A B O U T

 

Hello, I'm Michaela.

My love for photography began on my seventh birthday, when I received my very first camera, and I've been taking pictures ever since. What started as a childhood fascination grew into a lifelong passion, spending more than a decade behind the camera capturing milestones, everyday magic, and the people I love most. In October 2026, I finally took the leap and turned that lifelong passion into a business.


Based in Northern Virginia and Washington, DC, I'm a fine art family and lifestyle photographer drawn to the little things that make life extraordinary.


I believe photography is more than beautiful images. It's about preserving a feeling, a season of life, and the moments that pass far too quickly. My background in advertising strategy has helped shape my love for storytelling and my eye for the small details that bring a story to life. My goal is to create photographs that feel authentic to you, and images that become treasured heirlooms and grow more meaningful with each passing year.


Just as important as the photographs is the experience itself. You deserve to feel comfortable, celebrated, and full present, enjoying the moment unfolding around you while I preserve them.



When I'm not behind the camera, you'll likely find me dreaming about my next adventure. Traveling is a passion I can't stay away from, and visiting every continent is high on my bucket list. Exploring new places reminds me to slow down, notice the little things, and find beauty everywhere.
