I am not surprised or easily impressed, ever! (I know this can be a bad thing at times) But let me introduce @bymichaelabeach I have been developing my brand over the last few years and not until I met her, did I truly feel that what I envisioned could ACTUALLY be a reality. She is an artist, a visionary, a master at her skill and she’s incredibly genuine. I can only thank the stars above for aligning the both of us to work together. Last week was pure bliss watching my dream, turn into a reality…and I owe the BIGGEST thank yous to Micheala! BOOK HER, I promise you will not regret it!

I knew Michaela as a wedding partner – she was hired to photograph a wedding we were hosting at our hotel. I watched her work with the couple and their families. Not only was I impressed with her friendliness and attentiveness, but she was mindful of her surroundings, she was listening and she was patient. What impressed me the most, were the photographs! Oh my! I can’t describe how exited I was to see those perfect photos, capturing real moments. Highly recommend!

A 6  experience!! Michaela is such a talented photographer and makes everyone feel at ease. We did our engagement photos with Michaela initially and I was so surprised with the outcome. She makes anyone photogenic— it’s genuinely an art. When our wedding rolled around, I knew Michaela would do an amazing job, but she far exceeded my expectations. She felt like a close friend the whole time (and still does). We were able to enjoy our wedding without feeling like we were being photographed for hours. The sneak peek photos alone were well worth booking Michaela so we cannot wait for the final gallery.

Book her— you’ll be forever grateful!

Working with Michaela is truly a joy. She’s got an infectious spirit that makes you want to keep going during a shoot - and you know you’ll get amazing photos from the energy she brings. I will never work with anyone else for my photography needs. Highly HIGHLY recommend.

I am so happy with my decision to work with Michaela for my branding photoshoot! She was the best communicator and was so prepared on the day of our shoot. I never expected my vision to come to life the way that it did, and she made sure it happened. I don't have a ton of experience behind the camera and she made the environment feel so calm and walked me through everything. I love my photos so much, I'll cherish them forever!

I WAS ECSTATIC TO COLLABORATE WITH MICHAELA. I PULLED ALL THE LOOKS THAT SANG TO OUR PROJECT AND MY ONLY REQUEST: PROVIDE SOME CLOSE UP OF SPECIFIC ITEMS SO I COULD USE THEM FOR MARKETING PURPOSES. SHE OVER DELIVERED! I USED THE SHOTS SHE TOOK FOR EMAIL BLASTS AND SOCIAL MEDIA AND HAD SOME PRINTED UP TO HANG ON THE WALL IN MY SHOP. I HAVE AND WILL BE REQUESTING MORE SHOTS FROM MICHAELA.

We had the pleasure of working with Michaela at one of our recent events at the Tuscan Hall & Veranda Room. She has a true natural talent for photography, and she was able to capture just fabulous and artistic images. She is an absolute joy to work with.

Michaela Beach/Lorraine Photography is a fearless, compassionate, creative photographer. When I contacted her with my vision for photography for my boutique real estate firm, she was willing to expand her portfolio of business to accommodate me. Besides being professional, she is delightful to work with.

Angie Zalewski

We had an excellent photo shoot with Michaela! In addition to the planned pictures, she was able to capture candid shots of our family members while they were standing around and visiting. Those were some of the sweetest pictures of the portfolio. She has an excellent eye for composition. We highly recommend her.

Michaela Beach - Lorraine Photography is seriously one of the most talented and a treasure of a human being you will ever meet. I am so thankful to play a part in her magic.

Michaela brings fresh talent to photography and has exposed my daughter to a world of possibilities in creativity. She also brings a bright demeanor to her classroom which makes attending class something to look forward to. As a parent, I absolutely loved asking my daughter what she was working on and couldn't wait to see the finished results. The hands-on aspect of this class was a refreshing outlet for a creative mind.

Bride, Rebecca C

Michaela was a breeze to work with, she is professional and really put us at ease on our big day. She worked out all the shots I wanted beforehand and anytime I said I wanted something different or new she was happy to make it work. She took all the stress of photography off of me for the big day and had a list of all my family members names so she could call them over and make sure everyone was there so I didn’t have to worry about ordering everyone around or organizing them for the photos which I LOVED.

My daughter and I loved working with Michaela for her senior pictures. Michaela was able to expertly capture my daughter's spirit and beauty while also putting her subject at ease during a very stressful time in my daughter's life. We loved the pictures and the time we spent with Michaela.

Groom, Joshua C

Lorraine photography made the whole process leading up the our wedding day as well as the day of comfortable and tailor made to our wants and needs. She went to great lengths to understand what style we were going for, the types of photos we wanted and was able to fit in seamlessly to the day! I highly recommend her, she is a cheerful, talented, organized, professional photographer; the only regret you would have is NOT picking her to capture your special day.

Bride, Lydia

Michaela is the best!!! We are in love with our wedding photos. She helped everything go by quickly and smoothly, and on top of it all she is the sweetest soul!! We got lucky with her!

Bride, Niquey

This past weekend we had Michaela do our photography for our wedding. She was not only incredibly helpful and patient all day (not to mention flexible and provided more than what was written in the contract), but sincerely a delight to work with. She responds in a timely manner and is always receptive to ideas, and maintains her composure around various groups of people. She is truly a gem and has provided more than I ever could hope for. I would have another wedding just to have her photograph again!!!

"We were so excited to book Michaela to shoot our wedding once we saw her previous photoshoots, and that was the best choice we could’ve made! Michaela is so sweet and so easy to connect with right off the bat. She made time to meet with us and really get to know our story and was very accommodating to the wedding schedule. She became an amazing friend and I loved having her capture and be part of one of the greatest days of my life. She was so organized in creating a shot list and agenda for the day of and was my hype girl all throughout the day."

"Michaela made the whole photography process feel fun! She was mindful of how uncomfortable my husband & I were with shooting engagement photos and found a great private outdoor space, putting us at ease. She pulled out all the creative stops with the bridal photos & included my girlfriends in the process! When it came to our wedding day, we had lots of commentary from others in our wedding party about how sweet she was! Additionally, she got us the photos back quickly. I absolutely recommend hiring Michaela!"

"As cheesy as it sounds, Michaela truly made all of our dreams come true with our engagement and wedding photos. Every single photo we received perfectly showcased light, movement, emotion, and the overall joy of our wedding day. We are so blessed to have these perfect photos to look back on the best day of our lives for the rest of our lives! She is patient, professional, and kind and made us feel comfortable being in front of a camera. We truly could not think more highly of her or recommend her more!"

"Michaela was such a sweetheart from start to finish! We were truly blessed to have met her and worked with her for our special day. She stayed in communication throughout the entire process and even sent updates on our final pictures as she worked on them. I would recommend her over and over again to anyone looking for a wedding photographer that knows how to capture all the special moments and makes sure you are involved and comfortable the entire time. Thank you so much Michaela for your amazing work!"

"Michaela was great to work with! She artistically was able to see textures and moments out of something simple to create complete art and show movement in still photos. Her attention to detail is immaculate and she is so sweet and fun to work with! Highly recommend Lorraine Photography!"
