Makayla
Ashlynn
Most people call me Mak, so you can too!
I'm a gal who loves making coffee (or getting coffee), cozy nights in, and screaming Taylor Swift in the car. I'm a mama to a sweet little girl and a wife to the most amazing husband!! They are my world and my most favorite titles.
I've had a camera in my hand for as long as I can remember, always capturing little moments. I love getting to know people so that I can creatively and uniquely tell their story!

How I Got Here:
At the core of everything I do is a deep love for storytelling. Whether it’s a wedding day, a quiet moment at home, or the sweet chaos of motherhood. I’m drawn to the honest, in-between moments that make life feel full!
I believe photography is so much more than capturing what something looked like, it’s about preserving how it felt. I lead with warmth and calm guidance, helping you feel comfortable so the real, meaningful moments can unfold naturally. I will never leave you on your own to pose yourself!
making sure you actually live in the moment
My main goal:
" Makayla was phenomenal in all aspects. She was timely, personable, responsive, and is extremely talented. Having her on my big day was a huge relief and took one more thing off my plate because she gave out directions to us and the whole wedding party and ran the show!! I followed her lead on all the posing and suggestions and my photos turned out beautiful and captured everything I was looking for.
I highly recommend her if you're looking for a wedding photographer! 5 stars ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

" Makayla was an absolute DREAM to work with and hands down one of the best decisions we made for our wedding. From the very beginning, she brought the best energy fun, upbeat, and genuinely excited to be there with us. She made everything feel so natural and stress free, and was always down for any ideas we had. She kept the day flowing smoothly, made us laugh, and captured moments we didn’t even realize were happening. Her passion truly shows in her work, and we felt so comfortable in front of the camera because of her. If you want a photographer who feels like a friend, hypes you up, and delivers stunning photos, Makayla is your person! "

" We loved working with Makayla!!!! She was such a balancing presence on our wedding day, seamlessly working behind the scenes, coordinating with vendors, and communicating as needed. I always received my preplanning and timeline communication early and she was very proactive on asking what our expectations were. Dealing with multiple vendors, I will say she was by far the easiest and most helpful to have on my big day! At times she helped cue my other vendors.. like I said, she was a great!! My mother said for weeks after our wedding, “I just loved your photographer”…moms always know!!
She gave us some previews immediately after, and we received our full album early. I loved every single photo and appreciated her incorporating our “style” to our album. She captured every shot that we asked for. I highly recommend using Makayla for your photography needs, you won’t be upset! "
