IMAGES FOR ECLECTIC SOULS
Destination Photographer based out of Columbus GA with 18 years of photography experience.
I create images you'll FANGIRL over. That gasping, heart stopping moment where you have to hold onto something or you might float away because you can't believe that's you kind of images.

" Every single picture looks like how the day felt: whimsical, dreamy, and full of laughter and love."
-Abigail Serrano
My style is a mix between documentary and cinematic. I'm deeply inspired by traditional 35mm film like I learned in my Bachelor of Fine Arts program and editorial wedding magazines.
My husband is not only my best Friend but my business partner as well. He works full time doing video for the Army. But on the weekends he's my 2nd shooter and my absolute muse. I love photographing love stories because of him and how well he nurtures my soul.
Here's what you should know about michelle:
No Seriously I am a beginner bee keeper and avid bird watcher. But....I also love imagery that evokes feelings of desire and sensuality. I think women should be allowed to express that in a healthy way.
I'm a classically trained fine art photographer.
I care about the birds + the bees
I'm Obsessed with my husband
I have a Master's degree in Counseling and a Masters Certificate in executive coaching. Big feelings are not scary to me - in fact I welcome them. That's why my clients feel so comfortable with me. I'm going to make you feel comfortable-THEN hype you up so you can see how incredible your existence is.
I'm also a life coach + Your ULTIMATE hype woman

Love notes FROM HAPPY CLIENTS
"I felt comfortable with them, even though my partner and I are not comfortable in front of a camera."
I am so glad we booked Michelle and Brandon for our wedding day!
Michelle was so intentional in capturing moments that meant a lot to us... You will not regret booking this team.

"Every single picture looks like how the day felt: whimsical, dreamy, and full of laughter and love."
"Michelle was an absolute joy to have capture our wedding day!
When we initially booked her we were so impressed by her portfolio and professionalism, but we never imagined the pure magic she would create on our engagement shoot and wedding day".
She was incredibly kind and patient, and went above and beyond in every way possible. We are so thankful for these photos that we will enjoy for a lifetime. We seriously cannot recommend her enough.
The Serrano's
"You get a hype team like no other"
“I will highly recommend Cirrus Gold Creative Company to all!
For their price you get far more than a pose. You get an amazing power couple who love what they do. You get great coaching and supportiveness from them. You make phenomenal friends with their outstanding positive energy.
They were able to deal with the chaos of my family and adapt with the hectic time management of the wedding venue!
They went above and beyond for us! I can’t say thank you enough!”
The Kelly's
"Literally the best wedding photographer in Columbus Georgia. OBSESSED."
I would recommend to anyone without even thinking about it.
She was fantastic and helped us so much with set up, clean up, had great suggestions for pictures, and I loved that she doesn’t overly pose you.
She was patient and so much fun to work with and hang out with.
The Padgett's
"They were fun and they definitely made us feel like we had just invited another friend to the wedding"
They captured the story we wanted to share through a creative but still naturalistic aspect with both our engagement photos and elopement to the mountains. I literally cried like a baby when I opened the package.
We would recommend them over and over again to anyone who wanted to do an elopement or even a more formal type of wedding!
