Meet Michaela
After losing my mother and grandparents before I was 21, the photos I have of them have become treasured links to their memories. This experience has profoundly shaped my understanding of the legacy we leave behind.
Choosing to become a legacy photographer was an obvious decision for me. I can't imagine saying goodbye to my wedding couples after their big day or never seeing your kids again after getting to know you all. Being the photographer you return to as your family grows is a genuine privilege, one that I love with all my soul.. I genuinely believe the friendships I cultivate with my clients result in photos they will cherish forever. When you place your trust in your photographer, your photos become a true reflection of the home you create together. The more I get to know you, the more genuine, honest, and authentic the experience and the end result becomes. And I love nothing more than when sessions feel like catch-up days with old friends, learning about your baby's milestones, what your child is now into, and understanding you and your family's personalities. I'm not looking to capture posed images; I want to capture who you really are and who you continue to grow into.
Your story is uniquely yours, and my approach to photography is a process of co-creation. Trust and understanding are the foundation of our collaboration, ensuring that the photos we create together truly reflect your journey.
To create something extraordinary, we need to build a meaningful connection. Share your favorite moments and your journey together with me. While anyone can take a nice photo with a smartphone, crafting something uniquely yours requires a collaborative effort. Photography is not merely a service but also an empathetic art, where understanding is the foundation.
By choosing to work with me, you're embracing a journey of getting to know each other and creating something beautiful and personal. Rest assured, I take my craft seriously and will handle your story with the utmost care, I pride myself on being a safe space for all.. Your story is safe with me, and I am committed to preserving its authenticity and beauty.
I'm here for this crazy journey, the ups and downs, the little moments that make up your imperfect but beautiful life.
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!!!
