Michelle has a loving eye, and it shows in every photo she takes, whether it's a tiny close-up of a dandelion, work-worn hands cupping a berry harvest, a family laughing together, a group of people protesting a pipeline, or a falling-down building. Her photos are full of emotional depth, the interplay of light and shadow, and the essential dignity of her subjects. More...

Michelle has the eye of a person who sees the wonder in the world, in the things that most people dismiss -- the way light is cupped inside of a flower, the eclectic pattern of bikes in a rack, or the smile on a child's face at a circus. Her sense of composition is excellent. She is a quiet master of capturing movement and the individual spirit of the people she photographs. More...

It was a pleasure to work with Michelle and the location she chose and the time she specified meant great light and a great backdrop. I highly recommend her mini-session. Perfect for families with young kids who might lose focus! More...

I love the way Michelle captures the beauty of nature, not just pictures of birds or showy flowers, but she captures what other people sometimes overlook like seeds, insects, and fungi! I'm impressed by her knowledge of the natural world! More...

Michelle's photography is truly something special. Whether she's capturing a pristine moment in nature or the deep emotions of a performer, Michelle always finds a way to distill the experience to its essence, so those viewing the photographs later feel utterly a part of it. Her work can take your breath away, and make you feel something new. More...

With a company called Forager it was a natural to want to work with Michelle. From our very first meeting to the most recent set of photographs her input and work has been amazing.
She has helped create the image that Forager Company has online and in print with her images and team of great friends she has recruited to help.
I look forward to our continuing collaboration.

I'm a huge fan of Michelle's work! She is very talented and is one of those artists who is able to skillfully capture the essence and spirit of her subject matter. Her range of work is amazing, and she is equally skilled at photographing people, wildlife, plants, spaces, landscapes or close-ups. I especially enjoy her work focusing on abandoned places. She really succeeds at capturing the sense of history and the mood of those places. Keep up the wonderful work! More...

I am endlessly amazed by the photography of Michelle Johnsen. She has photographed the Lancaster East Side Market at Musser Park for the last two years where I am the assistant manager. Her photographs truly capture the essence of our diverse and vibrant Lancaster community. We exclusively use her images for promotion and advertisement of the market. Her photographs have contributed greatly to the development and success of the Lancaster East Side Market and I would recommend her talents to all local businesses and organizations. More...

Michelle has taken many of the photos for Lancaster Story Slam throughout the first season. She has an excellent eye and has captured awesome photos of many of the storytellers that we have used on our website. She is friendly, laid back, and fun to work with, we're thrilled she has been part of the team. You should hire her for your photographic needs. More...

I have worked with Michelle on a number of occasions. She shot team member head shots for the website of the local, organic market I work for, as well as promotional shots of the interior and exterior of the store. She has also done event photography for a number of literary readings and social events I have planned. Michelle is consistently a pleasure to work with—she’s on time, she is prepared, she knows how to set up the shot, and is willing to work with the client until they are 100% satisfied. Highly recommended! More...

Michelle is equal parts great local supporter and promoter. She is able to capture what most eyes would glance over. Looking over her work is a great reminder of all the things that we too quickly pass by. As a musician, I am always grateful to have Michelle take photos during concerts/events - she makes me and the band look stellar! The best part about it is that she gets the natural look, the authentic vibe. She's my favorite local photographer and a pretty wonderful soul to boot. More...

Michelle is a wonderful person and truly one of the most thoughtful photographers I know. My husband, Thomas, and I recently got married in a small garden ceremony and Michelle captured the essence of the day beautifully with her photography. She was incredible to work with - so professional, knowledgeable, positive, and she truly enjoys what she does. Plus, the final photos she provided us with were incredible! Many photographers are predictable and posed, but Michelle is so artistic with what she does and captures everything so naturally. We are so thrilled and grateful - there really is no one like Michelle! More...

Michelle is truly a gifted artist. I knew this from her work before our wedding so hiring her for our wedding was a no-brainier. She excels at candid shots and capturing all the heartwarming moments that we will remember forever! Michelle is a business woman who is extremely easy to work with from start to finish. Her prices are very fair and she's flexible and willing to work with you. More...

Michelle Johnsen is fabulous at what she does. We got over 100 high quality digital prints of our family' photo shoot for a very affordable prices. Most photographers would charge twice as much for what she does. She captured both candid and posed shots of my family and both turned out beautifully. She was professional and fun and I would definitely hire her again for whatever special occasion I have coming up. It was such a treat working with her and her photographs are amazing! More...

With an event that can be as stressful as a DIY wedding, you absolutely want someone as professional and flexible as Michelle is. Quite honestly, she provided more insight about wedding timelines than any Pinterest board or overpriced book. In addition to her wealth of knowledge, the pictures we received of the day will be something we treasure forever. She truly captured the joy and magic I felt, and we have amazing pictures of family and friends. The candids are my favorite. While I'm not looking to get married again, I'll definitely be looking for another excuse to work with Michelle. More...
