A hopeless romantic who finds great joy in creating and capturing connection and beauty wherever I go.
about ME
HI I'm Makenzie
I have always admired the beauty in Gods creation on the many trips I have ever been on. I always have a camera in had ready to capture every second. My dreams have turned into a reality in 2018 when my hobby of documenting my trips became a photography career. God changed up my direction and I began photographing people part time (along with teaching) and I LOVED IT. I enjoy getting to capture the authenticity in each season of your life. Now I that I have jumped into the entrepreneur world and started my own business and I have never looked back.
Lover of light and travel, total Enneagram 6, and seeker of the soft, glowing colors brought to life on film.
my favorite things:
01
Traveling
Adventures have my heart! I love exploring new places. The food, culture, sights, I want to see it all! With a camera in my hand to document it all.
02
Disney
Yes, I am a Disney Adult. I aspire to go at least once a year if not more. Disney World is my happy place, but I LOVE anything Disney!
03
Florals
I have an agriculture degree and Floral Design has always been my favorite subject. I will always admire florals details in every wedding day!
04
Sweets
I have a big sweet tooth! I love dessert's, Cake-batter or Vanilla Ice Cream is my favorite, but I also love Reese's, cakes, cookies, and cupcake!
05
Taylor Swift
BIG Swiftie here! You can find me listening to Taylor Swift all day long. Reputation, Speak Now (Taylors Version) and Debut are my top 3 favorite albums, but honestly she doesn't have a song I hate, I love them all!
06
Planning
When you plan well you succeed. I plan out everything, even down to the everyday task. I helps me feel prepared and successful!
the heart behind the lense
A picture is worth a thousand words
It may be cliche but it is so true. Every event in life becomes a memory and you want to remember every detail you can, especially on your wedding day. Life happens quickly. Do you want to have images that make you FEEL that moment all over again?
