Hi, I’m Michelle, a matcha addict, hopeless romantic, and photographer based in Boston.

​

I grew up in a desert city in Mexico, where my dad carried a film camera everywhere, photographing everyone we knew. I think that’s where it began—this deep love for freezing the small moments that make life feel soft, real, and worth holding onto.

​

Coyote Films was born from the need to document love.
It taught me that love doesn’t only exist in grand gestures—it lingers quietly, all around us, in the in-between moments.

​

The name Coyote comes from my Mexican heritage. In many stories, the coyote is a creator, a figure who helps shape the world, placing stars in the sky, even as he brings a kind of necessary, transformative chaos.

​

To me, Coyote means creation from what already exists.
It’s the art of noticing.
Of documenting.
Of honoring the beauty that’s already there—you, as you are.
