About

I get it, I am not the photographer for everyone! But, if you're down for adventures, you like moodier images that focus on emotional connection, have a rad sense of humor, and hate awkward photo sessions where "say cheese" is the most your photographer says, than I'm your girl. I strive for photos that display movement and emotion. Every thing I ask my couples to do, is requiring them to move, feel, and ALWAYS get a little goofy! As you can see, I follow those standards pretty well ;) I am definitely a weirdo as my mom has told me my entire life, but I think that's what makes my clients so comfortable in front of the camera. If I'm embarrassing my self and laughing at it, then whatever they're doing just looks 10 times better! Those moments usually get the best laughing photos too ;)

If I sound like what you're looking for, let's get connected! I am always down for coffee, and if there's a solid amount of distance, than I make it work with a phone call/facetime date! We can totally drink our coffee at home and talk about it over the phone ;)

Amazing photos!

Makenzie is the most down to earth and humble person I have ever met. She took me in not only as a client but as a friend and provided amazing hospitality and professionalism when I came time for the wedding and making sure every detail was right. Makenzie and her husband make and awesome team and my photos are something I will cherish for a lifetime.

Absolutely everything we wanted!

Makenzie is the absolute best (and so is her husband Noah!). Let me start this review by saying that we had booked another photographer who had great reviews and seemed like they would deliver everything that we wanted. We did our engagement session with our first photographer and we just didn't mesh well. Additionally, the photos that she took didn't look like an engagement session but rather a family session in the park. This is a special time in our lives and we really wanted to capture that love on camera and she didn't deliver. being about 6 months out from our wedding and having to switch photographers it was very stressful to say the least. I came on wedding wire and went through pages and pages of photographers and was about to give up and told myself "just one more page" And that's where I found Makenzie. I had a little bit of trust issues and was skeptical due to our latest experience with the last photographer, and Makenzie just put me completely at ease. She's so professional, experienced, and truly I feel that we've gained a great friendship from this entire interaction. The day of our wedding I knew that I had absolutely nothing to worry about after we got our engagement photos back. She had captured us, exactly who we are, and she exceeded all expectations on the wedding day as well. We have now found our lifetime photographer and I'm actually hiring her a couple more times this year for various things! Seriously call her, Skype with her, get to know her! I will recommend her forever. My entire family, wedding party, and guests were coming up to me asking me where I found her and if she was willing to travel for their stuff. She's THAT good.

Best Experience

The wedding process was definitely a daunting one at the beginning. I had no idea where to start. I was referred to Makenzie, and her photos had the style and vibe I was going for. Once I met her, I knew I had to book her. From meeting me for coffee to go over her packages, to our fabulous engagement session, ending in our amazing wedding day, Makenzie was such a blessing through it all. She has the experience, knowledge, and talent to make your wedding day look so amazing in the pictures, but also the personality, heart, and kind spirit to make you feel like the most special bride in the world when it gets to be your big day. She made the whole process so effortless, and I constantly find myself going back through our pictures. Do yourself a favor and book her!
