In a world where our phones take great photos, it's fair to wonder if a professional photographer is worth it. With Michelle Tricca, the answer is yes--without hesitation. The difference comes down to a trained eye, intuition, and real expertise you simply can't replicate. Michelle Tricca brings an artist's sensibility to every shot, capturing not just your portrait, but the emotion behind the moment. At the same time, she keeps you in the driver's seat--collaborating on selection, cropping, and composition to craft images that tell a story worth keeping. The result is a set of images that feel both personal and polished--something far beyond what you could create on your own, and well worth the investment. read more

Michelle is not only a very talented photographer but she's also such a lovely person. I can be a bit camera shy. Michelle was able to make me feel comfortable and confident.

MICHELLE TRICCA Sees her family portraits as fine art as she searches for the best light, angles, backdrops, candidness and tides! No detail escapes her professional eye, especially shadows or squints. Our 4 generation family ladies beach photo shoot had the youngest little lady, age 1, crying most of the time after landing via jet the day before and now finding herself in a strange and wet, sandy, place. Michelle patiently and tenaciously rearranged and clicked determined to find the moments of beauty and calm. How thrilled we were to see the gorgeous proofs! We now have family portraits, justifiably called works of art. To cherish your family in a moment in time I enthusiastically say "Michelle will forever capture the magic and beauty of the moment!" read more

Michelle is an artist. She has an eye for unique shots, movement and color. We were very please with how natural the photoshoots came out - not another cookie-cutter white-beige "let's all look at the camera at the same time" portraits. Take her advice on what color to wear in different light settings to bring out the best of your photoshoot. Michelle is a professional, and will only bring experienced assistants, so you will have an awesome time. Also, if you're looking for a bargain - look elsewhere. Museum-grade paper prints, life-time metal frames, commercial standards. Memories to cherish for a life-time. read more

In-home photoshoot. Michelle Tricca came to my home to shoot several headshots for my new music and book releases. She recommended a makeup artist who was wonderful, and Michelle brought several umbrella-shaped lights. Just using lights and shadows, she created some of the most remarkable photos that are perfect for my promoting. She also came up with some great ideas for pictures we could take right here at home. I get HUGE comments about how great I looked in the pictures. I totally recommend her. She is a true artist. read more

This woman is truly talented. She took fabulous color and B/W photos of my sons and me on the grounds of Artis Naples. Two teenage boys were captured as loving devoted sons and brothers! (some times a task ....not for Michelle). The quality of the photography is stunning. I can't imagine using another phnotograper. read more

Michelle Tricca is truly among the best photographers out there. My family has been photographed multiple times over the past 20 years by this remarkably talented artist. She has traveled to meet up with us on the coastlines of Cape Cod, Maine and Laguna Beach, CA. Michelle captured some of our most treasured memories over the years. She is a delight to work with - Michelle has an endearing professional demeanor, with attention to details, an inherent artistic nature while being light hearted & humorous. All these qualities make for an enchanting and fun photo shoot for the entire family. read more

Still the greatest photographer I've had the pleasure of dealing with! Just an update to state that Michelle took photos of my twins last summer and I am so glad to have these for my old age. I will look back and see the sparkle in their eye and the energy. I had one, that I call "Jump", mounted and it is now above my fireplace. The eye this girl has for photography is fantastic. read more

Michelle did a "Father's Day" shoot involving a beach shoot with me and my daughter. The results were absolutely fantastic. We went out to my favorite beach on Cape Cod and Michelle sized up the light, the seascape, and the people and went to work. After about an hour, we were done. I had NO clue that I was going to receive works of art in return. I was floored. I still am. People look at them and are blown away. Michelle has a great eye for people, for emotion, for composition, and for depth of field. Her post-shoot production work and editing were meticulous. I can say that because everything I saw was utterly flawless, and I know enough to know that it's a lot of work to achieve this level of seamlessness. Furthermore, Michelle is at the top of her game, juggling multiple art/cultural projects in addition to her business. Talented, professional, and a joy to work with. What more can one ask for? read more

My wife is a professional artist. She hired Michelle to take images she could use while painting my portrait. Her requirements were very technical and required both skill and patience. Michelle exceeded her expectations. She was very professional and obviously skilled. She shot a number of images, downloaded them to her computer, cropped them and made other adjustments. We couldn't be more pleased with the results. We would give her more than 5 starts if we could. read more

Not only is Michelle a STELLAR individual - SO authentic, fun and playful - she's a TREMENDOUS photographer too. Her eye is unmatched and the ways she's able to capture a moment in time, is priceless. Our friends and family have worked with Michelle over two decades and we've been so grateful to her for preserving our family tree in such gorgeous images. Pregnancies, Babies, Weddings and more - we honestly look at her marvelous work every day. We are lucky to have worked with her and luckier to know her as a terrific person too!!!!! read more

