"We could not have asked for a better photographer."

Michaela is so easy and wonderful to work with! We are in love with our photos. We could not have asked for a better photographer for our wedding day.

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.

Loving what you see?

Let's create something dreamy for you.
