Born and raised in the islands, Michaela built her career around the ocean and the people who play in it. She has shot for national and local brands across surf, swim, lifestyle, and hospitality — dynamic action, stylized fashion, and the kind of lifestyle moments that make an audience say “I wish I was there.”

With a BFA in Creative Advertising and a background in marketing, she works from the campaign backwards: concept, casting, location, and light are planned as one piece, so the photos land as a finished body of work, not a folder of files. Based on Oʻahu, available globally.