Michelle Tricca is a true artist and natural at her craft. I first met Michelle when she photographed me for the cover of Honolulu Magazine back in 2002. We've worked together on shoots for a number of other projects since then, where she's shot me as an athlete and/or model. From the moment we've worked together I felt an instant connection because of her nurturing, fun, friendly and kind spirit. She has a great eye for photography. As a photographer, Michelle has always created a safe space to help bring me out of my shell and really shine in front of the camera. She is professional and knows how to bring a vision to life. I love her positive vibes, big heart and beautiful work in photography! Thank you Michelle for all that you do! read more

Michelle organized a very professional shoot taking great care in location and timing of natural light. She captured a fun family photo taking in the essence of the moment and framing us in the best possible way. Her photos will forever be treasures and works of art in their own right. I would love to work with her again and would definitely trust her eye to capture the very best. read more

Michelle was a professional from start to finish. She was a pleasure to work with - needed professional head shots - which turned out beyond what I ever could have imagined! Michelle's attention to detail is tremendous, and her persistence to get the best was well worth it. read more

I had a very special occasion to photograph... Couples' portrait photos that would end up being engagement photos and surprise proposal photos... So, I didn't want to take a chance on just any ol' photographer... After searching and finding about thirty qualified photographers, in the area, I began to pore over their portfolios; websites; facebook; you name it... There was no one that caught my eye quite like Michelle. I emailed her, got the ball rolling, and we started to come up with a plan. I knew what I wanted, but had never done anything like this before, so we discussed possibilties and came up with our idea. I printed the proposal in the local paper, where my then - girlfriend and I were visiting some friends. I got the paper to Michelle so that she could use it as a "prop" during our shoot... Everything went swimmingly!... From the very beginning; including discussions and planning, the day of the shoot, and through the difficult selection process. Michelle and her assistant were wonderful, professional, attentive, patient, and FUN!!! What, surly, should have been a one - two hour shoot turned into an all day venture, involving outfit changes and an airboat ride to a scenic locale. All the while, Michelle and Cesar just wanted to make sure they got "the shot"... They did!!! :) I couldn't be happier with my hire, the entire process, and the final product. These memories will be cherished for our lifetimes. And, hopefully, for generations to come. Thank you, so much, Michelle and Cesar! You two will forever be part of "our" story.

I needed some portrait type publicity photos to introduce my new novel. I couldn't have made a better choice than Michelle. She is smart, creative, and an excellent communicator besides being a thoroughly professional photographer. I was frankly knocked out by the quality of the photos she took of me, and I am not the most photogenic person in the world. Michelle's work is big-time, as in NYC or L.A. big time, and in my years in advertising, I've seen a lot of big-time photographers. I wouldn't use anyone else. read more

I needed a portrait photographer to create images for professional and personal usage. A colleague who had recently been photographed showed me her portraits made by Michelle and I couldn't stop looking at them. The photos were quite impressive, so I decided to check her out. Initially, Michelle's online portfolio impressed me (michelletricca.com). Then our phone call and face to face skype conversation sealed the deal. Our personalities clicked and I knew I would feel comfortable in front of her lens. Since I am in LA and Michelle is in South Florida, she had no problem traveling to West Hollywood for the shoot. The travel expense added to her creative fee was well worth the results! Michelle has a raw talent for finding great angles, working within her given environment and with available light. She saw things thru her lens that I've never noticed in my own space. We shot for several hours, which went by like minutes. She made me feel at ease and comfortable with myself while she was shooting. Michelle was fun to work with. Not only do I have images that I'll cherish for the rest of my life, but I have a positive fun memory of the photoshoot experience as well. I feel that photographs made by Michelle are a worthwhile investment that I'll be pleased about for decades to come. I didn't just hire a photographer, I hired an artist who is clearly passionate about what she does. read more

I've known Michelle for 3 years and have considered her work to be creatively exceptional. With a gifted eye for the genuineness of life, Michelle's fresh approach to photography exemplifies authenticity and artistry. Michelle captures the best of what's in front of her, no matter the challenge. Because of this, I chose Michelle to shoot my artist portraits. She worked effortlessly within the confined space of an artist's studio while maintaining a positive and professional attitude. Placing my trust in Michelle was the best thing I could do for my image. I'm pleased to have worked with Michelle and look forward to working with her again. read more

Recently, my 10 month old son and I had a day long shoot with Michelle. She was wonderful to work with. Professional. Hard working. She has fabulous perspective. She knows her lighting and how to capture the best organic shots ever! I love the end result and highly recommend. :) read more

Michelle Tricca photos are priceless treasures. Her creativity, skill and professionalism ensure that your important moment is captured beautifully. Highly recommended A+ photographer. read more

