I’m a Minneapolis-based family photographer serving the Twin Cities and greater Minnesota, focused on natural, connection driven photography. I also take on select brand collaborations and travel-based projects that align with my visual style.

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.
