My approach

I make sure you look like yourself (looking as great as possible) and that the end results are unique, standout images that are representative of who you are. My style is editorial, honest and elevated so the images feel less posed and more naturalistic. For my indoor shoots, I avoid standard bland studio spaces and instead opt for real interiors that feel lived in and allow us to explore more.

Let's have fun

Even actors get a little shy when the stills camera comes out. I know how to put you at ease, so sessions stay relaxed and fun, and people consistently leave surprised by how much they enjoyed it.

What clients say

I had an incredible experience with the photoshoot. Michelia is a true artist. Her work has true depth; she was able to capture so many sides of my authentic self!

Olga Katkova, actor

The shoot itself went smoothly and Michelia was very flexible. She makes the process fun. I’m convinced her photos have helped me grab the attention of directors and producers.

Francis Cox, actor

I had a blast at the headshot day and she made me feel so calm and relaxed. The pictures turned out gorgeous. And I’m super glad I went with Michelia to do my new headshots!
