family & newborn
its me,
the tiny 5'0ft girl behind the camera, Makayla! I want to start off by saying I'm beyond happy you have shown interest in my work, and I hope we are the perfect fit for one another.
I am a lifestyle and wedding photographer in Chattanooga, TN + beyond, but above all I am a Christian that can't get over her Saviors love and forgiveness. I try my best to give Him the glory in everything and use this lil' business of mine as a ministry to meet people I otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity to meet!
I really love just about any kids movie, mango slushes from Sonic, board games, Mexican food, plants (even though I'm no bueno at keeping them alive), comfy clothes, big sweaters, and obviously Jesus. I hope to be a wife and mama someday to a super happy, Jesus lovin' family.
frequently asked questions
"We are so awkward."
I don't shoot with very many people that are comfy in front of the camera, so it is my job to make it fun and natural. I've always got fun music playing, and you won't be a statue with no emotion. It's my job to make you laugh and have fun, and that's my goal! I've got you.
my approach
I take the opportunity to document you seriously. When I say "document", I mean I am there to capture all of the fun moments, but also all of those posed portraits that make you feel beautiful.
I don't want you to just "ok stand there one hand on hip look at me big smile CHEEEESEEE." No. I am all about those genuine movements, laughs, and spontaneous dances.
I bring the speaker with all the fun music, you just bring you.
