Wedding Couple (April 19, 2025)

 

We used Makayla as our wedding photographer in April of this year. Makayla was an absolute joy to work with. I found her on the Knot and from our very first interaction she was warm and professional. We had an initial phone consultation to go over my vision and she was so great to talk to and helped me figure out what I wanted. Leading up to the wedding, Makayla was so great at texting me and having phone calls to make sure we had all the details down. She always offered help and made the whole experience so easy. On the wedding day she arrived early and ready to go. I am so glad we chose her! She had such a good understanding of what kind of pictures I wanted and made sure to get every shot. I would recommend Makayla to anyone looking for a professional, friendly, and incredibly talented photographer. Thank you again Makayla!!

Wedding Couple (April 11, 2025)

 

My husband and I hired Makayla for our wedding photos! She was so wonderful to work with! She was so attentive to the day of plans and made the day go so smoothly! We also were able to connect over the phone prior to our wedding a couple times just to go over details/styles of photos we were looking for! We both appreciated her attention to detail and her dedication to get the shots that we had expressed we would like to have.

The results…BEYOND WHAT WE COULD HAVE HOPED FOR!! I’m obsessed with them!!!


Additionally, as people who are not used to being in front of cameras, she made both my husband and I (+ bridal party) feel so comfortable.

Overall, I will be recommending Makayla to anyone who is looking for a photographer!

Family Session (February 14, 2025)

 

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Makayla for our family photos, and I can’t recommend her enough.


Makayla has a natural talent for capturing genuine moments and bringing out everyone’s best selves. The photos she delivered were stunning—beautifully composed, full of warmth, and truly captured the essence of our family.


She was also incredibly professional and reliable. She communicated clearly, showed up right on time, and delivered our photos exactly when she said she would (which we really appreciated!).


If you’re looking for a photographer who’s not only talented but also kind, professional, and easy to work with, Makayla is it. We’re so grateful for the memories she captured and will cherish these photos for years to come.

We hired Makayla to take our family photos and it was the best experience! She went above and beyond to make it fun for us and made sure we did whatever poses or specific shots we wanted. The photos turned out incredible, I was seriously blown away. I fell in love with every picture. Makayla has been great to work with and quick to respond with great customer service. I would highly recommend her for any photography needs.

Makayla has a great eye for detail. She was thoughtful and considerate throughout the whole process. I would recommend her to other engaged couples in need of a wedding photographer. My husband said if there was a way to give six star review he would give it to her.

Wedding Client (April 6, 2024)

 

Makayla is a fantastic photographer. She’s fun to be around, energetic, adjusts to the crowd, and was always checking in on my husband and I. She made our groomsmen (who hate photos) smile, laugh, and have a good time. I can’t recommend someone more!💕

Maternity/ anniversary Session (July 8, 2024)

 

Makayla did our maternity photos and did a phenomenal job. We leaned on her heavily for poses/prompts and she made us feel super comfortable and confident. We laughed through much of the photo shoot, and the photos turned out beautifully and look great on the walls in our home! Highly recommend her.

I have gotten photos done from Makayla twice now because she’s just that good. Taking photos can be a little uncomfortable as I don’t know how to pose, and she truly does all the work. She knows exactly how to make you look good and makes it so fun! I could not recommend her enough. Truly a professional and knows exactly what she is doing. Always love the photos!!

Engagement & Wedding (2024)

 

Makayla did our engagement shoot and photographed our wedding and we couldn’t be happier!  She is very professional but super bubbly and easy to work with.  She is very helpful with posing especially if you’re more on the shy side.  Her style ranges from traditional, to editorial, then to a whimsical artsy style.  We loved working with her and more importantly loved her work.  A true artist!
