More About Mikayla! 

My mission is to serve bold, outgoing, and joyful families. 

Hi, I'm Mikayla—and I specialize in photographing families who live life boldly and unapologetically. The ones who dance in the kitchen, laugh until they cry, and aren’t afraid to get a little messy. If you're the kind of family that turns ordinary moments into unforgettable adventures, you're exactly who I love to work with.

My sessions are fun, relaxed, and full of energy. No stiff poses or forced smiles—just the genuine connection that makes your family you. Whether you're chasing toddlers through a field, piling into a group hug, or sharing a quiet moment with your husband, I’ll be there to capture it all with heart and honesty.

Because the best memories aren’t perfect—they’re real.

Let’s create images that feel as vibrant, joyful, and one-of-a-kind as your family.

For Families Who Laugh Loud, Love Big, and Embrace the Beautiful Chaos

Mikayla is super sweet, and made the entire session feel natural and comfortable! Don’t think twice - just book!"

With Mikayla, though, I was able to trust her absolutely. She did a fantastic job wrangling my family, capturing who we really are, and giving me the experience I try to give my own clients. I recommend her to anyone looking for an amazing photographer."

"As a photographer, it can be really hard to select who to take the reigns of your family photos.
