About

We are a husband and wife team… Mack & Chelsea. We’ve been growing our business since 2008, and continue to feel unbelievably blessed to be able to pursue our dream career in a world where not everyone gets that chance.

While neither of us has formal training in photography, our former careers as a graphic designer and a journalist gave us unique building blocks to create our own artistic style. We have a blast with our clients, but also take our business incredibly seriously, and are dedicated to top-of-the-line customer service and continued education.

McGowan Images is built entirely on word-of-mouth, and the vast majority of our clients hire us because a friend told them to check us out. We do not take those recommendations lightly, and we are overwhelmed with gratitude for the families who’ve invested in and encouraged us over the last several years.

We have two children… an adventurous boy named Jack, and a fiesty little diva named Dorothy. You’ll see them appear on the blog from time to time.

Mack loves building projects, steampunk design, and cooking good food.

Chelsea loves travel, nerdy conversations about pop culture, and eating whatever Mack is cooking.

Together, we strive to be entirely authentic both in our “real lives” and here in our little online home. We cherish the relationships photography has brought into our lives, and we consider ourselves better people for having been able to meet so many amazing couples.

We’re also completely open books… so if you’ve got a question about our business or our lives, feel free to shoot us an email. We’d love to hear from you!

Engagement Shoot

We first met Chelsea and Mack when they were tabling at a wedding venue we toured at. Instantly, I knew they had great vibes and are very open minded and genuine people. Looking through their portfolio, I fell in love with how they are able to envision the entirety of the photo; the light, the poses, the background, everything. They were so amazing to work with! My fiancé generally dislikes being in front of the camera but they made us very comfortable. We had great conversation and laughed a lot. They walked us through posing and really captured our love on camera. We are so grateful!

Chelsea and Mack were great on my wedding day.
They were looking out for what I, the bride, wanted all night. Even when some issues arose with certain family members, they were there to regroup us and help get us back on track and make it the night that we wanted.
Our pictures (engagement and wedding) were just gorgeous. They are worth every cent that we spent for them and I am SO glad that we did!

Wonderful experience with Chelsea and Mack!

Chelsea and Mack (McGowan Images) brought their A game every time. We had the pleasure of doing a family session combined with our engagement session, which was a real treat. They even drove over 2 hours to the session and then again to our wedding. They captured some incredible pictures and were very creative. I love their sense of adventure and style. Most importantly, they are both incredible individuals with distinct personalities that work so well together. Having them there to help celebrate and capture our amazing day is something we cherish. THANK YOU!
