She made both of us feel super comfortable and she did a really good job at capturing our personalities.
My husband and I have now done two shoots with Michaela, one of which was our beach elopement, and we cannot say enough good things about her! We’ve done photo shoots in the past but always felt very awkward and we didn’t vibe with the photographer. This was not the case with Michaela. Not to mention, she’s really cool with great taste in music so we all got along super easily. Definitely looking forward to doing more shoots with her in the future!
I cannot recommend her enough and the only challenge we face is deciding which pictures we will print, since they are all amazing.
I contacted Michaela literally a few days before my civil wedding at the courthouse as I decided last minute that we needed a photographer. Michaela responded right away and immediately sent me inspo pics to get things started. She met us at the courthouse and documented our day perfectly. I sent her a pinterest board of ideas we had for photos, and she made sure to capture those perfectly while giving us clear instructions on how to pose, which was soo helpful!
She makes us feel sooo comfortable, even my husband who hates having his photo taken loves getting photos with her
We have had many photos with Michaela and they turn out so beautiful every time!! She makes us feel sooo comfortable, even my husband who hates having his photo taken loves getting photos with her❤️ We will continue to book with her over the years to capture our family.
She is an extremely talented photographer and made the entire experience very comfortable and upbeat!
10/10 Highly Recommend! I recently hired Michaela to take new professional headshots for my beauty brand and I could not be more pleased with the results. She is an extremely talented photographer and made the entire experience very comfortable and upbeat! The quality and customer service were outstanding. If you need new headshots or portraits, I cannot recommend her enough!!!
