I’m SO grateful and giddy you’re here - welcome! I am a lifestyle and documentary photographer based in Warm Springs, Georgia, documenting families through each season of unique growth and celebration. No matter what your current stage of life looks like, I’m convinced you (and I) are living in the “good 'ole days,” and I want to help you romanticize them right here and now — while also cherishing them for all the years to come. 

Whether it’s the monumental, never-want-to-forget, “big" moments, or the random Tuesday, didn’t-go-as-planned, little (but OH-so-special) ones in between, I LOVE hearing and telling your stories.

I'm MiKalla!

Hey there,

From assisting my photographer mom, studying Photojournalism, and launching a business, I’ve been documenting stories for well over a decade. This array of experience and education has set a full foundation for my technical skills, but a keen eye for detail and emotion is my biggest asset. My approach looks like gently guiding you with genuine conversation, while stepping back to capture your authentic interactions. The real and raw, subtle and in-between moments are my specialty.

I pick up a camera first and foremost because of my Creator. Life with Jesus is not without hardship but it is full of HOPE, and because of Him, I seek to worship and serve through this gift and passion He has so evidently instilled in me. It is not lost on me that it is truly a treasure to be able to do something I love AND stay home as a mother and homemaker. When you entrust me with your precious family moments, I am able to provide and be present for mine.

It is with the empathy, sentiment, and attention to detail the Lord has knit in me that I show up to document your most beloved people and your oh-so-sweet, but fleeting seasons. I genuinely care about your story and telling it as true to life as possible. When you work with me, you receive timeless portraits full of all the most real and raw moments in between. My images are full of true color, honest emotion, and real life.

My ideal session? To simply show up to your safest and favorite places, your humans completely themselves, with all the beauty of your life just as it is – right here, right now. Is it not the most ordinary of days that matter the most?

When I'm not behind the camera, you can find me smothering my baby girl in kisses, sippin' on a matcha latte, and probably listening to a podcast episode or audiobook. Football season finds us in the stands, cheering for our favorite coach, my husband Jake.

Living on the Lord's new mercies each day.
