The Mariposa Studio difference is that we think you're the most important person in this experience. Our initial consultation starts the process of creating something that you will love, that is perfect and beautiful and will be loved and displayed proudly. No sales pitch, no pressure, just a lovely conversation to see if we can create something that you will treasure for a lifetime.
And if that sounds like a great idea, you can get started right away, by booking your no-cost, no-obligation appointment to talk with us! We've replaced the "portrait consultation" with a guided process of discovering what's beautiful and meaningful in your life. We take what we've discovered and craft it into a custom experience centered around what you love the most.

I know every bio on every photography page is supposed to say how passionate the photographer is about photography, but I'm not. I enjoy photography. I'm very good at it. I've had a lot of education. I've been doing it for a long time, and it has been a blessing to me for more than 20 years now. Even pet photography is about people, about the people who love their fur babies, about the people who will miss them when they are gone.
Whether you're seeking business personal branding photos, intimate couples photography, family photos or pet photos, we want you to have an experience that is worthy of your amazing life and relationships. We start by learning what you love and treasure the most about everyone we will be photographing.
2. We design our photo shoot around what you've told us, to capture the expressions and feelings that mean something. 3. We sit down with you almost immediately after the session to view the photos and decide which ones you love, then create your personalized artwork from ONLY those photos. You leave our studio happy, having purchased only what you love and are proud to display in your home!
We absolutely love the shots you were able to capture and can't wait to hang our favorites on our wall! It was such a pleasure to work with you! You captured each moment so naturally and we were surprised at every viewing to see such amazing shots. You were great with Ellie (our dog) as well and got her with such expression.
A session to celebrate love, whether it's new or seasoned! Whether you are newly engaged, celebrating an important anniversary, welcoming a new family member, or simply want to re-ignite that flame, Forever Sessions will bring you closer and give you time to celebrate what makes your love special! Every family deserves to be celebrated!

Long story short, we paid $40 at a fall event to get a photo shoot and $250 worth of pet photography. We had them taken on 10/30. The photographer engaged in high sales tactics and wanted us to purchase our prints THAT afternoon. I didn't feel well, didn't have a good idea of sizes/wall space available in our home, and so we declined. We then scheduled another date to go over the prints with her. Another long story short, my spouse had a work requirement he couldn't get out of, so we cancelled. We tried calling her and telling her the photos and the sizes we want. She wouldn&apos

I first met Michelle when she did my portraits last year. Michelle was professional, friendly, and just overall wonderful to work with. I loved my portraits so much that I hired her to do a bridal shoot in July 2017 for our new wedding venue. The photos were amazing. Next, I had her create my professional head shot. Last month I took my daughter to her for a professional photo shoot for her sweet 16th birthday. The photos are gorgeous! I love all of the work Michelle has done for us and will plan on future family and business sessions with her!

A few months ago, Michelle did some fantastic photo of my lab Roux. Roux is an older dog who sometimes gets nervous with new situations. He loved Michelle & she was able to get some great shots. The final product was amazing. Everyone who comes to my office is just blown away with how creative they are. Great experience!

I have recently had my first family session with Michelle and I could not be more thrilled with the outcome!!! I have had a fear of being in front of the camera for many different reason; weight, looks, and being disabled to name a few. After talking with Michelle she was able to comfort me and show me that even though what I saw was "flawed" that my son and loved ones saw as beauty. Michelle talked with me at length about my son and really got to know him. It was as if she knew how I felt in my heart towards him and what I truly love about him. Michelle even took the time to talk to my fiancĂ
