Michaela nelson Photography

I strive to capture the true emotions during our time together. Whether it be the sweet little hands that sweetly graze your face or little giggles as the kids run around. Maybe even, the touch of the one you love as you share hugs and kisses. I want to take you back to that moment when you look at the memories I have captured.

Our time on earth is precious, let's make those adventures together last a life time!

Testimonials

I cannot say enough amazing things about working with Michaela over the past two years!! We’ve done four photo shoots together, and each experience has been amazing but having her photograph my wedding was truly something special. She captured the day so beautifully and authentically, preserving every meaningful moment in a way I’ll treasure forever.

What sets her apart is how comfortable she makes you feel in front of the camera. I’ve always been nervous about how being photographed, but she has a way of putting you completely at ease and bringing out your most natural self. Her talent, professionalism, and genuine care for her clients truly shine through in her work.

I couldn’t have asked for anything better and would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly skilled, but also a joy to work with!! I will definitely continue to use her for all of my photography needs in the future as well!

Testimonials

If you’re looking for a photographer Michaela is THAT GIRL!! I stumbled upon her work about a year ago and booked her for my October 2025 wedding and boy did she DELIVER! My husband and I first met her on our family farm where she first took our engagement photos (with our highland cows too). She immediately made us feel comfortable and at ease. This shoot gave me the farm girl photos of my dreams I then booked a bridal boudoir shoot with her a month or so before the wedding where I again was met with professionalism and a friend-like presence. That shoot also turned out phenomenal. Then the wedding time came and our day went exactly like we had hoped with the most beautiful sunset one could ask for. I couldn’t recommend her more! It’s like booking a professional shoot with a genuine friend. 15/10
