Hello! My name is Mikaela Lee. Pronounced "Mi-kale-a," everyone calls me Kael! I am self-taught photographer in the beautiful Hudson Valley, NY. 9 years ago, I turned my passion into reality. Throughout my journey as a photographer, I have been able to meet so many new people and develop relationships further than just taking photos. I specialize in family photography, and I pride myself in meticulously editing where I bring images to life. When the final images are delivered, my goal is to make you feel the emotion and life that my pictures have to offer.
I am an elementary school special education teacher, and currently in grad school! Balancing school and photography has allowed me to live out my passions while learning hard work + dedication along the way. I am so grateful to be doing two things I love every single day: working with children and taking photos!
There is nothing better than looking through the lens of my camera, knowing I am providing families with moments to cherish and have forever!
Thank you to everyone who gave my 15 year old self a chance, I wouldn't be where I am today without the support and trust of my clients!
I would have never known all of the amazing things this journey has brought me if I didn’t give it a try at 15 years old. My clients, the opportunities, and personal growth have been some of my favorite parts of being a photographer. It’s not always easy, but I couldn’t ask for it to be better. To say I’m thankful that I get to call this my job would be an understatement and I can’t wait to continue building MLP alongside of my teaching career.
When you book a photo session with me, I will always provide you with an effortless experience. I will use different poses to capture the most authentic moments of your family or children.
My goal is to make you feel the emotion and life that my pictures have to offer. I truly believe that pictures are so important and I'm here to document all of the milestones!
