HI! I’M MICHELLE

An Exercise Physiology college graduate turned entrepreneur. I say this, because hopefully a-lot of people can relate to me. I graduated with a Bachelor’s in Exercise Physiology in 2017, in hopes of becoming a Physical Therapist. If you don’t know Physical Therapy is an extremely competitive field, and even though I was President of my class, had a high GPA, good GRE scores, I still got rejected.

At this point of my life, I felt defeated. But that didn’t stop me. One thing my dad has always taught me was to strive for ALL or just do nothing at all. Hence, the phrase “ALL OR NOTHING”.

In 2017, I had dabbled into the world of photography. Truly fell in love with the craft and the community. I knew this is what I wanted to do with my life, I just didn’t know where to start. But, “ALL OR NOTHING”, right? So, I taught myself how to build a word-press website from scratch, learned coding, put up all my photography work on my website, created a logo, and in December of 2017, Michelle Gonzalez Photography was born.

I knew from the beginning, I wanted to be a wedding photographer. Just needed to be mentored and learn the behind the scenes of a wedding photography business. I had worked and was mentored by an incredible photographer, and she eventually hired me as her second shooter for an entire year.

In the end of 2018, I ventured on my own, built this business you see today, invested over $20k in education, programs, tools, and gear. Truly invested in myself, learned my craft, and created a life I love. In 2019, I just about hit $80k in sales, and I'm continuing to grow and learn to better my clients experience, my business and most importantly myself.

My mentality, is “All OR NOTHING”, I believe that if you want to live your dreams, the time to start is NOW. Yesterday is gone, and tomorrow will pass. But, today is the day to move forward, elevate your business, and ignite your passion.
