“do not hesitate to book with her"
Can’t put into words how amazing Mikaela was with us during our maternity session. She was very patient and so so kind. I was worried about how we were going to pose for these pictures and also worried about how they would turn out because my fiance very much dislikes pictures lol, but Mikaela made everything so easy and everything just flowed so naturally, we were both so happy with the results and the way she guided us and had the greatest ideas for poses. Our pictures are just so dreamy and we can’t thank her enough for capturing these beautiful memories for us. Thank you Mik you are truly gifted. Do not hesitate to book with her I promise you won’t regret it!

“she makes your vision come to life”
"Mikaela is the BEST EVER! I have used Mikaela several times now, but she recently just did mu proposal photoshoot. I had no idea I was getting engaged and she was behind the scenes for the entire process. Not only is her work absolutely stunning, but she makes your vision come to life. On top of that she is the sweetest soul. It takes a very special person to capture the most important moments in your life and she is the one I would choose over and over again!"

“definitely hire Mikaela Rose"
HIGHLY recommend! Mikaelas photos came out AMAZING. I had tons of people complimenting me and asking who took the pictures. I already have more shoots lined up including a maternity shoot and my baby shower. If you want high quality photos, professionalism, and a friendly photographer, definitely hire Mikaela Rose Photography!
