Michaela made Photo Co.

Lifestyle photographer based in Rapid City, SD

"I would highly recommend working with Michaela if you are looking for a photographer in the Black Hills."

Michaela is great to work with and we love all our photos! She is relaxed and professional, and put us at ease when taking our photos - even with a newborn that refused to nap! She helped us find a unique location in the Black Hills for our maternity photos that we had never been to before and it was perfect. I would highly recommend working with Michaela if you are looking for a photographer in the Black Hills.

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.
