Welcome

I'm so thankful for your visit to my online photography shop. Here, I proudly present authentic digital and fine art photos from my small, female-owned business. My passion lies in homesteading, self-reliance, and embracing a natural, slow-paced lifestyle.

My creative haven is my cozy studio—a three-season porch overlooking my Secret garden, raised herb beds, and vegetable garden. It's also a window to the breathtaking beauty of local forests, prairies, and meadows where many of my images are taken. And I'm grateful to have my loyal companion, Axel, always by my side as my trusted helper.

In addition to capturing the splendor of nature, I've been curating a collection of Wisconsin native and non-native wildflowers, serving as a valuable resource for enthusiasts. As an Arts in Medicine Photographer, many of these local nature based images are on display in Hospitals, clinics and places of healing in Southeastern Wisconsin.

When you buy images from my website, you're backing a small business. Major stock corporations have been reducing artists' compensation while increasing their own profits. I've launched this website to ensure fair pay for my work. So, shopping here is akin to supporting the underdog.

Warm regards,
Michelle

mpstockphotos Philosophy

Welcome to MpStockPhotos- where the rules of stock photography are being rewritten one image at a time. This is not your average stock company and I am proud of it. MpStockPhotos is a female-owned small art business. It is not just about pretty pictures. It's about connection. Connection to the world, to each other, and to the stories that make us who we are. That's why every image in this collection is more than just a snapshot-it's a piece of a larger narrative, waiting to be discovered and shared.

I'm hopeful that more people will decide to  prioritize the artists' well-being while also making a positive impact on the industry. Instead of perpetuating a system where photographers are undervalued, you're offering fair compensation and ensuring that their creative contributions are properly recognized. This not only benefits the artists but also helps maintain an ethical approach to business. Stock photography truly embodies artistry, and it's essential that we acknowledge and fairly compensate the artists behind these captivating images.
