Beautiful food photography, wholesome recipe development, and lifestyle content — crafted with intention from Hout Bay, Cape Town.
Wholesome Living
I'm Michaela — a food photographer, recipe developer, and health enthusiast based in the heart of Hout Bay, Cape Town. Health Alignment is where my passion for wholesome living meets the art of visual storytelling.
As a busy mom who believes nourishment should never be an afterthought, I create content that celebrates real food — vibrant, approachable, and made with intention. From smoothie recipes that fuel a hectic morning to styled product shoots that make brands shine, every project begins with purpose.
I've had the privilege of collaborating with wellness brands and food producers who share my belief that healthy eating can be both beautiful and accessible. Whether it's a chocolate nourish smoothie captured in golden hour light or a full recipe series for your brand, I bring warmth, authenticity, and an eye for the details that make food irresistible.
