Winnipeg portrait photographer visionsbymich Michelle Westman

A little bit about me…

I am a story teller.

Photography helps me tell a story, express a feeling or emotion and showcase my inner creativity.


I grew up an only child, alone with my imagination and a camera in my hand. At age 10, I explored photography with my dads digital Kodak camera and took high advantage of 10 second timer, posing EVERYWHERE and taking pictures of EVERYTHING.


I have been creating and expanding my knowledge ever since. In 2019, I graduated from Red River College for Professional Photography and shortly after gained more knowledge working as a portrait photographer with Lifetouch for 2 years. I now have my own business as a photographer specializing in creative fine art portraits, fashion and editorial photography. I also love capturing weddings, engagements, couples, families, boudoir, graduates and sports teams.

Let me tell your story today and create your vision.

Eventually when I was 12 years old, I finally got my own camera, a Canon Powershot. This opened doors of creativity and motivated me to start taking photos of my friends. We would go biking around our small town, wearing wild outfits and fun makeup, always searching for new locations to take pictures at.

After gaining more experience and inspiration, I decided to save up for a DSLR camera at the age of 15. I studied my camera, from the body and lens to the shutter and aperture, hanging up diagrams and notes all around my room. Before I knew it, my camera functions were second nature and the only thing that mattered was my vision.
