About
I photograph everything as if it were my own wedding, event, child, family, products, etc.. I put all my passion into it, no matter what kind of session it is. Its not work to me when I love it so much! I think that's so important because I believe that does show through your work as a photographer! I also feel like I am my worst critic, when it comes to my images, they HAVE to have a wow factor to them, or stand out in a very pleasing way. My work represents me, so every detail about a session is very important to me. Attention to everything is key. I feel if I'm happy with the images, because I'm such a perfectionist, my clients will definitely be happy. Im beyond delighted when I provide my clients the final images and they are blown away and so impressed. I aim for that with EVERY SINGLE SESSION! Every session counts! To provide your clients with great images is one thing, but to also provide them with absolute happiness and excitement and pride, over documenting their precious moments, products they work so hard to make happen, and capture their accomplishments, is the goal I really try to achieve! Its more then just pictures to look at, its the feeling you have when looking at them! THAT is my job, and that is what I feel makes a photographer a great photographer. **** ATTENTION***** As every photo session is different and unique in its own way, it is the responsibility of the client to bring their own props if they wish to have them as they are not provided by the photographer. Especially with the current circumstances we are all facing with covid 19, it is also recommended and encouraged for sanitary reasons! Thank you!

Mikhaela was a great photographer and got my pictures back to me faster than I expected. She did an amazing job with my photos. If I ever need pictures in Athens again I will definitely be hiring her again.

She was absolutely fabulous!! She worked so well with my 2 year old! She drove out of her way to accommodate my family but she knew exactly where to pictures when she got there. She was very laid back and listened to all my requests. I loved that she showed me some of the images along the way so I could get an idea of how it was going. I have not gotten my pictures back yet but I cannot wait to see them!!!!! I highly recommend her!! Victoria

Mikhaela was a great photographer for my surprise proposal. Took place in Piedmont park. When we arrived, a family was there doing a portrait. She had me stall as she talked to them and freed up the space I wanted to propose in. Photos were great and I appreciate her help. Would recommend

Details: Proposal photoshoot • Candid • Outdoors • One location • Online or digital proofs and prints • Ability to purchase prints online • My home, venue, etc.

Mikhaela is just the best! On such an important day she was just fantastic. Everyone said she was just awesome with how she interacted with our friends and family and her ideas of what pictures to take and how. Proof is in the results! When we got our pictures they we're just the best! Very professional and so happy she captured those goofy moments. I will use her for any event in the future as we plan to use her for our celebration party we are doing in a couple of months. Thank you so much Mikhaela!

Details: Wedding • 25 people or fewer • Indoors • Digital or online download • Flash drive • Bride or groom • $250 - $500

She was amazing the entire day! Clifford and I really couldn't have asked for anyone better. She knew exact spots that would be great to photograph even though shes never been to the venue before. I would definitely recommend her! Thank You Mikhaela!
