quick facts:




Professional veil fluffer, honorary bridesmaid, your biggest hype woman, and new best friend. Those are just a few of the titles I have earned over the past few years as a wedding and portrait photographer. I love couples who are madly in love and want to be right there capturing all of those candid moments and real, raw emotions on one of the most important days of your life.

a brief look at makaela

- Kailee G.

We had tons of people to choose from and I'm SO HAPPY we went with her. She's so kind, funny, and one of the best people I've met. As being an awkward person myself, she made us feel so comfortable!! She's done our announcement/couples photos and our maternity photos, so far! We will definitely use her for every photo session as long as we're in Georgia!! We recommend her a million times!!

When moving to Georgia, I was so afraid to find a new photographer..

Makaela is very organized, professional, and friendly. When I got engaged in 2021 I knew Makaela was the person I wanted, I literally booked my wedding day around her open schedule! I could not have been more pleased with our engagement and wedding pictures. She goes above and beyond for her clients. Thank you, Makaela, for capturing my favorite moments in life that I will be able to cherish forever!

If you are looking for a wedding photographer, look no further!

Makaela has photographed some of the most cherished moments in our lives- becoming a blended family, our kids growing, and us adding a new addition to our family. Not only did she photograph these phases of our lives, but she captured them in such a way that showcases each individual personality; she captured the love we share perfectly.
Every session has been comfortable, fun, and full of laughter. You truly cannot find a more genuine, kind, and talented photographer for ANY special moment in your life. I would recommend Makaela 1,000 times if it were possible. We can never fully thank her enough for our special memories!

I'm here to tell you if you're thinking about hiring Makaela for your wedding, DO IT!

She is such a breath of fresh air on one of the most important yet hectic days of your life. It stormed the day of my wedding but Makaela reassured me the whole time that she would get the pictures I wanted rain or shine & that she did. Not only is her work amazing, so is she. Book her, you won’t regret it!

Makaela did our wedding photos in October of 2021. With my husband and I really not big on photos I knew it needed to be someone that would make us comfortable, still I was a little worried... 

I looked at 3 different photographers, Makaela being the first one I reached out to. I had known Makaela her whole life so my thought was, it’s someone I know it can either make this easier or harder. I ended up booking with Makaela and here come July, our engagement session that I was just ready to get over with because being in front the camera isn’t for me. When we got there all my worries went away, we laughed, she made us feel comfortable. Our wedding day came and it was easier than I could if imagined! She done a phenomenal job of not only capturing mine and my husbands love for each other but also the love everyone else around us had for us. She even let me add a tiny change with my brother decided he wanted to give my husband a fake first look. She had a timeline that helped keep us all in line and on the right track so we was done and I was tucked away so no one could see me before the ceremony started. Hands down would choose Makaela over and over just because of her making us so comfortable. She will be my family’s photographer for years to come!

I cannot recommend Makaela enough! She captured our season of life flawlessly...

We never had to worry about trying to pose our awkward selves, she took such great care of us and told us exactly what to do! You can tell she puts her everything into her work, all the hours editing intricate details, and the relationships she builds with her clients in unmatched. Can’t wait to bring you along to capture all of our adventures in this life! Don’t hesitate to book!
