Get ready for the most FUN and stress-free family photo experience EVER!
Kids think I'm all kinds of cool.
And moms (+ even the dads) think I must have magical powers of some sort.
Because everyone walks away smiling... for REAL.
HERE'S WHY:
My photo sessions are actually FUN... with less posing and more PLAY! We'll come up with a Pandora playlist (because music makes everything better), play a few games with the kids, and I'll give your family lots of things to DO... so that instead of forced smiles and awkward poses, your genuine love and affection SHINES THROUGH. Yes, I'll be posing you a little bit along the way to make sure we get some classic shots you'll love. But I promise that you'll love the results (and pinkie promise to SHOW you the back of my camera along the way so you can SEE how awesome your family really is)!

Think of this as a "deconstructed album." It's great for those who want a collection of images, but aren't quite "album people." The Keepsake Wood Box is incredibly versatile because you can easily frame the prints, store them in the box as a keepsake item, or gift a few to family members.
Includes a keepsake wood box and one 5x7 loose print of each image from your session.
Keepsake Wood Box + prints - $299

You can even SKIP the framing process altogether by adding a 3M velcro strip to the back of each print to create a modern pop-out wall collage of your very own.

Hey there! I'm Michelle... the one behind the camera.
Sooo... why book an experience with ME? Because I'm more than just a photographer.
With my degree in psychology and years spent working in children's group homes + art camps, I've learned to instantly connect with a range of personalities and work with all sorts of moods. I work hard so that you don't have to... creating the most stress-free and FUN experience from start to finish, including session planning, how to get the entire family excited, and even tips on what to DO with your photos AFTER you have them.
Long story short: The camera has been an extension of my hand for most of my life, and I've been running The Suitcase Studio for nearly 10 years now... providing FUN + stress-free photo experiences for the adventurous, authentic and AWESOME.
And I still use my psychology training and insight on each + every photo shoot as I calm the nerves of parents, maneuver kids out of meltdown mode, and help everyone connect in the most genuine of ways.
I see you the way your loved ones see you; quirks and all. And we celebrate that uniqueness, together. HOW? By creating a FUN photo experience for all involved (cross my heart). Yes, we'll be taking pictures. But by the end of it, I swear you'll forget I have the camera in my hand. So let's PLAY!
Servicing Bend, Oregon + surrounding areas, with destination sessions available in Southern California a few times each year, and nationwide upon request. On my days off, you'll find me wandering the trails with my trusty sidekick (mini wienerdog), chilling at a local brewery, or geeking out to the latest Marvel movie.
Contact me with any any questions or if you're interested in learning about OTHER session types available!
