Photography That Roams
Dogs. Soulful spaces. Saltwater freedom.
Welcome

I’m Michelle—a seasoned photographer and traveller, drawn to character, connection, and the great outdoors. After a creative detour, I’ve returned to photography.
I love—capturing moments that matter with warmth, wit, and the occasional splash of sand, fur, or sea spray.
With 20+ years of experience and a relaxed, intuitive style, I photograph dogs in their element, surf schools in motion, boats on the breeze, and soulful spaces that deserve to be
seen and remembered.
Let’s create meaningful images that feel true to you
and full of life.

Awww, Michelle, the pictures are beautiful. I never realised there was such sadness in his little eyes, it melts my heart. You have a real talent for this. These are amazing.

Bristol Water, Marketing Dept
“Michelle played a key role in capturing our Water Bars across Bristol as part of her work with Refill. She was fantastic with the public, bringing out the best in every shot, and her images were bright, clear, and full of energy. We used them widely across our communications,. She later went on to photograph our CEO and team at Head Office, delivering the same high-quality results.”

They are just fantastic! My family were very impressed. I’ll go though and sort out the most like ones (it will be tricky we love them all!)

She has shot for us in Knightsbridge and other high-end locations across London and Essex, perfectly capturing the magic of our bespoke Christmas decorations. Her images elevate our brand, making our work stand out on our website and social media. Professional, creative, and a joy to collaborate with.”

“I've had the privilege of working with many photographers, but Michelle is my favorite. She has a keen eye for the best angles, brings creative ideas to every shoot, and makes the whole process enjoyable.

Wedding Photography, Newcastle Upon Tyne
Our wedding was all about us. If anyone was unhappy with the arrangements, well they could just take a running jump. We had no hesitation in asking Michelle to do our wedding photographs because we knew she understood what we wanted. Every single photo captured our family and friends looking happy and natural.

Property and Lifestyle Shoots, Portugal
I like Michelle’s style of taking pictures. We asked her to work for our surf school, bed and breakfast and also when I was pregnant. I have a specific idea of what I think is a beautiful picture. Michelle suits that idea. It’s very comfortable for me working with her, because I know I like the result. We did some shoots on the beach. She knew about the tides and when the sun was best for the light.
Her pictures are beautiful, natural and original.

Property Photogrpahy, Portugal
It’s so rare in this day and age for someone to be as thorough as you were. I was amazed that you spent a whole day shooting a 2 bed apartment but when you get the results you can see why you are such a perfectionist and that how well that extra effort and dressing of the rooms really pays off.
Rentals on the apartment have gone through the roof and so many people comment on how amazing ours looks on the pictures online. -
Wedding Photography, Portugal
“Not only did our wedding photographs look amazing but you made the day special.
You were friendly, professional, patient and took us to some beautiful places. We often look at our wedding photographs and are immediately taken back to that incredible day. You managed to capture how perfect it was.”Natasha & Susan

Marike Borst. MB Services, Portugal
“Michelle is a great photographer with an excellent eye for detail. Her professional pictures turn the marketing of my rental properties into a big success and are the key to many bookings. When it comes to people photography, Michelle seems to have a sixth sense for catching the right moment, a true artist and a pleasure to work with”

Arrifana Surf Lodge, Portugal
Michelle photographed us when our surf school was in its infancy, and those early images really helped shape our brand. It’s obvious she’s a trained portrait photographer—she captured natural, relaxed shots of our team, plus funny and candid moments on the beach that showed what we’re all about. Her timing was spot-on thanks to her surf knowledge.
The photos were bright, full of life, and helped bring in a wave of new bookings. The images on our website are newer now—but hers are still some of our favourites. -
Algarve Adventre
Michelle brought so much energy to our surf school. She didn’t just capture epic action shots—she caught the funny beach moments, the real connection between guests and coaches, and even portraits of our team that actually felt like us. Her surf knowledge meant perfect timing, even with waves in the background of beach scenes. The photos were bright, fun, and full of life—we used them across all our channels and saw a big boost in interest and bookings.

Portrait Session, Singapour
Michelle captured something really special for us—a moment in time we’ll always treasure. She photographed our two daughters in Singapore, in locations that meant so much to us while we were living there. The images tell the story of that chapter in our lives, when the kids were little and everything felt like an adventure. Her portraits were thoughtful, natural, and full of feeling. We’re so glad we have these memories now—they’ve become some of our most cherished photos.

Casa Linda, Portugal
When I bought my Villa, the photos on the website were dull and boring.
I struggled to get bookings.
Now after Michelle worked her magic, it is vibrant and inviting.
I received emails from customers, saying how nice it is and do I have any vacancies, and one year on it’s always fully booked. Thank you! -
Atlantic Riders
Michelle totally nailed it. Back when our surf school was still pretty new, she joined us as we travelled down the coast each week—from Porto to the Algarve—capturing every part of the journey in video and surf and life style shots in images. She shot not just the surfing, but the campsite, the drives, the dinners… Her timing was perfect, both in and out of the water, and the videos and photos became a huge part of the experience. Friday night viewings turned into a season highlight, giving our guests something unique.
