A woman wearing a sea shell necklace and a black spaghetti strap dress is underwater with her head submerged, and her long dark hair floats around her. The other half of the image shows two women standing on a rocky shoreline, both dressed in swimwear and wearing shell necklaces. One woman has long brown hair and is wearing a black swimsuit with thin straps, while the other has long blonde hair and is wearing a floral-patterned bikini. The sky is partly cloudy and the ocean is in the background.

  • Whether you need dynamic action shots, natural lifestyle moments, or something in between, I’ll work with you to capture the details that make your brand unique. If you’re launching your next collection, or just building up your content library, let’s bring your brand’s story to life.

    • Digital and Film - Based on your vision, I can shoot both digital and/or analog to evoke the feeling you want to portray.

    • On Location - So much of telling a story depends on where it happens. I’ll create the perfect atmosphere by choosing a shoot location that fits your vision.

    • Effortless and authentic - My photography style doesn’t shout “this was a photoshoot”, instead it makes you wish you were there.

    • Creative direction and pre-production curation - I’ll work with you closely on a mood board that matches your vision for the project to ensure we’re both aligned ahead of the shoot.

    • Post-production and editing - each chosen image will match your brand’s aesthetic and the project’s vibe.

  • Brand photography is more than just pressing a button. I’ll make sure every detail is set so when the shot is taken, your vision comes to life.

    • Location and talent scouting - I’ll find the right people and places that will tell your brand’s story as you envisioned it.

    • Logistics and planning - I’ll make sure everything and everyone is in the right place at the right time - with coffee and food included.

  • A picture might tell a thousand words, but in today’s world, we all know that video rules supreme.

    • Short-form video - in 4k or shot with iPhone, we can take video content for social content - and edit into Reels/TikToks too!

    • BTS - sometimes behind the scenes are just as juicy as the finished product - and audiences love it. We can include bts video in your package to ensure your team and audience can get front row seats to the whole story.

Testimonials

Kevin Deneen, Moterra Campervans

“Michaela approached us through a few different channels about a collaboration - a testament to her strong work ethic - and gosh am I glad we got involved! It was clear from our first conversation that she had an ambitious yet clear vision for this project. We were excited to be involved, and she did a great job addressing our unique needs. It's always a joy to see someone's vision come together in real time, and I loved watching the pieces of this project fall into place as a result of Michaela's methodical execution. On a personal level, I enjoyed every single conversation I had with Michaela. Her positive energy, big ideas, and grounded practicality are a rare combination. I'm looking forward to staying in touch and working together whenever possible.”
