My Story For my about me page

One + one = One
Now the bigger equation . . .


A wife's dream + love of a husband + brand new camera + photography courses at NYIP + Studio setup + Love + Encouragement= EmjayMichelle Images


Owner and photographer Michelle Sanderson is often called Emjay(it kind of stuck after grade school). She is 23 years old and been in the photography business for a little over 2 years. A lot of her inspiration for photography comes from her Aunt Beverly and her father Cass Johnson. Emjay remembers watching them both behind the camera all growing up.




However, the capability for her to become a photographer was thanks to her loving husband who always pushes Emjay to be better and never told her she couldn't. They have two beautiful children and they are ever changing, growing, and slipping through time. That is why she knows photographs are very important.


She is an energetic individual and she adores working with youngsters(newborns, toddlers, kiddies, and teens). Emjay Michelle generally tries to catch every devious grin, laugh, smirk, scowl, and "are we done yet?" face because photography is so much more than a picture, but a story to be told.


Sessions are fun, relaxed, and vibrant; Emjay Michelle does her absolute best to satisfy every want of the customer within her means. Typically capturing every smile, giggle, and emotional expression in a session clients are bound to be satisfied.
