Wedding, family, and maternity photography rooted in warmth, authenticity, and the beauty of real moments.
I specialize in capturing the beautiful moments of couples and their weddings. After becoming a mother in 2025, I fell in love with maternity and newborn sessions too.
I photograph the crazy hair in the wind, the muddied dress, the tear-streaked makeup from happy tears. Because those are the small details that remind you how the day really went.
Full-day coverage, engagement sessions, and elopements. I capture the good, the messy, and the beautiful.

One hour, multiple outfits, and at least 60 edited images. Sessions that feel relaxed, not rushed.

As a new mother myself, I understand the depth of this season. Let's document it beautifully.
See the workI want us both to walk away from our shoot feeling like we savored the moment, not stressed about it. Here's how easy it is to begin.
Send me a message through the contact form or email. Tell me a little about your session, what you're envisioning and when you're thinking.
We'll connect to make sure we're a great fit. I want to get to know you before we ever pick up a camera together.
Once we've agreed on the details, I'll send over a simple contract and invoice to officially hold your date.
On the day of your session, just be yourselves. I'll handle the rest, and I'll clean up the tear-streaked makeup in editing.
Mackenzie has been doing our family photos for over 5 years and still exceeds our expectations. She’s extremely talented in what she does and somehow always manages to get the best shots even with the craziness that a baby and two toddlers bring. BOOK HER. I’d recommend her over and over and over again.
I truly can’t say enough amazing things about her! She has photographed so many special seasons of my life — from my maternity photos, to newborn photos, to our mommy & me session — and I have absolutely loved every experience with her. 🤍 She makes you feel so comfortable in front of the camera and has such a gift for capturing the sweetest, most natural moments. Every gallery has turned out even better than I imagined, and these are photos I know I’ll cherish forever. I’m so grateful to have had her capture such important milestones for our family and couldn’t recommend her enough. We will absolutely continue using her for years to come!
Mackenzie is an amazing photographer!!! We do all our family pictures with her and she always knows how to get the perfect shots of our kids. Always in love with the work she does. Highly recommend her for any event!
Working with Mackenzie for our 7/12/26 wedding was an amazing experience! She made sure we were on the same page on all preferences (locations, poses, photo styles) BEFORE our big day, which made me feel so much more comfortable. She was flexible, professional and very kind. The photos turned out incredible and we got the full edited gallery sooner than expected. We highly recommend Mackenzie!
Mackenzie was amazing with our fall family photos. She found the most beautiful setting and just walked us through the most beautiful scenery, comfortably and naturally. She captured such precious moments we will forever treasure!!! Our 18 month old was not wanting to cooperate and she was extremely accommodating by placing her phone on top of her camera playing Bluey, which got our child to look at the camera😆👍🏼 10/10 stars from us. Thank you again🥰
