Professional Headshots
Portraits with personality, purpose, and presence.
Take your brand to the next level
How it works…
The entire process takes place over three meetings. The Pre-Session Consultation, your Session and your Viewing/Ordering Appointment.
The Pre-Session Consultation
At your complimentary telephone consultation we will get to know each other a bit better. My focus is to make the portrait experience amazing. I pride myself on exceptional customer service, a commitment to each family's relationship and the creation of unique art for their home. We'll discuss your goals and personal style, so that I can create a session for you that complements YOU. Great portraits begin with a great relationship. Tell me about your home and your vision and I'll add in my creativity to make it happen.
Sessions at the Studio or On-Location
The studio sessions take place in my in-home studio in North-East Boulder. Various backdrops are available and 2-3 clothing changes are accommodated. I work with controlled studio lighting and various set designs. The studio offers a fun, relaxed environment where we can create a look that is timeless and sophisticated no matter what the weather.
Weather permitting, let's take it outside! Sessions at one of Boulder's scenic spots make for some amazing and unique images, especially if the location is special to you. So consider carefully where you'd like to have your session, or I can recommend a spot for you.
The Viewing/Ordering Appointment
The Viewing & Ordering Appointment (about 2 weeks after the session) is when you get to see the beautiful portraits created following the session, finalizing your selection. Invest in a Collection or create your own.

★★★★★Michelle is the consummate professional with seemingly unending creativity. The photo shoot was fun and liberating (I partook in her 40 over 40 project). The session included make-up and hair, a selection of clothing (that included some of my own from home), and consultation(s) before the shoot. Michelle is communicative and responsive and I highly recommend her work. Whether it's a fun shoot to celebrate your 40's, a professional shoot, or family shoot you will be so pleased.

★★★★★It was a pleasure to work with Michelle! When we first connected, I was looking for someone local to help update my professional headshots, and I ended up with so much more! I admire her passion for celebrating “Fabulous women over 40” and the range of photographs- from glamorous to professional to casual. I definitely recommend!

★★★★★To state it simply, Michelle delivers. She assisted our law firm of over 35 employees, in three different locations, in the most supportive and seamless matter. She captured beautiful portraits of our staff and made everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. She is a pro and her portraits speak for themselves. We couldn't be happier with the outcome in working with Michelle and look forward to utilizing her services again and again.

★★★★★Michelle is an amazing photographer and a master at her craft. I love how she made me feel comfortable and beautiful during my session. I really feel like she captured my spirit and personality in the most flattering way. We had so much fun! Between the music, champagne, outfit changes and laughter it was like hanging out with a BFF for the day! The best part about my session was that she allowed my family to join me at the end so we could get some family shots too. Not only did I get to be pampered with hair and makeup, and get the most gorgeous shots of me, but she was patient and creative with my children and I ended up with beautiful photos of my children and family too! I highly recommend Michelle Gray Photography!
