Mika is a Mill Valley, CA based photographer who has a passion for capturing the beauty of landscapes, seascapes, and travel through the lens of her camera.

Born in Israel, Mika had a unique childhood having lived on a boat for three years. Her early years sparked a lifelong love affair with travel and adventure. Her early exposure to different cultures and environments fostered her passion for exploration; she uses her lens to share that with the world.

Mika's journey to becoming a photographer was circuitous, with detours that included a stint in corporate work at one of the big 5 consulting firms and a successful career as an independent entrepreneur owning and operating Pilates studios in NYC and the Hamptons. Despite these diverse paths, Mika always had a love for photography and a desire to pursue it professionally. Time at home with her two children gave her the space and perspective to shift her career and to fuel her passion.

With an eye for capturing the essence of each place she visits, Mika has a talent for showcasing the world in all its beauty and diversity. Her work is characterized by the use of natural, ethereal light and a deep appreciation for the world around her.
