Hi! I’m Mikala Machemehl - a Minneapolis-based wedding, family, and newborn photographer, mom, and your cheerleader behind the camera. I’m known for a candid, natural approach that keeps skin tones true and prioritizes capturing emotions. Aside from taking beautiful photos, my priority is to always make sure you feel comfortable and cared for.
hi, I'm mikala
My husband and son are the LOMLs. We love spending time together- whether it’s exploring Minnesota’s beautiful bike trails, time at the cabin, or enjoying cozy nights at home. Our family moments inspire my work and remind me why capturing those real, candid interactions is so important.
Looking at photos of my own biggest moments- my wedding day, pregnancy, and the first tiny days with my newborn- reminds me how priceless these memories are. They’re the pictures I treasure most and reach for when I want to relive those feelings. That’s why I pour my heart into creating that for you.
After working together, my clients often tell me they were relieved to feel comfortable in front of the camera (even if they were nervous beforehand), and that the whole experience felt fun, not forced.
Mikala Machemehl Photography offers wedding and family photography for easygoing, sentimental people who value preserving their family's memories through timeless, high-quality images.
