Kind words

Mikaela, we were SO happy we chose you to capture our special day! Everything went so smoothly, from the first time we spoke to getting our photos,
which we absolutely loved! They were exactly what we hoped for. Your kindness and talent just shines, and you have such a unique ability to bring a sense of calm to moments that could otherwise be a stressful part of the wedding day!

We love you and your work, and hope our paths will cross again soon. THANK YOU from the bottom of our hearts.

xoxo Noah & Elise

  • I spy with my little eye...the caption to this photo 🖤 We had a few family photos taken on the weekend, a trade with friend and fellow photographer @dandewaard and his family. No one got new clothes, haircuts were put off. We got to drink hot coffee and hang out in a beautiful cafe, out of the rain. It was perfect and imperfect, a little messy and pretty sweet. ☕️
  • My boys. One made me a wife, one made me a mama, and the other will always be my baby. 🥰 Praying Zaya and Jack grow up to be like their Daddy; kind, generous, a sense of humor...they’re on point with the handsome looks, in my humble opinion.👌🏼 📷 by @dandewaard
  • Excited to have partnered up with my friend @healthy.joyful.life to use profits from the sale of Holiday Sets this month to create care packages for our local women’s shelter. 💛 Have you seen our limited edition sets yet?! Something for just about everyone on your Christmas list. ✨ Pictured here are the Jellies and the Mini Lipgloss Vault. Incredibly conditioning, non-sticky, pretty color + shine and as always, no harmful ingredients. Check out the link in profile for all the Holiday Set goodness 🎄#giftclean
  • Friends, guess what. @beautycounter is offering half off enrollment kits through November 17th for anyone who joins and purchases a starter set (think deep discounts on their best products). And right now, when you buy a starter set, you’ll be receiving a free Countermatch collection next month when they launch their new glass packaging. Part of their efforts in being kind to the environment. 💕 Joining was one of the best decisions I’ve made this year. Maybe it could be one of yours, too. If you have questions, I’d love to chat.
  • Soaking up an extra long weekend with a family movie night in the works...any excuse to simply sit on the couch and snuggle my babies ✨ In my stories today I shared how I prepare for a session and select photo locations, as well as sneak peeks from today’s three portrait sessions 💛
  • I was randomly flagged for additional screening at security on our trip. Having a husband who works for an airline, I've heard stories of how this process has detected traces of heavy metals on women. These heavy metals are linked to their skin care products; ingredients that are also found in explosives. 😱 Many ingredients in these personal care products have been found to cause infertility, allergies, hormone disruption, and even cancer. 💔 Did you know that the FDA is not required to screen cosmetics for health safety? 🧴 Talk about explosives, doesn't that just about make your head explode?? 🤯 Fortunately, there are more and more companies who make it easier for us to choose safer products. @beautycounter promises to never use ingredients that are linked to health harm (google The Never List!). 💄 If you're wondering how you can switch to safer products (and still get high performance out of them!), I'd love to chat with you. Feel free to comment with your questions and/or DM me 💕
  • Fell hard for those desert tones, and you. 🌵 I see visions of rainbow sherbet and basically my dream wardrobe palette, and two people who got to rediscover their love for travel and simply being a couple. 💕
  • What do you do while on a kid-free vacation? Sleep and look at photos of your kids. 💕 Last night I slept for 11 straight hours. 😱 Years of little and broken sleep have a way of taking a toll and catching up to you. My goal is to establish a better bedtime routine for myself that will hopefully translate into a better night’s sleep, which should mean a better day for my family and myself. 🙏🏼 Now. Any tips on how to get there? 📷 @rebeccasehn
