Introduction

I love working with people and suggesting poses, and my mind is always working on how I can plan my next styled shoot. I specialize in portrait photography, with experience doing birthday and quinceañera portraits, prom, graduation, engagement, maternity, and family sessions. I have also been lucky enough to dip my toes into wedding photography! My core purpose is to give my customers a fun, and memorable experience at the actual photoshoot by providing a ton of posing options and creating a variety of photos they can look back on forever. Please keep in mind that many beautiful and beloved locations in CA require a permit, which is a separate cost from my package pricing! (Mostly beaches, but various popular spots.)

Mackenzie was wonderful. She was very prompt and professional in her responses to my questions. She was gracious and was able to accommodate our very last minute family photo session request. The whole experience was stress-free and we all had fun taking the photos; which is not usually the case with a family of 8. She was open to our photo ideas and she provided different props. She sent me our photo gallery in record time and when I opened it and saw the first photo, my heart stopped. 💕 She captured our family in the most beautiful photos. Everyone was smiling! She also was open to having our dog join in the photo shoot. Priceless! Thank you Mackenzie for the most amazing family photos.

It was a pleasure working with Mackenzie. She has a great artistic eye that really comes to life in her work. I was so busy/anxious with all the other details of my wedding, Mackenzie helped put me at ease and I felt like I had no worries when it came to her capturing all of the important details and moments. I received my wedding photos before the deadline and they were perfect! I look forward to working with her again in the future.
