Where every glance feels like
new york wedding and motherhood photographer
I believe your photos should feel the way the moment felt.. warm, imperfect, and deeply real.
I’m drawn to the pauses as much as the celebrations. The way hands find each other without thinking. The laughter that sneaks up on you. The quiet sense of this is it that lives in between the big moments.
My approach is gentle and unobtrusive. I won’t ask you to perform or pretend. I’ll simply create space for you to be present, while I document the story as it naturally unfolds.
If that resonates with you, I’d love for you to explore my work and see if it feels like home. And if it does, let’s connect - no pressure, just an open conversation about what you’re dreaming up.
I can’t wait to meet you
Forever
MEET MIKAELA
your new favorite third wheel
Ever wonder what it’s like to work with me behind the scenes? Think less stiff poses, more laughing ‘til your cheeks hurt, sneaky glances, and all the little moments you didn’t even notice—but will never forget. I’m your hype-girl, your extra set of eyes, and your partner in making memories that actually feel like you.
Let’s have fun, make a little magic, and capture your story exactly as it unfolds. Can’t wait to hang out and make some memories together!

"i felt like I was with a true friend"
moment and ensuring everything goes off without a hitch is unmatched. In my own experience I felt like I was with a true friend who has my best interest in mind. Between every hiccup and obstacle there could be, Mikaela stepped up to the plate and hit it out of the park every time. I 1000% recommend Mikaela to any one who wishes to make their special moments last a life time.

“she makes your vision come to life”
"Mikaela is the BEST EVER! I have used Mikaela several times now, but she recently just did my proposal photoshoot. I had no idea I was getting engaged and she was behind the scenes for the entire process. Not only is her work absolutely stunning, but she makes your vision come to life. On top of that she is the sweetest soul. It takes a very special person to capture the most important moments in your life and she is the one I would choose over and over again!"

"hyped me up the whole time"
I had an amazing experience working with Mikaela for my branding photoshoot! From start to finish, she was professional, creative, and so much fun to work with. She really took the time to understand my vision and brought it to life even better than I imagined. Mikaela had so many great ideas! She made me feel totally comfortable in front of the camera, and hyped me up the whole time. The final photos are stunning and truly capture my brand’s personality. I can’t recommend her enough!
Let’s make photos that actually feel like you. Whether it’s your wedding day or a casual family session, we’ll keep it relaxed, have some fun, and create images that tell your story—exactly how it happens.
