Hey, I’m Mikala- your candid-capturing BFF

I’m the kind of photographer who believes in real moments, big emotions, and the candid connections that mean everything. 

Whether I’m capturing a wedding day, a growing family, or those fleeting newborn snuggles, my goal is always the same: to make you feel comfortable, present, and at ease in front of the camera. No stiff poses, no pressure—just genuine, joy-filled moments that you’ll look back on and think, wow, that was us.

I’m a mom, a creative, and a sucker for the little moments we don’t realize are big until they’re memories. I became a photographer because I love freezing those irreplaceable snapshots of life—ones that make you feel something long after the moment has passed.

And if you’re the kind of person who values connection over perfection, we’re going to get along really well. My clients are the laid-back, the fun-loving, the ones who trust in the magic of the moment. 

More Than Just a Photographer

Fun Facts

  • I start every day with (too much) black coffee
  • Sunsets over sunrises, beach > mountains (but I'll go anywhere!)
  • I’m an embarrassingly picky eater (seriously, it’s inconvenient).
  • When I’m not behind the camera, I’m probably hanging with my son + husband, binging a true crime documentary or escaping to the cabin with our family.

When you hire me, you’re getting someone who truly cares about telling your story.


This Isn’t Just a Job to Me—It’s a Passion
