About

Born in South Dakota, Raised in good ol' Minnesota I have learned to love Jesus, margaritas, & smiles. I am a free spirit, a bit of a hippie soul some may say. I obsess over the golden hour, traveling across the world ... or the country, & finding true beauty in each and everything around me.

My style is raw, fun, & affectionate. I get my inspiration from watching my fellow humans interact & become intertwined. I love my DIY brides, passionate hearts, & brave souls. Natural light is my weak spot ( along with my four beautifully crazy children). When asked what my one favorite part of my job is I often just stare into space... there is not ONE favorite part, the WHOLE thing is my passion, which makes it ALL my favorite.

Makayla Rae Photography is amazing! She is so fun and easy going and makes standing in front of a camera so much easier. She makes you forget you are posing for pictures and makes it all about you. Her photos are wonderful quality and you get so many to choose from. My husband and I go to her for everything from engagement and wedding photos to family pictures to maternity pictures and she has rocked them all! Thank you so much Makayla Rae for everything you have done and continue to do!!

I cannot say enough great things about my experience with Makayla! From the minute Makayla got out of the car at our engagement session, I knew we made the best choice. She totally knew how to make us feel comfortable and joked with us throughout the entire session. Then on our wedding day, Makayla was an absolute dream come true! She knew what I was thinking even before I said it and took SO much stress out of the day for me. She helped to organize what seemed like 300 family members for pictures, all the while checking in with me and honestly felt like another friend along with me that day. I couldn't imagine having anyone else as my photographer and am absolutely obsessed with our images. Makayla truly has a heart of gold and is one of the very best. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Makayla was highly recommended to me by a close friend when I was in search of a wedding photographer a year ago, and boy did she hold up to her praises! From the first encounter she was great to deal with. Makayla was extremely flexible, easy to work with, made picture taking fast and fun for my less than photogenic husband, had fun with our wedding party while taking photos, and was always more than willing to work with our crazy ideas of pictures we wanted. We could not have been more pleased with the end results of the beautiful outdoor wedding she helped us capture, this truly is her niche. Now, a year later, we continued to utilize Makayla's services as we welcomed a baby girl into our family. If you are in search for an amazing outdoor photographer to help capture you're perfect day and make it as stress free as possible, Makayla is your girl.
