Meet the Photographer

Hi there, my name is Michaela!

Growing up in Carroll County around animals, I developed a deep appreciation for the unspoken connection between humans and animals - that same connection inspires my work today. Whether I'm photographing a quiet bridal moment, a galloping horse, or a joyful celebration, I strive to document your story in a way that feels natural, timeless and true to you.


Unbridled Moments is built on the belief that the most powerful images come from real experiences. My style is rooted in authenticity - warm tones, soft light and a gentle unobtrusive approach that lets your moments unfold organically.


I'd be honored to help tell your story - one Unbridled Moment at a time.

I can’t stress enough the ease of working with Michaela!!!! Not only did she do an incredible job with make up, hair, AND photography, she was ready to help step in with any planning needs I may have had for my elopement. Going above and beyond speaks volumes to how dedicated and attentive someone can be for their clients. Is clients even the best word?! Friend? Family? Any word you want to use, she made me feel comfortable and relaxed for the whole process. I almost want to think of a new photoshoot just to have some incredible photos to add to my home. THANK YOU!!!!!!!

Highly recommend Michaela and her work! She blew it out of the water with how pictures of me and my horses turned out! She was amazing to work with and really up for anything! She was able to bring my pictures to life and captured the connections I have with each of my horses. If you're looking to get pictures done pleaseeeee schedule with her!
