WELCOME TO mia elaine photography

BASED IN metro detroit Michigan, FOLLOWING YOU WHERE YOUR LOVE STORY TAKES YOU

Welcome to Mia Elaine Photography! I’m a Metro Detroit Michigan photographer who loves capturing life’s most genuine, light-filled moments :)

Photography, to me, is all about storytelling and preserving the real, unscripted pieces of your life. Whether you’re celebrating a wedding, an engagement, a senior milestone, a growing family, or simply the beauty in everyday moments, my goal is to create photos that feel honest, joyful, and true to you.

Think of me as a calm and encouraging guide behind the camera — here to laugh with you, help you feel comfortable, and let you be yourself. No stiff poses or forced smiles, just authentic connection and the moments that matter most.

I’d love to help you create memories you can look back on and feel all over again. Explore some of my favorite stories, or head to the inquiry page to start planning your session.

I can’t wait to meet you!

hey there! I'm MIA,
It's Nice to Meet You

I was born and raised in Michigan, and my love for photography started when I was just 8 years old, after my mom gave me a bright pink digital camera. Ever since then, capturing moments has been my favorite way to tell a story.

A little about me: I met my husband, Dylan, when we were teenagers—15 and 16—and we’ve been high school sweethearts ever since. We got married at the White Horse Inn in Metamora, MI, when we were 20 and 21, and now we’re a little family of three with our sweet daughter, Evangeline. We live on a cozy little hill in Metro Detroit, dreaming of the day we can fill it with chickens!

For me, life is all about cherishing the little moments, finding joy in everyday adventures, and capturing memories that last a lifetime.
