Mazzone Olive Oil in Sarasota was the perfect choice for our Valentine’s Day celebration. “Count your nights by stars, not shadows; count your life with smiles, not tears.” Conta i tuoi notti di stelle, non ombre; contare la tua vita con un sorriso, non lacrime. ~ Italian Proverb Anyone who knows me knows that I married...
New here? Good.
No fluff. No filters. Just real.
I’m Michaela. I photograph seniors in that strange, in-between year. The last summer before the dorm room. The kid who still texts you the good stuff, even when she swears she’s too busy for you.
No brick walls. No “smile because I said so.”
I want the giggle. The walk that turns into a run because she forgot the camera was even there.
Real photos. Real teens. Every time.
Glad you’re here.

The best mini session photos never come from the "say cheese" moment. They come from the twirl, the giggle, the moment you forget the camera`s even there. 💛
That`s exactly what Holiday Mini Sessions are built for, real moments, not stiff poses.
