Michelle Sarasin is a nature lover at heart. Upon her many hikes with her Dalmatian, Legend, she has covered vast amounts of territory over the years. Specializing in nature, wildlife, and domestic and wild animal photography, Michelle is currently touring her native territory hiking the New England mountains, valleys, and trails. Recently she has covered over 200 miles alone this summer and autumn and has climbed some of the highest peaks over the past several years in her home state of Rhode Island and her beloved Maine, which she considers her second home state. Michelle's photography covers the underlying beauty of untouched nature, from National Forests and Parks to simple trails around the six states.

She enjoys hiking into the wilderness and seeking out unsuspecting hideaways for the best views of nature. This is reflected in her work, including photography taken from places barely touched by human hands and feet. Growing up, Michelle always felt a connection to Mother Earth. Over the years, she has dedicated herself to discovering and learning the wonders and lessons nature can offer us.

By learning and respecting the places where she hikes and documents both in writing and photography, Michelle believes that the purity of nature can heal our souls and refresh our minds, giving us new perspectives on life and our purpose here on Earth. Her photography reflects the peace that nature can bring while also documenting the realities of the perils that challenge us when we are hiking or communing with nature.

Hiking with her energetic and brave dog, Legend has brought out her best work as he often guides her into places she never thought she would discover. He is both her photographer assistant and best friend (and a darn good navigator!). Careful not to disturb mostly untouched areas of the Earth where she shoots, Michelle is sure to respect the rules of the trail - taking out what she brings in with her. To cover the best landscapes and wildlife, Michelle often finds herself climbing steep rocks and mountains to capture the most dramatic and compelling scenes.

Understanding, that while nature is Earth's best medicine, not everyone can enjoy the deep forests and woods as she does daily. To her, taking a photo of a beautiful mountain range or a simple flower can bring nature to those who cannot experience it often. Michelle is dedicated to bringing nature and all its wonders to everyone through her creative gifts.

When she is not out there hiking and photographing, Michelle is a professional singer-songwriter and author. She loves to cook, read, write, and play with her family which includes Prince Legend, and her two cats Prince Harry and Duchess. Michelle also enjoys visiting her young nephew and nieces, helping them with their garden, and understanding nature at its core.
