the girl behind the camera
Hello! My name is Micayla. I am 24 years old, a graduate theology student, and a freelance photographer. When I was in high school, I started taking photos of nature just for fun, but what began as a mere hobby transformed into my favorite thing ever.
My Catholic faith is the most important part of my life and it is my greatest joy to have the opportunity of bringing that into my work of capturing God’s creation. When I am not taking photos of people, I love capturing landscapes, sunsets, cathedrals, and more.
During the rare occasion that I do not have a camera in my hand, I love taking walks on the beach, running, weightlifting, dancing in the rain, and embracing every moment.
Life is a gift, and the Giver is good.
