I’m Michelle Adams, a Bend Oregon photographer and adventure seeker.

Photography is one way or another has been a part of my life since a teenager. Learned my photography craft with an all manual film camera.. spending countless hours in a dark room processing black and white film.

Through the years, photography was a personal activity. While on a multi-week international trip, or backpacking in the White Mountains of NH and now in my new home of Bend, Oregon, I always wanted to share my enthusiasm of the outdoors with others through my camera.

Outdoor photography is not my only passion. As a successful business professional in the technology niche, I moved into digital marketing for small businesses. The one thing I saw right away, was the over use of porrly fitting stock photography for small businesses, start-ups, self-employed gig workers and coaches.  I now combine my photography art with my business expertise to tell a business owner’s story visually. With a combination of custom designed stock photography for social media purposes, website updates or Google Business profiles, I can guide the business owner with an affordable custom photography session and provide the guidance on local SEO needs. 

My love of the outdoors and travel has always been a part of my life. Capturing beautiful sites, experiences and bringing this to the world drives me with my photography. 

I wish everyone could experience the outdoors and trek around in the dark at 4AM in the morning. The reality is, it’s not for everyone – so my goal is to bring these sites, experiences into your home. 

The same is true of your business.  When I’m not chasing sunrises at 4AM in the morning, I bring my deep level of business experience to capture a candid, lifestyle approach to showcase the best of your business to your clients. This includes manufacturing, retail spaces, storefronts and individuals requiring a lifestyle photography session.
