“In the past, it's been hard for me to relax and feel natural while being photographed. My lip would start twitching or my eyes would start to water and anxiety would begin to surface. When my husband and I needed to invest in professional head shots and website photos for our business we were apprehensive about the process. There are many amazing photographers out there but it takes a person with technical skill, compassionate presence and a sense of playfulness to draw out the innate beauty of their muse. Misha has all of these qualities in spades. Throughout our photo shoot my body began to relax and the process was actually ..gasp.. enjoyable! So much so I knew I wanted her to be my wedding photographer. Weddings are a big deal and the stress of putting it all together can weigh heavy on one's mind. Having Misha on our team was incredibly supportive and her insights ultimately helped us fine tune the details of our ceremony. We hired her for both photography and videography, which I highly recommend. In every photo you can viscerally feel the energy that was present and having our ceremony, heartfelt community blessings and toasts on video has given us a keepsake of memories that bring forth tears of happiness and gratitude every time we watch them. Documenting life through the camera on my phone has been a fun outlet for my creativity; the problem is I'm hardly ever in the pictures. When the time came for my husband and I to recognize that my beloved best dog friend was coming to the end of his life, I wanted to cherish the time we still had left. During our family photo shoot, Misha's gentle, playful, and sensitive engagement allowed me to move through the tears and come to a place where I felt like this was a celebration of life rather than his memorial. As one life was completing, a new life had been growing within me. At 34 weeks, I had my first maternity photo shoot. I knew just where I wanted take Misha and she was up for the adventure! Off to the woods we all went where absolute magic happened amidst the moss, rocks, and waterfalls. I have never felt so beautiful, celebrated, and alive. Thank you, Misha, for being part of our family and celebrating the beauty and many milestones we've experienced over the past year! We look forward to having you visit once the baby arrives and having another session with our little one. Thank you again, for doing the work you love and sharing it with the world.”

“Misha has the amazing ability to capture not just beautiful photographs but also the unseen beauty in moments. We were so lucky to have her capture our unique mountain top elopement. She did such an amazing job making me, a super camera shy groom comfortable. And she got amazing images that’s truly capture the love that the two of us share. I will forever be grateful for the images & videos she was able to capture of us and our dogs, because she truly understand the importance of capturing all of the moments. From helping to keep my bride calm, as we were running late, to reminding us to savor the moment, to giving us a quick escape from families to just be together after our vows, to helping manage big, challenging group photos with lots of personalities- Misha handles it all with professionalism, poise, grace, love, & passion. Every image is reflective of the deep love that she has for her craft. She’ll be shooting our vow renewal for sure!”
