My Roots

My dad gifted me an old Canon camera when I was twelve, and as I grew older I kept learning and kept capturing. Michaela Ahrendt Photography officially started in 2016 out my back door at Half Moon Trail Resort, which was my childhood home. It was a perfect setting for photography and families loved having photos taken at the lake. I had a friend who did photography and recommended I attend Bismarck State College, which I did, and genuinely enjoyed getting my degree in Graphic Design and Communications. I am now back in the Park Rapids area and still loving photographing at Half Moon Trail, along with several other resorts in the area.

Michaela provides a very comfortable, natural, and laid-back experience. Our family has loved working with her year after year. Some of our favorite things about working with Michaela are her genuine, candid moments that never feel posed, and her editing style that keeps photos looking authentic. The number of photos we receive for a mini session always exceeds our expectations, and the pricing feels fair for the quality she delivers.
