Meet Michelle Sadée

Get to know Edmonton’s premier portrait photographer

I am a fine art portrait photographer specializing in maternity & newborn photography. Based in St. Albert, I’ve served growing families for over 10 years.

It’s so important to know just who is behind the lens – the person whom you have entrusted to capture your most important moments so that you can treasure them, not only with your heart but with your eye – for generations to come.

Detail, Design, and a Love for Perfection

I was once engaged in a very demanding and challenging career as a police officer, where my unique eye for every tiny detail had a direct correlation to my success.

Later, I was designing my own homes because I wanted to make living spaces come alive. My vision encompassed distinct and elegant structures, with rich textures and color. However, I am a perfectionist and wanted to keep things ‘just so’; to capture what I saw and preserve it exactly as it was.

Ultimately, I embraced photography through my passion for capturing what I see as the art in everyday life – through a desire to freeze and share every real detail of a moment.

I am someone who has journeyed through the valleys in life, but also, metaphorically speaking, have felt the joy that comes from reaching the mountain tops.  I have experienced life in its most raw form, having both survived tragic loss and been lifted up by tremendous love.

I approach every day knowing that the ‘now’ is fleeting and that to treasure the gorgeous moments and appreciate the art of what can be captured by the eye of my camera lens is everything.  

Tomorrow is not promised – and the time to celebrate those we love is now!

My Passion:

Freezing Time Through Beautiful Photography.

As for my choice of subject, new life is wondrous. Nothing compares to the anticipation of a new baby, to the promise of life inherent in the revealing form of an expectant mother. And babies – they are just out-of-this-world beautiful.

There is nothing ordinary about how your child’s laughter lifts your heart, and nothing as magical as seeing how fast these tiny people change and grow.

My passion lies in capturing and freezing every irreplaceable moment that I can. This is part of what drives me. My love for children and my passion and talent for beauty in photography have brought me here.

I want to stop time for you, too – and I want to do it in a way that will have you saying, ‘Wow, that is just simply breathtaking.’

I had both my maternity and newborn photos done by Michelle. She was so lovely to work with and both shoots turned out so well. She has great attention to detail and her photos speak for themselves. So glad she was able to capture these special moments for me.

Michelle is a true artist. A master at her craft. Her work is so beautiful and carefully curated with no detail left unfinished. In addition, she’s the kindest person with the MOST patience. I appreciate how professional she is and never makes me feel like a burden (even if I am, lol) The photos she’s given us of our sweet family are invaluable.

We've been coming to see Michelle ever since our oldest was born. Everything from our newborn photos to Christmas family photos, she's been amazing. Her photos come out amazing each time. If you're looking for a photographer to take some great pictures of your kids, look no further

Michelle Sadee has a very professional, friendly and patient approach when taking newborn photos. Our baby immediately warmed up to Michelle during the shoot, even during fussy fits by our baby. Michelle provides a unique take on newborn photos that have left us with incredible photos that we will forever cherish. Thank you. Will always recommend. Update 2023-12-30 We’ve had the pleasure of working with Michelle Sadée Photography for our daughters’ newborn photos and our family’s Christmas mini sessions for the last two years. Each session with Michelle has been an extraordinary experience. Her talent in newborn photography is exceptional, beautifully capturing the delicate and precious moments of our daughters’ early days. During the Christmas minis, she skillfully brings out the joy and warmth of our family, creating lasting memories. Michelle’s work is consistently breathtaking and awe-inspiring. We are truly grateful for the moments she has preserved for us and highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who excels in capturing the essence of family and the fleeting beauty of newborns.

My husband and I are so glad we found Michelle! We have done 2 shoots with her so far, our newborn shoot and Christmas minis. Her studio is absolutely stunning and her work is incredible!! It was so hard to choose between all the photos because they are always all so beautiful even before any editing. Looking forward to having her continue to capture our family memories :) Thank you Michelle for being amazing at what you do!

Michelle was amazing with our newborn and the pictures came out fantastic. Highly recommended. We came back 3 years later with our second child and Michelle was still fantastic with new and updated props and sets. You can't do better for your newborn!

Michelle is AMAZING! I am not the biggest fan of having my photo taken. I always feel awkward and unsure of how to even hold my self. Michelle coaches you on how to stand and makes you just feel so beautiful 💕 what a wonderful experience. I have had my maturity photos done ( and back to me so fast ! ) and I'm already booked in for my babies photos!

We had the most amazing experience getting our newborn photos done with Michelle. It was the first time we had left the house with our newborn and we were nervous and uneasy about how baby would do. Michelle made us feel comfortable from the start and was incredible with our baby. She is the baby whisperer! She was so gentle and knew exactly what to do to keep baby from getting fussy and keep her comfortable. So comfortable, our daughter slept through the whole 4hr shoot! Michelle is not only professional, but warm and nurturing. Any time we communicated afterwards through text or email, Michelle answered all our questions and gave us exactly what we were hoping for. All of our photos are to die for! Michelle’s studio is beautiful and she has so many incredible props and outfits to choose from. Her style is beautiful and timeless and the quality is high end. You will not be disappointed! We will for sure be back to get more photos done in the future.
