I can’t say enough about Micaela as a person let alone about her photography. I contacted Micaela years ago for some engagement photos. What was supposed to be a one time photo shoot now turned into a friendship and photographer for a lifetime! The walls in our home is covered in her photos! We absolutely LOVED her work and not only that but Micaela poured her heart and soul not only into our pictures but into our family! When we contact her for any life events she not only books us as soon as possible but she shares our same excitement! We grew to love her so much that we asked her to photograph the birth of our little girl and not only did Micaela again over do herself with her work but she gave us one of the most precious moments in our lifetime that we can always look back on and relive. To this day I go through our photos and relive the excitement and feelings of that day! I can’t say enough- Micaela Burkholder photography is simply the best! She will be our family photographer for years to come!
I couldn’t possibly put into words just how amazing Micaela is! She is professional, but so sweet and friendly. She is always willing to go the extra mile to get “that” picture. She is creative, and helpful, affordable and gives you AMAZING work. Her willingness to help you capture exactly what you’re looking for puts her steps above others in this area. Micaela has done our seasonal, birthday, maternity, newborn, AND birth pictures. All we’re done with so much enthusiasm and kindness, and she’s so flexible while working with children! We love Micaela, her work, and the memories she’s given us the past 5 years; I can’t imagine booking a session with anyone else!
This was our first time using Micaela and it will not be the last! She made the newborn session super easy, she came to us and brought all the supplies, I just had to supply the baby. She was extremely patient with both our baby and our pup who made her appearances in some of the pictures and overall just a very professional, thoughtful and caring person. She really understood what we wanted even if we didn't exactly know (first time with newborn pictures) and stuck with it until she got "the shot". She was so great with our family and I cannot wait to use her in the future as our little man and family grows. Book her, you will not regret it!
Micaela has done 3 sessions for our family over the past couple years and has always been super flexible, responsive, and produces beautiful photos! She went out of her way to reschedule my maternity shoot THREE times due to weather/other complications and still fit us in within the timeframe we wanted. She also worked some magic with posing/editing when my 2-year-old fell and scraped up her face the SAME day as our photos were scheduled - you could hardly notice in the final edits! Micaela is awesome with kids and overall does an amazing job!
Thank you Micaela for the exceptional quality and care you put in to our newborn photo shoot! Our baby was a little fussy during the shoot, however, Micaela took the time to unsure she had quality photos. The pictures turned out amazing and I am so grateful for Micaela for capturing these moments of our son as a newborn!
Micaela did an amazing job with our in-home newborn session! I was in need of a photographer last minute due to a cancelation and she was quick to respond. Her business process is very professional and detailed. She arrived on time and was so friendly and fun to work with! Micaela took time to pose us naturally to get the best shots and helped include our dog in a few too. Our gallery arrived in a timely manner and they look wonderful! Thank you Micaela!
We first asked Micaela to take our engagement photos and we were in awe at how amazing they turned out. It was our first time getting pictures and we were super nervous about the “fake smile” or awkwardness but let me tell you she had us smiling and laughing the entire time. Little did she know we were pregnant and because of how incredible the pictures and our experience was, I immediately asked her to save a date in the future for maternity pictures. Once again she exceeded our expectations and we were in love with gallery of photos that we obviously asked her to do newborn pictures. She captured our little boy so perfectly and made sure she got all the little details from his tiny lips to the hair on the back of his arms. These are pictures we will forever cherish and we’re so thankful Micaela took them for us. She is your own personal hype girl and she’s always so excited to be taking pictures. You can tell photography is her passion and her work is beyond perfection.
Micaela has such an amazing gift! She took our maternity and newborn photos and the experience was great. She captured the next step of our lives perfectly, our photos came out beautifully. She was so patient with our little one even when he became fussy! We recommend her to anyone who wants their memories captured! We can’t stop looking at our photos!
Micaela was the absolute best to have take our baby boy’s newborn pictures!! She went above and beyond and stayed an extra hour just to make sure she got all the perfect shots! Our album included so many photos to choose from and the quality is gorgeous! I would recommend Micaela to anyone I know!
Micaela is fantastic to work with! I've used her for maternity and newborn photo shoots, and she far exceeded my expectations! She is wonderful at capturing portraits outdoors and has a creative eye in outdoor settings. She also was so accommodating for our newborn photoshoot during the pandemic and came to our home to capture the photos, and she was great and patient with our 12 day old baby to capture the greatest pictures! I highly recommend her!
Micaela was hired by my husband to surprise me because she has been my dream photographer for years. What I thought would be maternity photos with a Samsung phone to capture the pictures, turned out to be Micaela standing at my car door when I got out!! She is simply amazing at photography, helps you pose perfectly, hypes you up and makes you feel beautiful, and is so sweet. I cannot wait for our newborn photos!!!
Micaela was absolutely awesome at our session! We had a fresh 48 session with her and we could not be happier. We had a cranky, sleepy toddler and a stubborn, wiggly little newborn who did not want to cooperate. Micaela worked her magic as a baby whisperer and got our escape artist settled down and got our toddler to smile. She was so patient and made the whole process go as smooth as it could. We love, love, love our photos and we are so grateful that we got the chance to capture the first few hours together and meet Micaela!
The earlier the better!
Some sessions can be thrown into the schedule at last minute but it's best to book 3-6 weeks in advance!
Your date is not officially reserved until the deposit is paid.
This session is all about you and your bump! I am always more than willing to travel for Maternity sessions. I actually love it when people ask to be photographed in a location or space that means something special to them! I book Maternity sessions usually one month in advance and 50 miles of travel is included. Worried about what to wear? Don't! I have a full client closet you're welcome to!
The fresh 48 session is an add on option or complementary pending your package choice. This session is exactly as it sounds, within 48 hours of birth I will come bring you all the snacks and hang out in the hospital or your home pending on your birth situation.
My on-call time begins at 36 weeks gestation. This session comes with a complementary consultation where we will discuss your options and boundaries. This can be as hands on or off as you want. Some prefer a fly on the wall style while others want all of it captured and doesn't care what it takes to get it. Most of the time the actual birth is so quick you get one photo of cutting the cord and the weight on a phone. I'm here to catch the hand squeezing, tears of happiness, first cry kind of moments. I am here so you can have your full attention on memorizing every detail of that little ones face during skin to skin. I am there so you can be present. Hospital and home births welcome!
You've got all the options! The options include a fully posed newborn only session, a journalistic interactive lifestyle that includes the parents and or siblings, or a mix of the two! A fully posed session will give you 4+ posed options and color combos. A mixed session will give you 2-3 posed options and color combos. The lifestyle only session has no baby only posed photos and is more focused on interaction as a family. Postpartum is hard. I want you to be as comfortable as possible so I travel to you! I provide everything- all props and swaddles. You are always welcome to pick out your own outfits for baby's lifestyle session if you don't want to use swaddles. You do not need to clean your entire house for me. I only need is a 5x5 area with good natural light. So a window or sliding doorway would be perfect! If we are doing a mixed session you will want one room cleaned so that there are no distractions in your photos. This can be a living room, bedroom, or nursery, totally up to you.
When you’re ready to book- let me know! I will send you your client portal information. There you will find your contract and invoice! A non-refundable deposit will be due to hold your date. This deposit is based on the package you choose. Scheduling a birth or newborn session is a little different than scheduling a maternity for obvious reasons. We don't know exactly when baby will come so the deposit for those sessions are to guarantee time for you in my schedule. The remainder of your invoice would be due at the time of your session.
