It’s nice to meet you!

I’m Michelle, the owner of Michelle MacLeod Photography & Solid Studios

I have always been a country girl at heart growing up dirt biking, riding horses, and getting out on the hills and thrashing in the snow. Being blessed with 3 boys was the a perfect match for me because I have an adoration for the outdoors and playing with the beautiful landscape Mother Nature has given us. It is my favorite place to take my clients to, whether the backdrop is fields full of wild flowers or robust trails and forests, using natural lighting and a natural organic environment. When the weather is less than we’d hoped for or I have little ones to photograph, I have a studio! It keeps babes out of the elements, ensuring both they and their mamas are warm and happy.

I began playing with photography in High School. There, I learned to develop my own film and exposing it to paper through an enlarger and then watching the magic of photography come to life as we washed the paper. Back then, because you only ever had one shot at taking ‘the’ photo with the film, you had to practice extreme caution and accuracy in your angles and how you saw the finished product.

Although we live in an age of digital phenomenon, I take pride in being an organic photographer, and I work tirelessly at maintaining the integrity of my clients and their vision when doing a shoot. I do minimal editing yet my clients will tell you that I am still able to provide beautiful images that they can hang on the walls and be proud of for years to come.

Capturing your life moments is my passion. An extrovert in all I do, I love meeting new people and creating new relationships. My ability to provide exceptional photos in a friendly and open way is what builds lasting friendships from which I am blessed to say, brings my clients back year after year. Can’t wait to hear from you!

  • Michelle was SO amazing to deal with. She made the entire shoot so fun and the photos we received back are so dreamy and exactly the vibe we asked for. If you’re looking for a top notch photographer for any special event but especially anything wedding related - do yourselves a favour and hire her.

  • Just spent an amazing afternoon on a photo shoot with Michelle. She was referred to me by a friend and I couldn’t be happier. Michelle gave me instructions and suggestions leading up to the shoot and made me feel so comfortable while we were doing it. It was way out of my comfort zone and I’m so appreciative of her kindness, support and professionalism. Can’t wait to see the photos!

  • We had a family photoshoot with Michelle at her studio and we were impressed! She really took the time to capture beautiful moments especially with the kids. She’s great to work with and we love how our photos turned out.

  • We have had the pleasure of having Michelle photograph our family for several years now. She is patient and fun when capturing our kiddos, which makes our experiences smooth and stress free. The amount of compliments we get from our photos are endless and we owe it all to Michelle! I would highly recommend Michelle for your next photo shoot!
