Hi There! My name is Mikaela Stern and I'm the owner of Xaris Photography! I am a mom of two and a wife to an amazing man. I am a Colorado Springs native and just adore this city and all of the pockets of beautiful places it holds. 

I am so thankful to be able to take photos of amazing families every year, and it has been such a joy to watch my client's families grow. It's truly my honor to capture these moments in time for you to cherish for a lifetime. 

I love making photos comfortable and fun for everyone in a session (looking at you dads!). I love fun and games and silly faces during sessions, and love to let little kiddos play.
