I can tell that we are gonna be friends.

I’m so glad you’re here—it’s like you just walked into the coziest coffee shop, and I’ve been waiting for you with a warm cup and a big smile. Deciding to reach out is such a big step, and I’m honored you’re considering me to help tell your story.

If you’re looking to book a family session, an intimate wedding, or just want to chat about making some magic together, you’re absolutely in the right place. For all the juicy details about sessions and what’s possible, head to my Services page. If you’ve got a quick question or just want to say hey, this contact page is perfect for that, too.

I can’t wait to hear more about you, your vision, and all the goodness we can create together. Let’s do this!

Warmly,
Michaela

Here is what to expect next:

Once you send your message, I’ll get back to you within about 48 hours (because life with a camera and kiddos is a little wild sometimes). If you’re ready to dive in or want to chat more about your vision, I’ll send over a link to book a call so we can connect face-to-face (or screen-to-screen!).

Your message has been sent. We'll contact you shortly

THANK YOU!

I'm Michaela mader Tully

The Michaela you'll find making beautiful images of your family. 

I’m a storytelling photographer based in the Black Hills of South Dakota, specializing in family connections, intimate weddings, and elopements.

My style? Think warm evening light, authentic moments, and a dash of Mary Oliver poetry—because life’s best stories are a little wild, a little soft, and always real.

When I’m not behind the camera, I’m probably chasing my kids, hiking trails that smell of Ponderosa pine, or sipping coffee that’s gone lukewarm because, well, #momlife.
