Introduction

New York Weddings & Family Photographer

You spend your entire life looking forward to the next big thing. Whether it be graduating from college, going on a much needed vacation, your wedding day after months (and maybe years) of planning, holding your baby in your arms after months (and, again, maybe years) of yearning to do so. Before you know it, those next big things were 5, 10, 15 years ago and have become a distant memory.  

Your photos will be one of the few tangible items you have left from special times in your life. By working with the right photographer, seeing those photos will make you smile, laugh, cry and help you further remember those special moments.

About Michelle

Capital Region NY Wedding & Family Photographer

It is oh-so-nice to connect with you. I am Michelle, owner and photographer here at Michelle Lange Photography. When I am not photographing weddings and newborn babies in their parent's arms, I can be found with the loves of my life, my husband and two adorable children. I love my own family time just as much as I love photographing growing families.

  • There is a feeling of pride that comes with being a wedding photographer. It is a constant pleasure to be able to watch that couple, whom I have spent so much time getting to know, speak their vows and promises, and publicly declare their love and commitment. These feelings are what continue to feed my creativity and need to document weddings.

    I am based out of Albany, NY and travel regularly for weddings throughout New York, Massachusetts, Vermont and New Jersey. Past destination weddings have included Nashville, Grand Rapids, Manchester, Cape May and Boston. I would love to hear where your wedding will take me.

  • One of the most beautiful things about being a family lifestyle photographer is being able to capture both the calm and the chaos and the ever-changing definition of both. Being able to bring back memories in a single photograph and reminding parents that there is beauty in both. Reminding them of simpler times when chaos was defined as what felt like millions of little kicks waking them from their sleep and the calm of being able to rest as one wished. Refreshing their mind of a time when their newborn lay milk drunk on their chest, eyelids fluttering and smiles appearing. Wondering what their newborn could possibly be dreaming about to result in such a cute, toothless smile. Making them think about the time they thought they would never make it through the sleepless, chaotic nights. These memories that a single photograph can bring back to a parent are why I love photographing parenthood and growing families.

    I am based out of Albany, NY and travel regularly to New York City for newborn and maternity sessions.

  • Michelle Lange Photography’s studio is in Troy, NY and it is the perfect spot for family portraits, headshots and client meetings.
