I’ve always felt a pull towards the arts, but until I received my XTi a year ago, I didn’t consider myself an artist. No doubt photography has become my passion & it has breathed a new energy & sense of accomplishment into my life. I can finally express, through my images, what I never could through words or any other form of expression. Photography brings me joy & it is such a pleasure to share that joy with others.

ETA: Please do not be offended if I don't add you as a contact right away. Come to my stream & comment on my pics. After I get to know you, then I'll add you in return.

    "Mikaela's stream-of-talent leaves those of us who get the privilege of coming here in awe.

    Take that 'lime' picture for instance, how beautiful can a lime be?
    Well, SHE makes it incredibly tempting.

    The macro lens can only be used by a handful of people well....she is leading that list holding hands with just a select few.

    Her colors are brilliant, her comps and crops sufficient for the subject.

    Yes, she brings the details to US.
    Just in case we're too busy to look ourselves."

    "I've known Mikaela for many years now and I know she puts her whole heart into everything she does. It does not surprise me to see how successful she has become with photography. She continues to push herself to learn and produce images that are better and better. She has a great eye for detail. I would recommend anyone that would like to be inspired to watch more work that comes from her."
