South Central PA Family, Lifestyle, and Wedding Photographer
Based in Hanover, PA
Hi, I'm Mikaela.
I am honored to have you here. As someone who loves capturing unique and precious moments in my own life, I can truly say I LOVE doing what I get to do behind the camera. Photography for me is not just taking pictures. I want to capture MOMENTS. I want to capture FEELINGS. I want to get to know YOU and your story, while also documenting it so you can cherish it forever.
Capturing Motherhood

My own experiences in motherhood guide me when working with moms and their littles. I know your time is valuable. I know the days can be full of tasks and lists and so many to-do's you can hardly stand it. I know you're running on caffeine and your toddler's leftover mac and cheese. It's so easy to compare yourself to the "perfect" mom online with the "perfect" family and their "perfect" matching outfits. As moms, we strive so far and stretch ourselves so thin for our babies and our families who we love most. But what if as a mom you could see the gentleness, wildness, and strength of yourself in the midst of the chaos? Not to mention the father loving that mama through it all, not caring if she's in her best dress or yoga pants and messy bun still thinking he's won it all. To be able to have images and heirlooms of the beauty of motherhood and family is something that is so precious.
That is what I want to do for you.
Let me capture your love.
Brandon + Rachel Engagement session
From the proposal to your wedding day, until forever after, time with one another is so special. Whether you are newly engaged or are looking for an anniversary shoot, capturing moments with your favorite person is just SO important. Having photos to look back on when the days are hard, and things are more complicated than they used to be, can be just the encouragement you may need that day. To be able to remember the joy, the butterflies, the love- that's what it's about.
