The Team

Michelle Szpak LSWPP

Owner / Photographer

Michelle as well as being the main photographer, owns and runs Szpak Photography. Starting out in photography back in 2005, Michelle quickly realised she wanted to turn her hobby into a full time business. Capturing memories and moments for her clients to treasure.

With a desire to capture relaxed portraits and a friendly studio clients could come to again and again, Michelle opened her first studio in Letchworth back in 2009. She was lucky to be chosen by Mark Cleghorn (who owns PT4U) to receive training and guidance with both her photography and business over the last few years.

Michelle is a member of the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photography and in 2012 gained her Licentiateship, a qualification recognised in the photography industry, as well as an award winning photographer.

"A Portrait is not just for that moment it is for life, the images taken will be with you forever and it is a pleasure to capture these with my business. Many of my clients come back time and time again, and it is wonderful to watch the families grow up. I am not just a photographer, I become their friend"  -  Michelle
