SELF-PORTRAIT PROJECT

My name is Michelle Baisa, but most people call me Shelly. My heart is documentary nature photography with a special affinity towards close-ups and macros. I'm a serious introvert, yet somehow find myself very much at home with clients, treating them as friends and family. I'm a "helper" by nature and my commissioned work is very service-oriented. I tend to be a bit of a perfectionist (at least, in my own opinion of what perfect is). I love creativity and DIY projects but have killer administrative skills which can probably be attributed to the fact that I was a stay-at-home supermom for 17 years. Nothing screams for order like 3 active children running amok. I've recently regained a love for self-portraiture, which keeps my creative juices flowing! 

When I'm making photographs, I'm attempting to seek out personality and beauty, no matter if my subject is a person, part of nature, light, shadow, or even a seemingly random object. Nothing is just something. Everything and everyone has a story to tell and I love being a part of that storytelling process.
