Stephansplatz, Vienna | Michelle of American in Vienna

First off, I just want to go on record saying that the sweet personality behind one of the top most highly rated blogs in Vienna, known as American in Vienna has the most beautiful name: Michelle. ;) I got the chance to meet Michelle when I first relocated to Vienna and she has been an endless resource of information, knowledge, and insights on all things Vienna. She is one of the calmest, most gentlest, souls you will ever meet. She also has the patience of a saint, which I must confess, came in handy during her session when I wanted to keep exploring just a little further for the perfect spot for her pictures. Her session began at 5:00 in the morning, and no, there was no typos just now. Five A.M. Bless Michelle's heart.
We started early because we were going to have her session in the first district of Vienna and if we wanted to avoid tourists that is really the only time in which you can have the entire first district to yourself. So at 5 a.m., Michelle showed up looking lovely and I showed up with my A-game and rolls of film. We scouted around and then found this exquisite, deliciously quiet, flower-filled corner and mercy on my soul, we shot the best pictures in the best light in one of Vienna's best districts.
The results are semi-sleepy, dreamy, sweet and soulful pictures of Michelle and all of which I am crushing hard over. Seriously. This was absolutely worth rolling out of bed at 4 a.m. for. I cannot get enough of Michelle and her sweet, soft, charming self. Here is her early morning session in the heart of Vienna.
