My philosophy

Taking moments and memories for families to treasure

Two people walking together on a wooden boardwalk along a coastal beach during autumn.
Two figures walk hand in hand along a sunlit path through golden fields at sunset.

Having children has been my front row seat to a life that is wizzing by.  Photographs are my way of holding onto the little moments that will one day encompass their childhood.  It is a tremendous privilege for me to be able to do this for others as well.

Kind words

"Shay is an amazing photographer! She did our maternity photos, newborn photos, and our wedding photos and they all turned out better than we could have imagined! The photos are keepsakes we will treasure!  I don't love being in front of the camera, but she makes it easy and puts up with my goofy husband! She's done a number of photos for sports my daughter has been a part of and these photos are also fantastic! I highly recommend hiring Shay for any and all special moments!!"

Brooklyn

"Michaela is not only a master behind the camera but also a true professional.  She is so accommodating, very responsive to any questions, approachable demeanour, and always makes us feel at ease throughout every session.  

We have always had such a great experience! From a group family photo shoot, to team photos,  to her talent behind the camera capturing moments from local hockey event, to marketing photos for my business, family photos and newborn photos.  The list goes on.

Shay is efficient and captures the true nature of people and events.  She time and time again listened to my ideas and incorporated them seamlessly into the shoot.  I cannot recommend Michaela enough."  

Natalie

"We love Michaela.  

She is patient with the kids, and makes them laugh and knows exactly how to make them cooperate - and embraces the chaos.  The pictures always turn out beautiful!

We have had Michaela to the ranch multiple times and have never been disappointed."
