Being a photographer isn't just a job for me, it’s a passion. As a mother, I understand how quickly time passes, and I know how important it is to capture the moments that mean the most. My photography style is true to life- soft, bright, and full of love. I strive to make each session fun, relaxed, and memorable. From start to finish, I’ll guide you through the process, ensuring you feel comfortable and confident every step of the way. I want my clients to feel like old friends- easygoing, at ease, and ready to create some incredible memories together.
I'm A Big Fan of human connection + sharing stories
Nice to meet you, I'm Mikala
My goal is to make the entire experience feel effortless, so you can focus on what truly matters: enjoying the moment and being with the ones you love. I want you to look at your photos years from now and feel the same emotions, remembering not just how you looked, but how you felt in that moment.
About my family
My husband and son are the LOMLs. We love spending time together, whether it’s exploring Minnesota’s beautiful outdoors, enjoying cozy nights at home, or just laughing through the everyday chaos. Our family moments inspire my work and remind me why capturing those real, candid interactions is so important.
the ones who value real moments, deep connections, and authentic storytelling. They understand that photography is about more than just pictures, it’s about preserving memories, capturing emotions, and telling the story of their lives in a way that feels true to who they are.
They’re laid-back and easygoing, trusting me to guide them through the session so they can focus on what really matters- being present and enjoying the moment.
