Rooted in Family, Faith & Legacy
I am so incredibly happy you’re here.
I wear a lot of hats in this life—wife, mama, daughter, photographer, and biggest cheerleader for the people I love. My husband, our children, and our families are my greatest blessings, and they’re the reason I pour my whole heart into everything I do. R.A.W. Image Photography was even named after my children because they are the “why” behind this dream.
After losing our firstborn son, Raylan, I realized just how priceless photographs truly are. They become part of our legacy—our way of holding onto the people, love, and memories that matter most.
That perspective is why I don’t just take pictures. I tell stories. Whether it’s welcoming a new baby, celebrating a senior, cheering on an athlete, documenting your wedding day, or simply capturing your family exactly as you are, I want you to remember how this season of life felt.
Giving back has always been at the heart of this business. Serving local families, schools, youth sports, charities, and those walking through life’s hardest moments is one of the greatest honors of what I do.
Thank you for being here. I can’t wait to meet you, celebrate your story, and create something you’ll treasure for generations.
Let’s make some magic together. ❤️

My Favorite Things
As you can see here we love to have fun as a family! You can always find us chasing after our sweet, strong willed children! Life isn't perfect but I can tell you that with my crew it feels pretty close!
Not only is my core family involved but I have the help of my "mom"ssistant, my in laws also do so much with us. We love our family and embrace all the goofy, quirky, out of the boxness!

Giving back
I have a special place in heart for giving back and doing as much good on this earth as I can. We are involved in many charities and fundraisers. To support not only local communities but nationwide as well.
I work with The Tunnel To Towers foundation volunteering my time, and have raised over $2,500 in funds for grieving parents through sufficient grace ministries. Just to name a few!

Michelle did SO good on my senior pictures!! Not being a photogenic person, Michelle made the experience very fun for me!! She got to know me during the session, and let me bring my aging pup for my senior pictures as well! The pictures all turned out PHENOMENAL!! Better than I had ever dreamt. I am absolutely in love with these pictures of myself, amazing quality pictures!! I can’t thank Michelle enough for this experience! Will definitely go back to her for any photo sessions needed as I grow in the world!

If anybody is in search of a photographer Michelle is it! She photographed my wedding and not only took every photo we wanted but helped us capture true moments and took photos that felt most like us and not just staged photos you see in every wedding book. Loved our time with her!

Michelle is absolutely amazing! There is no other word to describe her. She took our sons 1st birthday cake smash pictures and she went above and beyond! She did so well with him, we received our pictures back so quickly and she was so helpful with all my questions! His pictures will forever be something we will cherish! I can not recommend Michelle enough and I will for sure recommend her to all my family and friends!

Michelle was such a pleasure to work with! She did an absolute wonderful job capturing my sons photos for his first birthday. Her energy throughout the shoot is what you’d want when capturing little ones! Can’t wait to use her again for future family photos! 10/10 recommend

Michelle was amazing to work with! She knew the girls names and interests and took the time to watch them interact and I really think she captured their personality in the photos! Her work is rich and you can see the time she takes to get the right photo. Definitely will be coming back for more and would refer her any day!
