Welcome about

I'd love to hear from you, so please click HERE to get in touch. I look forward to hearing more about your wedding day plans and details.

You have just arrived at my blog, and I welcome you!

This blog is just a place where I write about my journey as a wedding photographer, as a mother, wife and friend. 

I am an illustrative wedding photographer, located just outside Windsor Ontario.  I have a huge love of photojournalism, black and white photography, and weddings that make me cry! I don't like the ordinary, I love being different, and I put my heart and soul into everything I do.

My kids are my greatest treasure and my hubby my greatest love.

I feel that this quote summarizes me and my outlook on business....

"Always hold on to the truth. Don't let others sway your heart. Don't compromise yourself for the sake of temporal groovyness. Be Deeply Funky. Be separate from the crowd that's awash with normality, by standing on a firm foundation. Never waver in your love or faith ...." - John Fluevog.

i am getting excited!!! michele bowman photography is changing it's look and it's name, and this week i'm going to be diligently working on my new website and NEW blog!! i purchased some new templates from Into the Darkroom, and they just need some lovin' from me before i can get them live. i am currently buried under mounds of photos to sort through. i need to make sure that everything that makes my new website galleries, is up to my strict standards ! LOL! with all these changes, comes a change in name and focus. as i've written before, i am currently in LOVE with photographing weddings. my career didn't begin that way, but weddings have worked there way into my heart, and it was love at first shoot. i originally wanted to focus on family and kids, since there is nothing as fun as chasing a kid around a park for a photo! really. for some reason, God brought wedding photography into my life, and while i am still young enough to endure the crazy physical demands of wedding photography, i will give it my energy and my all. i didn't realize how many wedding photographers ACTUALLY lived and worked in Windsor Ontario & surrounding areas, but instead of discouraging me, the numbers have actually made me want to work even harder to stand out in a crowd. i am finding my OWN HILL (as Kevin Swan puts it) and making it my goal to bring another aspect of wedding photography to the Windsor market. i have always loved being an individual, and my wedding photography will be no different. i do have to say that i was super excited the other day after talking to a potential client. she actually 'GOT' me and what i want to show the world through my wedding photography! you can't even imagine how wonderful it felt to be understood, and have a client WANT to hire you because i am just what they are looking for. trust me when i say that i have always known what style  of photography i wanted to bring to the market, but it's been a journey getting there. i don't feel that i have arrived, but at least i know i'm on the right track. i look forward (more than you can imagine) to working with client's who's vision for their wedding photography matches my vision for photography and telling their story. i don't want to be the photographer for everyone, but i want to be the photographer to people with the same artistic vision as myself. they are bound to be matches made in heaven. this journey into the fantastical (yep, my new word) world of wedding photography has been exciting so far, and with my new branding work and new marketing materials, i will be  starting on a new path with an even more focused vision! i am so very thankful for all the love and support i have been getting from my family, friends and other photographers. your comments on my blog and support on facebook, have meant more to me than you can imagine. so, i'm just letting you know that changes are on the horizon, and hopefully i will be able to get my new blog up and running by the end of this week or so. i will have a new domain name , but i'll make sure to keep you all posted on any changes. now, to post a photograph that has NOTHING to do with wedding photography, but has everything to do with my love and passion. underwater photography gave me my start into the world of cameras! the ocean is truly my love.
