My parents lost all of their wedding photos. It's made me realize how important it is that these precious moments are preserved. Throughout my 5 years of experience, I’ve photographed over a hundred weddings and sessions. Countless clients express how much they love editorial imagery AND the real moments, so I do both.
You deserve a true artist and expert who will ensure you get both.

THE RAW, REAL, FLEETING MOMENTS
Our lives are made up of all the special “little moments”. Happy scrunched noses, warm embraces, and tears of joy all deserved to be cherished. I strive to preserve those candid moments so you can reminisce on the celebration of your love story with your family and friends.

In surrounding yourself with people you love and connect with, especially on your wedding day. Your photographer is someone that’ll be alongside you the whole day, and they should be someone that makes you feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera so you can look back on those real, happy memories.

Your special moments deserve to be preserved in high-end organic colors. My editing style is film-inspired and vibrant, guaranteed to never go out of style. Flattering for all skin tones, my hand edited photos are true to you.

I Believe...
I adore landscapes, cultures, and architecture from all around the world. A few of my favorite travels include living in Thailand as a volunteer English teacher, driving a campervan around the full perimeter of Iceland, and eating my heart out in various cities across Italy. I forever dream of the places I have yet to explore.
Worldwide Travel
I love sleeping in and enjoying a slow start to my day. Sundays almost always consist of avocado toast, yoga, coffee, and church. I get the warm and fuzzies just thinking about being curled up on the couch with my favorite glass of wine, blankets, and shared laughter with loved ones in the evening.
Sundays
In the summer I enjoy hiking, biking, jumping off the dock, and doing anything outside to soak up all the sun. When the temperatures drop in the winter, I love to ski, snowmobile, and explore the frozen landscapes of Wisconsin. (and occasionally fly somewhere warmer!)

My Favorite Things
Throughout the whole process Makayla was kind, informative, and very responsive. On the actual wedding day she was so on top of things as well as totally calm and cool amongst the chaos. We got photos back very quickly after the wedding and Makayla captured our vision perfectly. I would highly recommend!
“Best wedding decision we made”
- Emily Durrant
Makayla is absolutely wonderful. I have worked with her for years, and she is always striving to extend her knowledge and exceed her client's expectations. She goes above and beyond for everyone she works with! While photography is her specialty, she also is a great hype-woman and friend. She is knowledgeable, kind, and willing to try out any ideas you may have! I wouldn't want to work with anyone else and have nothing but great things to say about my experiences with her!
“A great hype-woman and friend”
- Madi Teale
Makayla was excellent to work with during our engagement session! She is so kind and personable, making the process comfortable and easy. I was so happy with how quickly she got our photos to us, and we were in love with how they turned out. The relationships she keeps with vendors are also impressive- she seems to have contacts for almost any photoshoot location or other wedding needs. We cannot wait for her to capture our wedding!

Makayla was so nice and fun to work with and made it so easy to be myself during pictures. She knows how to make sure you are comfortable and getting all of the angles and poses you wanted and has amazing photography skills that show very clearly in her work. She really takes time to make sure you get exactly what you want and gets to know you as a person as well. I had such a fun time and she made me so excited for senior year!
