I’m the kind of photographer who believes in real moments, big emotions, and the little in-between interactions 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.

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

I’m a mom, a creative, and a total 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 just fine. My clients are the laid-back, the fun-loving, the ones who trust in the magic of the moment. 

More Than Just a Photographer—A Sentimental Storyteller

Fun Facts

  • (Black) Coffee is life. 
  • Sunsets over sunrises, always.
  • Beach > mountains, forever and ever.
  • 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 not just getting a photographer—you’re getting someone who truly cares about telling your story. The happy tears, the unplanned laughter, the moments you don’t even realize are happening—I’m here to catch them all so you can relive them forever.

If that sounds like the kind of experience you’re looking for, let’s connect. I’d love to tell your story. 💛
