Michaela is an incredible photographer!

 We worked with her for a family photo session while on vacation in the Black Hills. I didn't know the area ahead of time, and she made perfect suggestions on where to go to get great shots. I have two little kids and she was amazing with them - even let my son play photographer for a bit. She made the process fun and the photos are even better! Cannot recommend her enough.

Hey, hi, Hello!

I'm Michaela Mader Tully, a lifestyle family photographer based in the Black Hills and Badlands of South Dakota.

Things that make me swoon: when the air is crisp, so you cuddle your babies closer, toddler giggles, the way the Badlands smell in June, the feeling of Sylvan Lake granite on a hot August, the crackle of a campfire and the sticky-sweet smell of roasted marshmallows, the weight of a sleepy child melting into your arms, that perfect moment when laughter turns into happy tears, that first sip of coffee when the house is still quiet.
