Get to know the photographer,

 

Michelle Forstved

I've always had a very creative mind, and have always needed a creative outlet. Photography has filled that need for me and more!


Before getting into photography professionally I would take tons of pictures of my border collie, Raynor. He was a great model for me! After having my first daughter, I bought my first 'fancy' camera. She was changing every day and I wanted to make sure I didn't miss a moment! I absolutely loved taking photos of her, and found myself creating little styled 'shoots' quite often! After my second daughter arrived, my yearn to start my own photography business grew - and grew quick! I was always afraid and intimidated by the idea of starting by own business, but eventually I took the leap! I officially made Simply Smiling Photography! And now, three years and one more baby later, I am so happy I took that leap and followed my heart. Starting a business can be intimidating, but I have never looked back. I love every bit of it, and I am SO grateful to be able to meet all of these amazing people, and to get to capture their beautiful moments!


Yes, our kids do grow too fast! Don't miss out on freezing these moments in time. You won't regret it.
