We’re looking forward to introducing you to Michelle Marie. Check out our conversation below.
Michelle, it’s always a pleasure to learn from you and your journey. Let’s start with a bit of a warmup: When was the last time you felt true joy?
As an Entrepreneur the last 30 years I have been blessed so much to sustain being self employed. Every day presents new challenges but staying the course and truly doing what I love every day is a gift beyond measure.
I am able to capture precious moments through the lens, and heal others through Professional Massage Therapy and Yoga… it’s incredibly gratifying.
Can you briefly introduce yourself and share what makes you or your brand unique?
Hi there! My name is Michelle Marie. I have had a love for Photography since I was a child. After a trip to Europe I decided to turn it into a business. I sell my Prints & Cards at few places locally and always scouting new Galleries & High end boutiques to showcase my art.
Okay, so here’s a deep one: Who saw you clearly before you could see yourself?
I remember selling at Hermosa Fiesta in Hermosa Beach 25 years ago and a local prestigious Photographer stopped at my booth and gave me praise. I was floored that he thought my art was incredible… He told me I didn’t need to take any classes, that I had the ” GIFT”. He had no idea how much confidence he gave me.
Was there ever a time you almost gave up?
Multiple times. Being an Entrepreneur is beyond rewarding but also one of the most difficult things to sustain. When things are good, they are Amazing but it can be extremely trying at times.
Alright, so if you are open to it, let’s explore some philosophical questions that touch on your values and worldview. What’s a belief or project you’re committed to, no matter how long it takes?
Being KIND and caring for other people doesn’t cost a thing.
Okay, we’ve made it essentially to the end. One last question before you go. What will you regret not doing?
I will never regret doing what I love every day! I am so blessed to do Photography, Yoga and Professional Massage Therapy.
My clients are EVERYTHING, and this is a giant THANK YOU to ALL of you. You know who you are!
