Hello there rock star. My name is Michelle LaVigne.

Some things about me:

I have my Master’s degree from the University of Illinois in journalism. I was a photojournalist for 10 years with the Sun-Times Media Group in the Chicago burbs. 

With my background as a photojournalist I am well trained in the art of moment-capturing.

I am a writer, 

a sunshine enthusiast 

a bibliophile, 

and a big supporter of laughing without reservations.

I am a fan of exercise, 

nature, 

avocados, 

digging in the dirt, 

clever words,

animals,

deep breathing 

and deep stretching, 

high fives.

And I laugh.

A lot.


I specialize in preserving moments.

and I sincerely.

Honestly.

Want you to have those special-to-you moments forever. 

In an album, on your homescreen, or your phone, or printed out.

This is why I do this.
