Charleston Product & Business Photography/Videography
TESTIMONIALS
“As someone who hates getting her picture taken, I can't imagine working with anyone else besides Michelle for my branding photo shoots. As a Registered Dietitian and business owner, I needed an expert to help me capture my vision and mission in a series of photos. Michelle prepared me for the shoot by sending me a list of things to bring as well as things to consider that I never would have thought of myself. She is organized, prompt, professional, and has a heart of gold. I've done two photo shoots with her and both have exceeded my expectations. Thank you Michelle!”
“I fully recommend Michelle. I am a jewelry designer and she shot many pieces of jewelry for me to use on my website and social media. She did such a nice job! Michelle is a doll and a delight to work with. Very professional and creative. I would have no hesitation in hiring her again.
“Michelle is not only an uber talented photographer but she is super sweet and makes you feel comfortable and relaxed during your photo shoot. I feel super awkward posing for photos and loved how Michelle directed me on exactly what to do with my hands/face/etc. She even fixed my hair for me when a piece was out of place. She's a stylist and photographer really. I now have many beautiful photos for my website and Instagram account and as a health and wellness coach this is worth its weight in GOLD. You can't go wrong working with Michelle.”
“Michelle is an incredible person and I am honored to have collaborated with her. The gorgeous photos she provided for my company embody what my brand is all about. She is able to get a sense of what you are all about, and reflect that in her work. So thankful for her generosity in helping out a small startup like me. I look forward to working with her again.”
“Michelle took the time to incorporate the theme of my products into the photographs. Now I have the photos I need for my website, advertising, and more! Highly recommend!”

“Michelle is very professional and calm! I needed lifestyle photos for the product that I sell on Amazon. The model for the product is my 3 year old grandson. For the first 1/3rd of the shoot time, my grandson didn't want to remain seated, but Michelle remained calm and kept right on shooting in spite of his lack of cooperation.. she also delivered the selections to me in record time because she knew that I needed to get my listing photos corrected asap.. Thank you Michelle! You are a life saver!”
“Working with Michelle was such a great experience from start to finish! I needed branding photography done for my business, and she took the time to discuss my goals and messaging before helping me decide on the style of photos I wanted. During the session, she was extremely helpful as well. She made me feel very comfortable, which made the experience a lot easier for me. I definitely recommend her to anyone or any business with photography needs.”
“I was fortunate enough to work with Michelle for a brand photo shoot downtown Charleston in June. We were in communication prior to the shoot so she had a great idea for the vision I was going for. She made my experience fun and stress free. Michellw guided me with body positioning and hand gestures during each photo, which made the shoot run super smooth. The final product was absolute perfection! I can not wait to book Michelle again for a fall themed photo shoot.”
“Michelle made the entire experience so much more enjoyable than I imagined it could be. I am typically very camera-shy but knew I needed to capture some professional photos for my real estate business. Michelle met with me for coffee to discuss options first and go over ideas I had. She also provided the guidance I needed to prepare for the photoshoot itself. For someone who doesn't like being in front of the camera, Michelle sure made it fun and even in the crazy heat and humidity, the photos came out amazing! Great experience and I will absolutely call Michelle again when I need more lifestyle photos!”
“Michelle was wonderful to work with. My headshots and photos for my website were just what I was looking for. She does a lot of prep ahead of time so that both you and she are prepared.”
“I am beyond impressed working with Michelle. Not only am I extremely happy with the branding photography she captured for our company, Vaetas, but I was also extremely impressed with her system for capturing our company branding visual needs. She took the time to truly understand our company vision, voice and brand, and from that information she continued to interview me to ensure we were able to capture all the shots I would need for all our ongoing branding needs. With that level of attention to detail, we were able to accomplish a full branded visual library for our company within an hour and a half photo shoot! AMAZING! Vision Balm is the PERFECT organization to work with for company branding photography. They don't just offer beautiful creative, they also offer a system that brings true clarity to the actual business applications. A true winning combination in this day and age!”
“What an amazing experience. I have worked with other photographers for my business before and I never received the pre-coaching that I got from Michelle. She helped with outfit selection, location, color scheme, and so many other details that I never thought of before. She was so kind and patient and wanted to make sure I was 100% happy with the final product. She was open to what I had to say but confident enough to speak up if she needed to. I highly recommend Vision Balm if you are in need of branding photos. Money well spent!”
