SAMANTHA MICHALAK // MICHIGAN BASED MATERNITY & PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER
GET TO KNOW ME BETTER
photographing your most monumental moments
With formal training under renowned celebrity photographer Lola Melani, I’ve honed my skills to specialize in creating emotive, fine art portraits that honor the strength, grace, and beauty of a woman’s motherhood journey. My work has been featured in HOUR Detroit, Metro Detroit Weddings Magazine, and Nearly Wed Magazine, and I’m honored to have been voted one of HOUR Detroit’s Best Of portrait photographers.
My creative style is refined and elegant.
If you're looking for quality - not just quantity, you've come to the right place.
Through meticulous lighting, composition, and styling, I transform fleeting moments into pieces of art that feel both powerful and personal. Every portrait is designed with purpose, becoming more than just a photo—it becomes a legacy.
What I love most about fine art portrait photography is the intention behind every detail. Unlike lifestyle photography, which captures candid, everyday moments, fine art portraits are thoughtfully crafted to evoke emotion and tell a deeper story. It’s not just about documenting what you see—it’s about creating timeless artwork that reflects the essence of who you are.
