Michelle Peery Photography and Nightmare Images

About Me

My name is Michelle Peery. I've been involved in photography since 2000. I attended Tri-Community School of Photography where I learned and crafted my skill, and met some of the most talented photographers I know. I also worked there as a lab tech. I enjoy taking pictures of everything including fashion, weddings, events, families, children, lifestyle, bands, events, architecture, landscapes, animals, fine art, etc. I also enjoy photo manipulation (photoshop). In October 2007, I started working with saintrocknroll.com shooting and reviewing concerts in southern California. It's the best job I could ask for. I get to see free shows of my fave bands and photograph them too! Yes, I'm one of the lucky ones!Currently in my car's cd player: Imogen HeapMost Played on my iPod Jimmy Eat World (Clarity) hellogoodbye Lily Allen Circa Survive ParamoreIf you are interested in scheduling a shoot, send me a message for a quote.If you refer someone to Nightmare Images or Michelle Peery Photography (and they purchase a sitting or wedding package), you will receive one free 8x10 AND one free 11x14 of your choice from your next sitting, or one from a previous sitting you've done with me!www.nightmareimages.com (CHECK IT OUT) www.michellepeeryphotography.com (COMING SOON)Besides photography, I enjoy collecting Nightmare Before Christmas memorabilia, music, movies, reading and tattoos. I suggest checking out Edwin Shaffer at Big Bear Tattoo in Big Bear Lake, Ca if you are ever in the area (www.bigbeartattoo.com)!"Foolish" by MxPx Some people say that I threw my brain away That I'm illogical and don't have much to say Some people say that it's foolish to believe In what we cannot see, so we're deceivedAll that I can do is listen to you All that you can be is out there, you'll seeSome people say that I threw my vote away The moment I decided to live life this way Some people say that it's foolish to believe In what we cannot see, so we're deceived I'm not here to make you all agree But have you truly studied this historically?Every single time that I Explain to you my reasons why You turn away; you close your eyes And then you cut me down to size Every single time that I Explain to you my reasons why You turn away; you close your mind Your heart's just not prepared to find Some meaning, some meaningJust wait, and listen to that voice It calls so quietly, for you to make a choice What will it be? What will it be? www.nightmareimages.com..
