of our baby are absolute magic. She is kind and gentle- exactly who you would want taking your photograph during the fragile first days after birth. We will cherish the photos that she captured forever. They are stunning. I cannot recommend her enough.

Michelle Garey Photography was everything we could have ever wanted and more in a maternity photographer! Michelle was easy to reach and communicate with, very professional and even accommodated our location, which was a bit further than her normal shoots. I would absolutely recommend Michelle to anyone looking for natural, soft and airy, beautiful photos! We are so happy with the final product and will definitely be calling her again when our baby arrives!

I knew I wanted Michelle to photograph our birth before I was even pregnant! Her work is so beautiful. I met with her once I became pregnant and she was an absolute joy to work with. Michelle has a calm and caring energy about her. She is so easy to talk to and truly want to support you during your birth as well as get you the images you want.
Unfortunately, our birth didn't quite go as planned and Michelle showed up right after the baby was born ( I take the blame for that)! But she was so kind to hang around and photograph us, the baby and room after the birth. She ended up doing a newborn shoot