Best photographer EVER! We highly recommend her! My family is from Dallas and we vacationed near Naples. Michelle was so kind and fit us into her busy schedule. She is VERY professional and easy to work with. Unfortunately the conditions during our beach photo shoot were less than what we had hoped for. Extremely high winds coupled with humidity, heat, and a screaming baby did not make for an attractive or happy family. But miraculously Michelle pulled it off. We had fingers crossed that she possibly got ONE good photo. To our surprise... When she sent over the proof gallery it was FULL of MANY photos we loved and actually looked good in! It was as if the beach conditions were perfect! She's a TRUE photographer. She caught things we never even expected. And saw us in a beautiful light! She's brilliant! And patient and kind. We will definitely use her again! Amazing!!!!!!!!!!! read more

Michelle is a wonderful person and photographer. She'll put you right at ease in any kind of shooting scenario. She took pictures for one of my personal art projects and was so easy to collaborate with. She turned the photos around quickly and made my job easy.

I hired Michelle several years ago to take head shots & studio shots of me for my Yoga website and I still use them to this day, because I love them so much. (I'm just late to the Yelp scene, hence my late review) Michelle is easy to work with and very talented. She even helped me out of my nervous feeling, since I had never done professional photos before. It is fun pretending to be a super model with Michelle behind the camera. I also enjoy finding her a local art events as she is a beautiful inspiring soul to be around. I would have given her more stars, but yelp only allows 5. :-) read more

We worked with Michelle for our wedding this summer and the whole process was seamless. We fell in love with her photos, but she was extremely easy to work with as well. Her packages are reasonably priced and she is great about communicating not only effectively but in a timely manner. We were extremely excited to have Michelle as our photographer since we loved her work so much, which made our expectations high as well. Despite us already knowing we were going to love our photos, we were still blown away when we received them. We got 1200 photos from Michelle and in all honesty, each photo is beautiful and managed to capture the essence of our day and our personalities. Having Michelle document our day was easily one of the best decisions we made throughout the entire process. I cannot recommend Michelle enough, she was amazing!! read more

She is wonderful!! Thank you Michelle!! read more

Michelle did portraits of our children last week. They came out absolutely stunning. I was expecting the boring pose portaits that most people have above their fireplace. When I saw her work, however, I was very excited. She captured my kids' unique facial expressions, body movement and energy in a way that truly defines who they are. The portraits are almost magical. Although my kids hate it when I ask them to pose for photos, they responded extremely well to Michelle's demeanor and the whole experience was fun for them. Great work! read more

Michelle is a delight to work with. Her easy grace and pleasant demeanor set the tone for a relaxed professional experience. She was great with my children and got beautiful images that we have cherished for years. Doing the photo shoot was as much fun as seeing the finished product. Honestly I can't decide which I like more- the color photos or black and whites- because they are equally stunning. I've remained a fan for over 15 years and enjoy following her artistic endeavors on Facebook and Instagram. read more

She took amazing photos of our kids. I didn't think anyone could get them to cooperate to get a good photo. But she was very good with our kids and they actually enjoyed the experience. The photos themselves were excellent because they don't have that typical forced-pose look to them. They have natural expressions that bring out who they are. At the time they were taken, I didn't realize why she made sure the kids were having fun, but it shows in the photos. read more

Michelle Tricca is the best and most talented photographer I know! She captures the true essence and personality of her subjects and the surrounding environment with her creative, artistic and unique style. I have been lucky to have her capture my most memorable moments on land and sea in Hawai'i, Thailand, Hong Kong, Los Angeles, San Francisco, Aspen and Miami. read more

Michelle Tricca has been my photographer since I had the pleasure of meeting her in 2005. Her work is truly versatile. She photographed my wedding and I subsequently hired her to shoot family portraits and professional pictures for me. I would not hire anyone else in Naples as she is the only reliable photographer I have found here with a fresh and unique perspective. Her photos have a real and candid feeling to them. She has captured the best in all of us even when I was feeling less than beautiful! Michelle is also a genuinely nice person and is very easy to work with. Shooting with her is fun! She has always had photos for preview in a timely manner. The photos I have ordered have always been of high quality and delivered on time. She also offers so many cool and inventive ways to display your images. I've received impressive prints on aluminum and a stunning coffee table book! Michelle is a photographer but unlike so many, she is also an artist which makes all the difference!! read more

Michelle took photographs for Golden Sweets - my Ice cream & chocolate shop and she was great! She took the time to engage with the customers and staff - really getting to know the feel and atmosphere of the shop and also making it fun for everyone! Golden Sweets is an old-fashioned hometown soda fountain with a warm local feel and it amazes me how Michelle was able to capture the warmth and friendliness of the shop in images. After the shoot, Michelle was timely in getting the images to me and she had all the shots I was hoping for and more. She had great recommendations for selecting which photographs would work best for my website, which were best for advertising etc. I am so pleased with everything she did and amazed at how she really captured the essence of our small shop. Thanks Michelle! I will definitely call you again. read more
