I’ve spent years documenting the high-energy joy of wedding days, but as my own family grows and time seems to move faster, my heart has pulled me toward the quiet, intentional moments found within the four walls of my studio. I’ve realized that the "sacred" isn't just found in big celebrations—it’s in the everyday stages that slip through our fingers if we aren't careful.

I’m Mikayla—a seeker of honest light, a lover of a full living, and the creative lead at Gold House Studios.

When you walk into my studio, I want you to feel like you can finally put your shoulders down. The space is bright yet neutral, and filled with second-hand treasures that keep our footprint light and our energy "slow."

Whether we’re gabbing about your business goals like a pre-branding therapy session or letting your kids be exactly who they are—wiggles, laughs, and all—this is a place where we don’t rush. I’m fine with the ebbs and flows of a session; I’d rather engage a child until we find their real laugh than force a smile that isn't theirs.

While I love a beautiful color palette, I have a deep passion for the simplicity of black and white imagery. There is something so special about stripping away the noise of the world to showcase the true personality. My goal is to create images that feel timeless—the kind that grow more valuable to you with every passing year.
