Michal developed an early interest in photography after watching her grandfather, who always had a camera in hand, capturing family moments. She grew up in Israel in the small town of Pardes Chana (Hana Orchard). When reflecting on her childhood, Greenboim notes that the town was full of orange, avocado and mango orchards. She recalls small moments such as exchanging her family's avocados for the neighbor's mangos. The children would walk over to their neighbors' homes for activities such as story time or a piano lesson. "I would go with my father to pick oranges from our orchard. These are the memories that inspire my photographs, they remind of who I truly am.” Following a career as an interior designer and computer engineer, Michal moved into photography full time, publishing her first photography book “Orchard Trail,” a narrative of childhood stories and memories, in 2016.
