It may seem like a difficult task to find reliable family, pet and baby photographers in Melbourne that have the skill, patience and dedication required. As an award-winning photographer and the owner of Captured Hearts Photography, Michelle takes the time needed to capture stunning portraits during a relaxed newborn photoshoot, baby photoshoot or pet photoshoot. She is also very passionate about making the whole experience enjoyable for you and your family!
Michelle’s passion for photography began at the age of just 15. After studying photography at university, she enjoyed a career in the film industry spanning nearly 15 years before making a career change to a portrait photographer. Her love for new born photography and family photography was naturally reinforced with the birth of her son in 2018!
Michelle is particularly passionate about photographing babies within their first year. Beginning a family of her own encouraged her passion for new born photos, but also allowed her to watch and capture her children’s milestones throughout their whole first year. This really ignited a commitment to provide parents with a memorable baby photoshoot, creating stunning portraits that they can treasure forever!
The Importance Of Newborn & Baby Sessions
Babies grow and change so fast in that first year, and life goes by so quickly yet your love grows stronger every day! A newborn baby photoshoot allows you to capture the tiny details and first memories of your baby, but as they quickly grow and change it’s so precious to capture their milestones and emerging cheeky personality! Whilst this time seems to fly past, professional photographs allow you to freeze this hectic time in your life so you can enjoy these memories for a lifetime. This is the reason why Melbourne newborn photographer Michelle loves her job so much! She genuinely feels privileged to be asked into your lives to capture this special time and leave you with baby photos that you will treasure forever. Having these memories for your baby when they grow older is also just as special for them as it is for you!
Helen, (Rowville VIC)
“It's daunting having a photo session with three little munchkins - any meltdown could happen anytime. But, we enjoyed the experience and were relieved that they were all well-behaved, and the session was a success. Thanks to Michelle, she was very professional and patient, not only during the day but throughout the whole process. We were delighted with how the photos turned out! And when we hung them on our wall, they looked even more brilliant. She has thought through every step of the way and makes the process a breeze. I will recommend her anytime!”
Samantha, (Point Cook VIC)
Michelle is absolutely brilliant to deal with and is truly fantastic at handling both newborns and dogs. The photos we have are gorgeous, we’ve had so many comments on how lovely they are and we will treasure them for a lifetime. She was very experienced at managing our baby boy and she was incredibly patient with our Australian Shepherd. Would highly recommend Michelle for newborn or family photos, especially if you want to include your fur children!”
