Michelle

and welcome to Sweet Lime Portrait Design

Hello there...

Whether this is your first experience with us, or if you are one of our long-time, and much appreciated regular clients, we look forward to your visit.

My husband and I live in Arlington and are parents to two high-energy young boys. I have always loved children and have LOTS of patience (sort of a job requirement!).

The Sweet Lime mission has been inspired by my experiences both as a photographer and as a mother. Of course, we'll document your child's physical beauty, but more importantly we like to create something that makes you say "that is so him (or her).” We aim to capture that unique sparkle, as well as a little bit of genuine soul. We try to avoid stiff poses, practiced smiles, perfectly combed hair or clothing that's too matchy; things that don't feel authentic. Our intended result after the final edit are images, full of life, yet artistically refined.

Since being a mother and a business owner are both time intensive, I have a wonderful team who support the entire creation process here in the studio, from image creation to the final art product. They work at Sweet Lime because they share my philosophy. We all look forward to seeing you and your family soon!

Warmest Regards,


Michelle Hayes
Founder + Principal Photographer
