About the Artist
My approach
I focus on creating a timeless look so your photos won’t feel dated as trends change over time, but that doesn’t mean we can’t get creative and have fun with it. Your gallery will still include things like emotive motion blur, detail shots, modern portraits, and any trends that inspire me in the moment.
"We are absolutely blown away!! You captured the day perfectly and brought back all the joy of it. Thank you so much for your incredible work and for giving us memories we'll treasure forever."
— Alex, 2025 Bride
I’m Makenna. Photographer. Traveler. Forever with a camera in one hand and my passport in the other. I’m always chasing those quiet
in-between moments that feel unforgettable… and my next iced latte.
Coming from an editorial and entertainment background, I naturally lean toward timeless frames with a cinematic feel. More than anything, I’m drawn to emotion and candid moments.
For me, photography isn’t about perfect poses. It’s about the real moments, like the champagne toast that spills a little, the wind catching your dress just right, and the kind of laughter where you forget the camera is there. The stylish, the sentimental, the slightly imperfect: that’s where the magic lives.
Your images will feel just as meaningful years from now. Whether it’s 5 weeks or 50 years later, you’ll be able to look back and feel it all over again. I can't wait to capture your story ✨
with love, Makenna

I keep things relaxed and supportive. I’m always in your corner. And yes, I’ll probably say “one more shot” a few times, just to make sure we’ve captured it at its best.
My vibe is easygoing and intentional, creating a space where you can just be yourselves. The result is imagery that feels natural, unforced, and full of real emotion.
I consider myself detail-oriented, and I draw inspiration from editorial imagery, film, color, composition, travel, and even the "boring" everyday moments most people overlook.
