Hi, I’m Michelle Lindsay—photographer, small business owner, solo traveller, dragon-boater, and proud mum and wife.
I’ve always had a camera in my hands. As a kid, I used to snap photos of my sisters with a little point-and-shoot, not knowing that one day, photography would become such a big part of my life. Years later, while exploring the breathtaking landscapes of the Peruvian Andes, I found myself falling in love with photography all over again—this time, with more intention. That experience pushed me to take a leap and study photography formally here in Canada. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve made.
Today, I specialise in headshots, brand photography, business portraits, and commercial product work. With a background in Marketing and Graphic Design, I bring more than just technical skill to the table. I approach every shoot with a creative eye and a deeper understanding of how images communicate your story, your personality, and your brand. But where I truly feel at home is behind the camera, connecting with people.
I believe the best photos come from a place of comfort and trust. Whether you’re stepping in front of the camera for the first time or the fiftieth, my goal is always the same: to make you feel at ease, to show you at your most natural and confident, and to create images that feel honest and true to who you are.
When I’m not in the studio, you’ll probably find me chasing sunsets, paddling on the water with my dragon boat team, or planning my next solo adventure. I’m naturally a bit introverted, but clients often say that my easygoing nature and sense of humour help make the whole process feel more relaxed—which is exactly how I like it.
Photography isn’t just my career; it’s part of who I am. I’m grateful every day to be able to do this work, and I look forward to helping you see yourself through my lens—authentically, confidently, and beautifully.

“We had the pleasure of working with Michelle over the past year and we are very glad that we did. Michelle worked on a few product photography projects for us and they were amazing!
With limited to no direction from us, Michelle used her creativity to come up with some great product shots which our clients loved as well! We would definitely recommend Michelle for her photography and videography and we look forward to continue working with her.

"This photographer is worth your time and investment! Michelle has completed a few projects for me and I couldn’t be more satisfied. Her innate talent, creativity and sound sense of organisation would already be enough to do a good job. But Michelle has taken her passion to the next level with a "reboot" of everything photography by graduating from an intense photography program, putting her in the perfect position to tackle amazing new work with confidence. Highly recommend this talented photographer and can’t wait to hire her for my next project!"

"I have worked with Michelle on various projects for my business, both photography and videography. I have an incredible portfolio of yoga shots for my business and social media from Michelle. She is so adept with the technical aspects of photography which I depend on. The video creation and editing for my YouTube channel is so professional and she somehow makes me look good! I really enjoy Michelle’s creativity and her cool ideas are always welcome. Her strong point is brand photography. I feel that this is where she comes into her own. Only pure talent can give you that kind of edge. I cannot wait to see what’s next!"
