November 17, 2016: Proud to have been a marquis Sponsor that provided the welcome glass of wine for the Junior League of Bronxville's Friendraiser event. It is a great moment when you love of parties and love of community can collide. Plus the best part of all was having my mother, Eileen Iulo, attend. She has been there supporting my dreams throughout my entire life.
October 28, 2016: Oversaw a Halloween Spooktacular that was tons of fun for the kids and adult guests involved. The best part was working with Cooking By Jessica on the themed menu and having K. Salkey Photography there to capture the event.
September 17, 2016: Expanded the options for my 2016 Holiday Photo Packages this year. Not only will I be working with K. Salkey Photography again, but also I now have a new joint venture with Moda Makeover. Check out how owner Maria Matera can help you look picture perfect in time for the holidays (click here). The best part is she helps eliminate another stress...outfit coorination!

2015
December 21, 2015: Proud to officially have launched my new logo. Special thanks to my talented sister, Mehgan Iulo, for designing it for me! Check out her website (click here) to see more of her work product. In the meantime I was busy in December creating work products of my own, including being employed for my photo editing services and designing my first photo book for a client.
November 21, 2015: Completed the first, of many scheduled, 2015 Holiday Card Packages. I was proud to have been able to also donate one to the Junior League of Bronxville's Friendraiser event earlier this month. By working with my joint venture partner Kalil Salkey of K. Salkey Photography we capture those picture-perfect shots at the location of our client's choice and then I mock up several card options so all the client has to do is select the family favorite and order away! Check out the one of my family.
October 27, 2015: Hosted a successful launch party with a Halloween theme...because that is what I do! I was fortunate to have so many friends attend and have my joint venture partner Kalil Salkey of K. Salkey Photography there to capture the memories. Of course my husband, Andrew Schoulder, was willing to step in as bartender. It was the perfect way to introduce my business concepts, my website and my Facebook page (click here). Hope visitors enjoy what they see!
October 1, 2015: When it all began. Michelle Makes Memories was officially incorporated. A special thanks to my husband, Andrew Schoulder, for encouraging me to start this journey and for helping me along the way (especially with all the legal requirements!).
