POP-UP PORTRAIT SESSIONS
Throughout the year Michelle hosts a series of portrait pop-ups in thoughtfully selected spaces across Northland, NZ.
Each date is released with a limited number of sessions, allowing the experience to remain intentional, focused, and personal.
Photographed in a either a studio setting or a pop-up studio set in central vacant tenancies or community halls, each session is guided and intentionally styled, allowing space for natural connection and personality to unfold. An editorial perspective shapes the final images, resulting in portraits that feel refined, natural, and quietly elevated without appearing posed.
For families, Michelle begins photographing the family as a whole, creating a sense of ease and closeness. From there, individual portraits and smaller groupings are created as time allows. For maternity, motherhood, and milestone sessions, the pace remains relaxed, allowing softness, movement, and subtle expression to emerge naturally. And for solo portraits or brand headshots Michelle, works with you to create a variety of poses and compositions.
