Michele Cardamone is more than a photographer--she's someone who captures the heart of a moment and…read morepreserves it in a way that feels genuinely sacred. I've had the privilege of doing several sessions with Michele over the years, and the value of her work has only grown with time. She has photographed my family in a way that truly reflects who we are, including some of the most meaningful pictures I have of me and my grandma. My grandma has since passed, and I cannot put into words how much those photos mean to me now. They are treasured, irreplaceable reminders of love, connection, and presence--and I'm endlessly grateful Michele had the gift of capturing that so beautifully. Michele has also been there through different seasons of my life. She took photos of me as a teenager, and most recently, she photographed me as I stepped into the final stage of my career path--transitioning into a nurse practitioner. What sets Michele apart is how she makes you feel. I'm naturally shy in front of a camera, but she creates an environment that feels safe, uplifting and even powerful!She has a way of bringing out your true self--helping you feel comfortable, confident, and beautiful without anything feeling forced. Honestly, working with Michele feels like a form of self-love. Getting your photos back--of you, your family, your milestones-- is such a gift. For me it helped me see my family from and outside perspective- and for my solo sessions, it actually increased my self confidence and self love! Her editing is timeless and stunning, but what I love most is that she never edits out the realness. She captures emotion, connection, and the little in-between moments that make a photo feel alive. If you're considering booking with Michele, do it. I would recommend her for any photography needs, without hesitation. You'll walk away with more than "pictures"--you'll have memories preserved with care, artistry, and so much heart
