two years of michaela needs photography 🀍

when i started this journey, i never could have imagined how far the Lord would bring me. countless families, milestones, memories, weddings, opportunities to travel, friendships formed, and connections with clients that mean more to me than i can put into words.

along the way, i’ve discovered a piece of myself i didn’t know was there, and for that, i am so grateful. this journey has brought me to some of the most beautiful placesβ€”gardens, parks, open fields, beaches, and inside warm and welcoming homes. each has held a story, and i’ve had the privilege of capturing a little piece of it.

i remember every session and every person i’ve had the privilege of photographing. being invited into your lives, watching your families grow, and preserving moments you’ll one day look back on is something i will never take for granted.

whether you’ve booked a session, shared my work, referred a friend, or simply cheered me on, thank you. you have helped this little dream grow, and i am more grateful than you all know.

all glory to God for these past two years and whatever He has planned next. 🀍

rainy days made us work for it, but we got these maternity photos in! πŸ‚

i know those last few weeks can feel like forever, but the window to capture them is short. i do everything i can to make it happen so you have one less thing on your list while you wait for baby. 🀍

so thankful we squeezed in the sweetest session at milburn orchards between all the random rain! pumpkin maternity photos now, newborn snuggles at holiday minis this december… i can’t wait! ✨

A little extra special getting to capture this beautiful senior who happens to be a photographer herself! πŸ“ΈπŸ€βœ¨

Always such an honor when another creative trusts you to capture their memories. So excited for all that’s ahead for her! πŸŽ“

b + w | 9.6.26 🀍

when i first picked up a camera, i was a new mom trying to find "my thing".

somewhere in the middle of postpartum and learning how to be a mother, i was craving something that was just mine. something that allowed me to be creative, make beautiful things, and rediscover who i was outside of motherhood.

i took a leap of faith, and it has genuinely changed my life.

motherhood is one of my greatest gifts, but photography has reminded me that i am so many things, too. a mother, a wife, an artist, a creative, and someone who is still learning and becoming. i didn't lose myself in motherhood. in so many ways, i've discovered more of who i am because of it.

when bria and wayne asked me to photograph their wedding in cancun, the imposter syndrome was REAL. i questioned whether i was talented enough, experienced enough, or even capable of something like this. but sometimes growth means trusting the gifts God has given you and taking the leap anyway.

and somehow, that leap brought me all the way to cancun, mexico, capturing the most beautiful love story. πŸ₯Ή

bria + wayne, thank you for trusting me with such a special day. it was truly an honor. 🀍

what started as a way to find myself again has become such a beautiful part of who i am. 🀍

Toby + Lizzy 🀍

Getting to capture the wedding day of two dear friends made this one especially sweet.

My prayer with every gallery I deliver is that, through these photographs, my clients would see a glimpse of the Lord’s beauty and goodness β€” in the love they’ve been given, the people surrounding them, and the moments He has so graciously woven together.

But photographing a marriage centered on Christ makes that prayer feel even more special. What a gift it is to witness two people choose one another, covenant before God, and begin this new chapter together.

So grateful I got to preserve a little piece of what the Lord is doing in Toby + Lizzy’s story. 🀍

Whatever I do, may it all be for His glory. ✨
