CAT LOVER. BOY MOM. GLUTEN FREE ENTHUSIAST.

When I’m not photographing love stories, I’m off exploring the world with my husband and baby. Every time I travel, I can’t help but picture photoshoots in every beautiful spot I see — so I thought why not make it happen? Over the last several years I have really focused on connecting with couples all over the US and I have never been so thankful for the journey.

Some kind words

"RUN, DON’T WALK TO BOOK MAKAYLA! SHE SQUEEZED US IN ON HER WAY OUT OF TOWN, AND I AM SO GLAD SHE DID. SHE TOOK BEACH FAMILY PHOTOS FOR US, AND THE FIRST PROFESSIONAL PHOTOS WITH OUR NEW BABY. WE LOVE EVERY SINGLE PHOTO, I AM NOT SURE HOW WERE GOING TO PICK ONES TO DISPLAY. SHE MADE US FEEL SUPER COMFORTABLE! SERIOUSLY COULD NOT RECOMMEND HER ENOUGH AND WE WILL BE USING HER AGAIN IN THE FUTURE.”

I’ve always been drawn to capturing moments—whether it was silly selfies with friends or those slightly embarrassing music videos we made in middle school. In college, I had the chance to really explore my creative side by minoring in photography, which only deepened my love for the art. Over time, I started taking photos for friends and family, and eventually I was asked to photograph a small backyard wedding. That day changed everything for me. I fell in love with being part of something so meaningful—hours of planning coming together, tears of every kind (happy ones, mostly!), and the magic of witnessing one of the best days of someone’s life.Blending my love for photography and travel has been such a blessing over the past few years. There’s something so special about discovering new places while documenting the love and joy of new friends. Whether it’s a quiet moment or a big celebration, I’m here to capture it all with heart. So let’s chat and make some magic.

xoxo, Mak
