About
Michelle is a Luxury Vacation Property + Boutique Hotel Photographer. And the Owner of Thematic Visuals.
My photography career spans over 11 years, beginning in product photography, evolving into portrait work, and now focusing on brand photography. Before diving into photography, I studied hospitality management and spent 10 years working in resorts and hotels. This diverse background has given me a deep understanding of the industry, a passion for service excellence, a love for travel, a hunger for new experiences, and an appreciation for capturing beautiful spaces.
I'm a self starter who tends to throw myself into the wind and figure out how to raise my sail as I go. I do the things I need to for growth, even when it terrifies me because the alternative is regret - or worse, never knowing.
I live by three core values: creativity, honesty, and quality. Creativity fuels growth and innovation, honesty builds transparency and rapport, and quality enhances efficiency, fostering repeat client relationships. These innate values guide me both personally and professionally, allowing me to show up authentically and live a life of that truly has purpose.
At Thematic Visuals, I believe that consumer buying decisions are rooted in emotion steming from our senses and human desires. Every brand has a unique story to tell, and my mission is to bring that story to life through thoughtfully curated photography that evokes these feelings and ignites your buyers senses. I specialize in working with hotels, vacation rentals, and brands across Canada offering a high-quality experience and content that reflects the warmth and authenticity of your brand.
My Philosophy:
I understand that your brand is more than just a business—it's a reflection of your values, your passion, and your commitment to providing a memorable experience. That's why I focus on creating images that resonate with your audience on a deeper level. Using warm aesthetics, natural lighting, and strong storytelling, we craft visuals that truly capture the essence of your brand.
My Process:
From the moment we begin working together, I take the time to understand your brand's unique needs and goals. I collaborate closely with you to ensure that every image I create aligns with your vision and enhances your brand’s identity. Whether we’re photographing a serene vacation property or a beautifully designed home decor collection, my goal is to produce visuals that inspire and engage.
Who Am I:
Thematic Visuals is more than just a photography company—I’m your partner in visual storytelling. My passion for mindful, quality-driven work is reflected in every photo. I’m dedicated to providing an experience that is not only professional, but simple infused with creativity and care.
My Commitment:
I’m committed to serving brands that prioritize mindfulness, relaxation and outdoor living in their work. And love to work with Luxury Vacation Properties, Villas & Resorts, Spa’s and Natural Home Decor brands. By focusing on quality, authenticity, and thoughtful curation, I help you connect with your audience and build a brand that stands out in the marketplace.
