Get to know the photographer
Wedding & Family Photographer
What a pleasure it is to have you here! I am the owner of Butterfly Child Photography & Leila's Village Project.
I am so excited to get to know you and capture these exciting or loving times in your life. When I decided to pursue photography, I didn't exactly know where the journey would take me. A few years later, I am just starting the business for it. My work is personal. While it is a collection of different moments, light and feeling - you will find bits and pieces of my heart as well.
Truthfully I am one of a kind, and willing to capture just about anything along with bringing the party!

I have 4 girls, one with wings and 3 here on earth with my sweet husband Brandon.

"What about Mikaela?"
Well I'm the heart behind Butterfly Child Photography. I’m a photographer, a mama, and a big believer in capturing the real moments — the messy hair, the muddy feet, the belly laughs, and quiet hugs. My work is all about letting kids be kids and families be themselves.
Butterfly Child Photography was born out of both love and loss — a tribute to my daughter in heaven and a celebration of the beautiful chaos of raising children earth side. I photograph with emotion, tenderness, and a little bit of magic, honoring both the joy and depth that come with family life.
If you’re looking for photos that feel like you, that hold meaning, and that preserve the fleeting seasons of life you have found your girl to capture them!

Mikaela is amazing! So kind and understanding. She captured our wedding day and was able to give tips and tricks to help the day go smoothly!
We were even blessed with a trainee she had brought along and did amazing as well! Always making sure her clients are comfortable
and that they are doing great. I would definitely recommend her to anyone!
