Photography has been part of my life for as long as I can remember, and I feel grateful every day to turn that passion into my career. As a single mom to three amazing boys—including a set of identical twins—I understand how quickly time passes and how meaningful it is to preserve life’s fleeting, beautiful moments.
The Okanagan is both my home and my inspiration. Whether I’m hiking, camping, or fishing in the summer—or breaking trail on snowshoes and skis in the winter—I draw from the landscape around me. This love for the outdoors has shaped my photography style: soft and romantic, warm and airy, yet always grounded in natural color.
My approach is centered on capturing genuine, candid connection. Whether I’m documenting a wedding, a family session, or an equine portrait, I create an easygoing and stress-free experience so you can feel fully present in the moment.
I specialize in maternity, lifestyle newborn, and family photography, with a special passion for celebrating the bond between parents and children. I also offer equine photography—a love that began when I was just eight years old and continues to inspire my work today.
I would be honored to help tell your story through timeless, heartfelt images. Let’s connect.
my artistry is Refined, heartfelt & rooted in the Okanagan

Mikhaela photographed our wedding this summer and we couldn’t possibly be happier with how it all went. The photos are AMAZING. From the beginning the process was so easy, Mikhaela communicated with to us find our style and personality and to determine what our vision was. She was so organized and captured every angle, every pose and every moment from getting ready down to the reception. We were so comfortable and their directing was so kind, relaxed and efficient. The edits are perfect, so airy and light just what we hoped for. Once again thank you sooo much we loveeee our photos and you guys!

Mikhaela is such an amazing photographer. The communication was awesome and they organized everything so well which made the photos feel so easy. We had her for an engagement session and our wedding day. They make you feel so comfortable which allows for more candid photos and they capture the memories so well. We are soooooo happy about our experience with Parsons Photography. My husband and I are looking forward to looking back on the photos for the rest of our lives.

Mikhaela is truly the best of the best. My partner and I were lucky enough to have her capture our wedding a few weekends ago, and she did so beautifully. She was patient with the wedding party, really made us all feel comfortable / confident and was just so kind every step of the way! She uses the natural Okanagan landscape to take the most magical pictures we will treasure forever.

FANTASTIC!!!
The photographer team was so kind and was so diligent getting all the photos we wanted. They were helpful understanding of the hot weather we were under when doing photos. We got a sneak peek, which was so lovely to have photos very quickly after our wedding date. We love our photos so much and it takes us back to the best day!
Thank you Parsons Photography!!!

"Our breaths were taken away by our son's photoshoot. She captured moments that will be forever suspended in time. I can't wait to have her do our fall photoshoot."
