MY STORY


Meet mikala

 
 

My photography journey started. . .

in my early adolescent years and continued into college. Originally, I went to school for my BFA in photography, but played it “safe” by switching into sociology. In college I had the resources to explore B&W film, fell inlove, and discovered how meditative a dark room is. For over 12+ years I’ve been viewing the world through a framed perspective, camera in hand. For me, photography has always been an outlet for creative expression and inspiration. I LOVE photographing people and I feel most in my element when doing so. It seriously gets me so excited!

 
 

 I approach photographing weddings and sessions in an

intuitive, perceptive, and creative way

 

 
 

while engaging with the environment I am in. I am much more drawn to the organically unfolding details that just happen rather than forcing a “smile for the camera” moment. I’d prefer less shot lists and more conversations about the feeling you want to have and the moments you’re looking forward to reliving.

 

I am a big mush, strong believer in vulnerability, and always down to get weird. I daydream often about creating a short film and love bringing creativity to life. I feel most comfortable when I have a camera in hand and working with people who are passionate. I love a good dance sesh and crying over soppy romance movies.
