Meet the Photographer
Warm • Creative • Playful • Story-Driven
Hi! I'm Makenna, the photographer behind the lens -- the girls who will hype you up, fix your hair, make you laugh, and capture the moment you didn't even realize were happening.
Photography isn't just something I do..it's something I feel. I'm obsessed with the way sunlight hits at golden hour, how a genuine laugh looks in a photo, and the magic that happens when someone realizes they don't have to "pose" -- they can just be themselves.
How It All Started
My love for photography began long before I ever called it a business. I was the friend who always had a camera in my hand, the one documenting everything — the tiny moments, the silly ones, the meaningful ones. I didn’t realize it then, but I was already learning how to tell stories through images.
Eventually, I took a leap, turned passion into purpose, and discovered just how much joy I get from capturing real people in real moments. What started as a hobby became my favorite way to connect, celebrate, and create.
What I Love to Capture
I’m inspired by the energy people bring to their sessions. Each type of shoot has its own magic, and I love leaning into those moments:
- Graduation Sessions — bold colors, big smiles, and the excitement of stepping into a new chapter.
- Portraits — simple, artistic, and full of personality. From creative concepts to natural beauty, I love making people feel seen.
- Weddings — the perfect mix of storytelling and emotion. I capture the tiny details, the quiet moments, the big celebrations, and everything in between.
- Sorority & Lifestyle Sessions — bright, fun, high-energy shoots that show off friendships, confidence, and personality.
Each session feels like a chance to celebrate someone’s story.
What it's like to Work with Me
My approach is fun, relaxed, and movement-based. I want you to feel like you’re hanging out with a friend who just happens to have a camera.
Expect:
- Lots of natural posing that feels comfortable
- Prompts that help you move and feel less “stiff”
- Music, laughter, and instant hype-up energy
- A photographer who celebrates you just as you are
- Guidance through every pose, angle, and detail
Whether you’re nervous or excited, I’ll walk you through everything — you don’t need experience to look amazing.
Why I Love What I Do
Photography lets me freeze moments that matter.
It lets me capture emotions people didn’t even realize were happening. It lets me document milestones, love stories, friendships, and individuality.
But more than anything, I love the connections I get to make. I love seeing clients light up when they see themselves in a new way. I love capturing memories people will hold onto forever. I love being part of moments that mean something.
Every session is a reminder of why I started — and why I’ll never stop.
Let's Create Something Beautiful Together
If you’re looking for photos that feel natural, fun, and full of personality, I’d love to be the one behind the camera for you. Whether you’re celebrating a milestone, documenting a new chapter, or simply wanting photos that feel like you, I’m here to bring your vision to life.
