I’m a 23-year-old photographer serving in Ocala, Florida and surrounding areas like Gainesville, Orlando, and Tampa. First and foremost, I’m a follower of Christ. My ultimate goal in life is to glorify God in everything I do and to share the Gospel wherever I go.

 

I started photography in 2014 at 11 years old. What began as a dream turned into a business when I launched Photography by Michelly in 2019. Since then, I’ve had the joy of capturing weddings, families, seniors, newborns, and couples!

 

I was homeschooled and graduated with a Bachelor of Science in Liberal Arts from Excelsior College at age 16. In January 2024, I married the love of my life, and we welcomed our first child, Elliott, in July 2025!

 

When I’m not behind the camera, you can find me taking care of my new little one, remodeling our home, playing piano, trying something new in the kitchen, jet-skiing on our lake, or spending time with my 10 younger siblings.

 

I specialize in capturing families, kids, couples, seniors, and weddings - focusing on affordable, lasting memories. If you’re anywhere around Central Florida and you're looking for someone who will approach your story with care, creativity, and a joyful heart, I’d love to work with you!
