Meet your photographer, Michayla

I am so happy you're here :))

My passion and purpose is to serve my community and beyond, creating art and capturing important moments in peoples lives that they can look back on and admire forever. I put in hours upon hours of hard meticulous work into the editing of the photos I take, making sure each and every picture in the album not only looks beautiful - but genuinely tells a story, your story. That is the ultimate goal.

MY MISSION, MY WHY & A LITTLE ABOUT ME

This is so much more to me than taking pictures, its about the whole experience & creating life long friendships.

At the end of the day you are more than a client to me, I go into every photoshoot or wedding with every intention to create a happy upbeat environment and most of all, to have fun!! That is what its all about.

To expand on what I mentioned on the home page about my journey, when I first picked up a camera in 2016 I was so curious and eager to learn more, I spent years shooting with friends and family, watching a crazy amount of YouTube & reaching out to photographers I knew for any tips they could give me as a beginner. In 2020 I finally second shot my first wedding and I was hooked!! Watching, assisting and photographing someone wedding day - the best day of their life, was nothing short of magical. What an honor is is to witness this precious love, two people becoming one in the presence of the lord. Priceless!! I second shot and assisted other photographers for a year and a half before taking on anything of my own, and when I finally left the nest it was everything I hoped it would be and more. I acquired my LLC in 2022 making my business official, one of the best decisions I've ever made, I never looked back!

FUN FACTS ABOUT ME

A huge part of my life is Jesus, all glory to Him. I keep my faith in the forefront of all that I am and all that I do.

I am based in Georgia but born and raised in Florida, you can find me there visiting family and shooting weddings as often as i can!

My long list of hobbies include; working on my drift car, long boarding, playing sims or COD, snowboarding, running, dirt biking, watching reality tv for mindless entertainment, editing & taking pictures of course. The list goes on and on, thankfully my ADHD "hobby hopping" is what I often do which in turn allows me to experience and try tons of new things lol.

SOME SWEET PICS W MY COUPLES :')

I made it a mission to get at least one pic with my bride and grooms this year (2023), most of the time it slips my mind, but I am so happy when I remember lol. So if I'm shooting your wedding, we'll have to take one together for the mems!!
