After being incorrectly diagnosed with Non Hodgkins Lymphoma three days before our first wedding anniversary, I gained a genuine gratitude for the life I have. Suddenly, I started paying more attention to little "in-between" and seemingly unimportant moments of life; in these moments is where I found the most unexpected beauty. I purchased my first camera & the rest is history.
I never set out to become a photographer, but I am a firm believer that the best things in life aren't planned. Those in-between, seemingly mundane, candid moments in life are the moments I strive to capture through my photos.
But i'm not just a photographer. I'm your friend who will piggy back your kiddos through a field at sunset, calm your tiny newborn and rock them to sleep, LAY ON THE GROUND JUST TO LOVE ON YOUR DOG, and tear up with you as you tell family stories.
I am a family, newborn, and senior photographer based in Grant, NE, but I serve all of the surrounding area of Southwest Nebraska. I'm happiest snuggling a fresh baby in the cozy warmth of a studio newborn session, DANCing WITH KIDDOS in a pasture during a golden hour family session, following along to photograph an evening of your family's farm chores, or photographing creative content for your small Business.
I know that life can be hard, but in the midst of chaos, there's raw beauty in the now that we will wish we had back. The memories we share today will eventually be forgotten, but photographs turn emotions and moments into heirlooms for generations to come.
"Now all glory to God, who is able, through his mighty power at work within us, to accomplish infinitely more than we might ask or think"
Ephesians 3:20

Loved our experience with Tripods and Tails! Our newborn session was so easy. She also encourages mommas to take pictures with their newborns. I was hesitate because let’s face it, when you have a newborn, you know you aren’t in the best shape of your life, but Mikki makes you feel beautiful AND she captures that in your photos. Also having her style you and your baby was amazing! It takes that stress off of you and she pulls exactly what she thinks will look best! Enjoy being carefree during your newborn session and just focus on baby snuggles… because they are only this little for such a short time!

100% RECOMMEND TRIPODS AND TAILS PHOTOGRAPHY! ...Something that really stood out to me about my session was that Mikki knew I loved Elton John, so she put together a playlist of songs and played them the whole session. The planning process was so easy and stress free! i love how Mikki is less “okay try this pose” and more “I really want to see your personality shine through in these photos.” I’m usually nervous when it comes to taking pictures but I felt so comfortable, thanks to the woman behind the camera.

Mikki made me feel very comfortable during my senior session. In the beginning I was pretty nervous but she knew how to make me feel more relaxed. You can really tell she cares about every aspect of her job. Before we even started I filled out surveys about who I am as a person. She even took the answer to my favorite music and used it during our session. She played music by my favorite artist. I would definitely recommend Mikki for senior sessions.
