philosophy / approach
Time is a thief. This is your best attempt at freezing time in your current season.Photographs have a unique way of bringing us back to moments that we want to hold dear to and remember for a lifetime.
If you’re looking for a long, drawn-out session — Mikayla is not your girl. If you’re looking for a warm, efficient, easy-going, candid, simple yet creative session — Mikayla just might be for you.
Sessions are typically quick (20 - 40 minutes) and include around 100 high-quality digital and/or film photos, all handled with the utmost care. Turnaround time is around 1-2 weeks.
Mikayla takes a documentary approach — documenting moments as they are while giving guidance as needed. She prioritizes creating art rather than a perfectly posed photo, freezing time — artistically.
