"Your first breath took ours away."
Elegant, timeless images of the moments that matter most.

Hello, I’m Michelle – a specialist in newborn and wedding photography, based in Rayleigh, Essex. If you’re looking for someone to beautifully capture your maternity journey or the precious early days of your baby’s life, you’re in the right place.

My passion for photography began with the birth of our first daughter. Like many new parents, I wanted to hold on to those fleeting, magical moments – the tiny fingers, sleepy smiles, and quiet cuddles – and that’s when I picked up my camera for the first time with purpose. Since then, photography has become more than a passion; it’s become a way for me to tell your story through artistic, heartfelt imagery.

I’m married to an amazing man who has supported me every step of the way, and together we’re raising two wonderful children who inspire me every day.

From a young age, I’ve had a creative spirit and an eye for detail. I studied art throughout my life, expressing myself through painting and drawing before finding my true calling behind the lens. My artistic background is at the heart of every image I create, blending emotion, creativity, and timeless elegance.

My goal is simple: to create beautiful, meaningful artwork that you and your family will treasure for generations. These aren’t just photographs – they’re lifelong memories.

Thank you so much for visiting. I hope you enjoy browsing through my gallery, and if you feel I’m the right photographer for you, I’d love to hear from you.

Warm regards,
Michelle Aubé
