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 did a wonderful job on our son’s graduation photos. She had great ideas for poses and locations. She got the photos back to us quickly. We are very happy with the results and highly recommend her.

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.

Mackenzie did an amazing job on our Engagement shoot which showed up in our inbox SO FAST! We cannot stop scrolling through the photos and love to share them with our family and friends! She was timely, professional, and encouraged us to scroll through Pinterest to find some inspiration for poses. She is so talented and fun to work with. We are looking forward to the next photoshoot, very soon!
