My philosophy

I care less about perfect poses and more about preserving how it all actually felt.


The nervous hand squeezes. The wind in your veil. The happy tears you swore wouldn’t happen. The way your partner looks at you when you aren’t paying attention.


My approach is candid, emotionally driven, and gently guided when needed — creating images that feel honest, cinematic, and deeply like you.

“Michanae made the whole process feel smooth and easy during such an overwhelming season with a new baby. She came prepared with inspiration, direction, flexibility, and an artistic eye. We felt supported, and we’re so happy and thankful to have those precious moments captured.”

“Working with Michanae felt so easygoing and natural. I came in feeling awkward, but she gave me direction, helped me feel more comfortable with myself, and listened so well. When I received my final gallery, I felt like a boss.”
