Introduction
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.

Mikhaela was very friendly and professional. A funny mishap during the shoot (log), but that's what makes these things fun. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer.

This was my first time using the hiring a professional photographer for portrait photos. Mikhaela did an excellent job with my graduation photos! I flew down from NYC for a graduation party in my hometown, She kept me in the loop throughout the photoshoot, solicited my input, and provided her own creative direction. I would definitely book her again if I need professional photos in GA.

Details: Graduation portrait • Natural / environmental (photographed in an outdoor setting) • Artistic (focus on composition, lighting) • Traditional / classic (looking directly at the camera) • Outdoors • Digital or online download • My home, venue, etc.
