Because Time Won’t Slow Down… But Photos Keep your Memories Close.

The moments you’ll never get back

Let's Start Planning

You’re always the one behind the camera, smoothing flyaways, adjusting tiny buttons, wrangling schedules, and making sure everyone else is okay.

But one day, they’ll go looking for you... They’ll pull out an old album, fingers skimming over worn pages, searching for how you hugged them so they can remember that feeling. The way only you knew what to do.

Let’s make sure they find what they’re looking for.

You don’t need a perfect house. Or an ideal body. Or perfectly behaved kids. You just need to show up. And I’ll take care of the rest, guiding you every step of the way, helping you feel comfortable, beautiful, and seen. From the way I pose you to the way I edit, you’ll recognize yourself in the best way, the way they already do.

Effortless sessions. Genuine moments.
Photographs that will mean more with every passing year.

Testimonial

From One Mom to Another...

Totally love my experience with Michelle, she was really nice and friendly. My family and I loved how the pictures turned out. Great quality and experience! I highly recommend Michelle Cece Photography! If you are looking for a photographer; Michelle is your way to GO don't even think twice.

Photos That Already Feel Like Home

Love candid moments but also a classic smiling shot?

(And yes, I’ll help you in what to do with your hands!)

Book Your Experience

Show me your work

You can have both. I’ll guide you with a slight shifting, a well-placed hand, and the kind of laugh that makes you forget you’re even being photographed.

Not sure what to wear?

We’ll figure it out together. A home style consultation makes outfit planning effortless, and professional hair and makeup is complementary for that extra “oh wow, I look amazing” moment.

Not everyone thrilled about photos?

I get it. That is why I work with personalities, not against them. Some need space, distraction or a little time (or even a snack!).

THE MICHELLE CECE
EXPERIENCE

A location that feels like you.. Studio, home, or outdoors, wherever feels right, we will create beautiful, lasting memories that are uniquely yours..

Working with me is a personal experience! I take the time to get to know you and your family, so we can create photos that you’ll truly love and cherish.

Your Effortless Experience Awaits

Enjoy complementary professional hair and makeup, so you feel pampered, confident, and absolutely gorgeous.

Most days, my camera is in my hands more than my car keys, coffee cup, or phone. Though let’s be honest, coffee is a close second.

I know you want frame worthy photos where everyone looks happy and relaxed, but if your life is anything like mine, getting everyone in one place feels impossible.

My husband smiles like he just left the oven on. The kids? Their agenda rarely includes a photo shoot. And you? You are probably just hoping to get through it without feeling awkward or over posing.

That is where I come in. With over a decade of experience, I know how to take the pressure off, guide you effortlessly, and turn even the most chaotic moments into something beautiful.

I will probably leave with grass stains, and you will leave with photos you cannot stop staring at. Bonus points if your kid brings a great knock knock joke. I am ready!
