Kids grow up so fast……..
As a parent of teenagers and young adults, I understand the hectic pace of life and how swiftly time passes. It feels like just yesterday I was juggling diaper bags, maneuvering strollers into the car, and comforting a teething baby. Now, in what seems like the blink of an eye, I’m assisting them in packing their belongings and sending them off to embark on the next chapter of their life adventures
Through it all, you’ve likely captured countless moments on your phone, having hundreds of images to scroll through.
However, I have one question for you: Among all those images,
Are any of them truly print-worthy?
Our family recently had photos taken by Michelle and we couldn’t be more pleased with the whole process. Michelle suggested a beautiful location, was super friendly and easy to work with, showed wonderful creativity in poses and styles and made family photos with four teens into an enjoyable evening. The picture quality was amazing! Thanks, Michelle DenBak Photography, for our treasured family photos.

Through custom wall portraits, you can decorate your home with personalized artwork that holds significant meaning to you and your family.
I love the canvas hanging on my wall! The entire process of selecting the image and determining the sizes was simple and straightforward and now I have this beautiful wall art that I can’t stop looking at in my home.

It’s as easy as 1…2…3…4
With four children, I’ve experienced my fair share of challenges when it comes to family photos. I understand the effort required to get all your kids, simultaneously, to smile and cooperate—it’s no easy task. Add a pet and a husband who isn’t fond of photos, and it becomes a recipe for potential disaster.
Allow me to alleviate the stress from your family session! As a very different photographer from all others in the area, I will guide you through every step. I will guide you in selecting outfits, choosing the perfect location for your session, help determine the ideal placement of wall art in your home, and guiding you in selecting portrait sizes and framing options. I will deliver the finished art work to your home and help with the hanging process. This is the ultimate boutique experience and I am super excited to serve you and your family!
I am very happy with the photos that Michelle took of our family. We ended up having to push back the time that we had scheduled because of the weather and she was very accommodating. We had so many excellent pictures to choose from which is pretty amazing considering we have 10 grandchildren ages 4 and under. Thank you so much!
