About

Good to Meet You

I am a traveler and a lover of life.

 

A singer and performer.

 

I am also an introvert. Doesn't that make things interesting?

 

I used to think people who said they loved working out were lying. Now I'm one of them.

 

I love coffee, lunch dates with good friends, and beach days in January.

 

I am obsessed with old photographs. Always have been. Always will be. See?

 

How about you? What makes your house a home? What makes you tick? Drop me a note and tell me about it, and then let's craft just the perfect way to capture it together.

 

xoxo,

michaela

You don’t make a photograph just with a camera...

You bring to the act of photography

all the pictures you have seen,

the books you have read,

the music you have heard,

the people you have loved.
