Photography crafted to create connection with honesty and full authenticity.
Brand storytelling
We can just plan the shoot
We can dig deep to the root of why you started this work in the first place and tell the real story of why the work you do matters and how you do it.
You’ll leave this experience with the ability to tell your brand story in a way that your ideal client understands deeply.
I'll help you build lasting relationships based on authentic connection, a visual brand that resonates, and the ability to sustain a life and brand you love.

We can just plan the shoot, we can make a mood board, and We can just take the photos.
When you know who you are and what you stand for, people can’t help but listen. And who doesn’t want to be in that business?
I’m your partner in telling the story as it's really happening.
We can make a mood board
We can just take the photos.
This approach helps us build brands AND tell brand stories with genuine connection based on truly aligned values.
Are you ready to tell your brand’s story in a way that connects with your audience on a deeply authentic level?
You’re in the right place.
When we share our experiences with love and honesty, we can channel the truth we hold to create meaningful relationships with ourselves and others.
We start with a Story Board Clarity Session, which involves a 90 minute intensive “get to know each other” meeting, a Story Board reveal and comments in person or phone session (30 min), and a 60 minute final meeting to go over your finalized Story Board and any other assets we may have worked on together. Your Story Board is a hand designed document that condenses your brand down to your core values, inspiration photos, brand colors, a description of your consistent visual aesthetic, storytelling elements and most importantly, your vision and mission statements.
Here’s what the What We Saw process looks like:
Other assets built off of your Board may include:
A branding shoot designed to give you a gallery of photos that reflect your brands true essence.
Individualized lifestyle headshots that capture you as you are in this time to help your clients put a face to the name.
An introductory Social Media Writing Handbook customized for your brand including key phrases, storytelling elements and hashtags to get you started.
*If we’ve worked together in the past or you’re very clear on your defined mission and vision we may adapt/condense this process to an introductory questionnaire to bring me up to speed on where you’re currently at with your brand.
"I highly recommend working with Michaela if you need help visualizing your brand! I decided to work with Michaela after feeling lost while trying to picture how my brand and website would look. She helped me turn my ideas and inspiration into something tangible and beautiful.
The brand identity board has been such a great tool to refer to while working on my website and creating content. She helped me really focus in on my mission and how I wanted my brand to look and feel!"
