Capturing Memories!
Michelle Frick
I'm a published, award winning photographer, and I'd love to work with YOU! I’ve always loved photography. As a child who moved frequently, images were my way to hold onto treasured memories of people and places that I had to leave behind. Pictures meant a lot to me growing up, but now, as a mother, images really mean the world to me. I have learned, through watching my children grow and change, that every moment is special, and each chapter in a child’s life is fleeting. Do not blink, or you might just miss something! I enjoy working with friends and families to help them create special images. I love taking part in the process of compiling family histories. My style involves building a rapport with my clients to coax out real moments and emotions. Classic portraits are a wonderful thing, and I will work to get you some of each style. On a personal level though, I adore the images that allow people’s true selves to shine through. "A smile is a curve that sets everything straight." ~Phyllis Diller

And, then the pic below is tonight taken with the Barners at our early Christmas celebration! We are so blessed to have such special friends and loved ones in our lives, and to get to watch our children grow up together.

Holiday Fun
Dec 5th
Happy Holiday Time!!!!
It’s COLD in Frisco, TX. It’s actually feeling like the holidays now, but BRRRRRR! We Texas types are not made for this kind of chill. Little Miss L was shivering, but still such a trooper! I’m so blessed to be part of this family’s life and getting to watch and help write their story. They’re beautiful, fun loving and so special! I just can’t get enough of them! And, when sweet Little Miss L is willing to greet her photographer with a kiss – well, you know, life doesn’t get much better than that!!!
Love you guys!!! More to come!!
But tonight, BRRRRRR again – I’m off to Merry Main Street to watch Miss K (my baby girl 10.5) and her school choir perform. Then out to dinner with good friends!!!
Life is busy. Life is good!
Happy Thanksgiving
Nov 26th
I’m thankful for many things – cooperative kids and a tripod are near the top of my list for this shot in particular! I’m grateful for my family, my friends, my animals, the yummy food we put in our tummies – and for my hubby who cooked most all of it – he did NOT marry me for my culinary skills.
Happy Thanksgiving to all!!!
Itty Bits and Pieces

More to come…
Fall Foursome
Nov 11th
Anyone who knows me probably knows I’m a sucker for sentiment, tradition and making sure I chronicle my children’s lives. The shot above is an annual tradition – I took a similar shot of these four in the grass during the fall of 2005 for my first online photo class with Jeff Wignall.
One of the most special relationships we have in our family is that of our next door neighbor’s and close friends. When we moved into our house, they were still in the process of building theirs. The girls met when they were 2, closing in on three years old. KB and I were both pregnant at the time with our boys. The boys have literally known each other since birth and are the very best of friends. In fact, my son is busily eating them out of house and home right at this very moment. Pretty soon, they might start asking me to chip in on the grocery bills.
The girls are much like sisters it seems. They love each other, will hopefully always look out for each other, and yet they can drive each other nuts.
My life and the lives of my children are so much richer for this true and lasting friendship. I love all four of these babies like they are my own! It’s my hope they will stay close and treasure the friendships all their lives.

Just a quick sneak peek at sweet little Natalie! She’s so adorably cute and full of smiles – it was hard not to just scoop her up and love on her rather than take her pictures. It’s babies like her that make think I need another one, then I remember diapers and say, oh yes, I think I’ll leave the hard part of the job to others. Meanwhile, I will just enjoy cooing at them, playing with them and taking pictures of their scrumptious little mugs!!
I will say though, it does break my heart that my “babies” aren’t this little and cuddly anymore.
Big Smiles!!!

I love my job! I get to take beautiful pictures of fabulous people. It’s amazing what you can see in someone’s eyes.
Now, if I could just get caught up with everything. Editing, editing, editing!!!
Smiles to all!
