Welcome, friend!
Serving in the Shenandoah Valley, Virginia, & Nation Wide
I'm Michelle,
Michelle
And I am so thrilled that you're here!
If you love to laugh, enjoy the present moment with those you love, and have a collection of photos that stir your heart without the stiffness and stress of a 'portrait session', then you've come to the right place!
I've been photographing wonderful clients for over 14 years and have turned it into a career for the past 5 years.
I'm a momma to four super cute kiddos, wife to an incredibly swell fella, and love watercolor. And I know it's so cliche, but coffee really is my favorite thing to drink...
As you look around, you'll see that I'm passionate about people, authenticity, and capturing authentic moments into photographs that light up a home.
Enough about me, though, I'd love to hear more about you! Reach out and let's talk about your vision!

I cannot recommend Em highly enough! …She is clearly blessed with a talent for capturing the beauty in relationships. Each picture we got was not only beautiful aesthetically, but also showed my favorite people’s personalities and the dynamics between them. I’m so grateful for these special photos! Thank you!
Jessica
My daughter had a senior portrait session recently with The Fresh Walk and we couldn’t be happier with the results! … We now have pictures of a beautiful sunrise and my daughter looking more comfortable and relaxed in photos then I’ve ever seen her. I’m not sure how you brought her out of her shell but you did:)
Tori
The Fresh Walk (Em Rae) is one amazing photographer! I’m blown away by the moments she captured. So many of them tugged at my heart, and a few even made me tear up. She caught so much movement, life, love and joy.
