I usually like to keep things about you, but a small introduction to break the ice may be appropriate! I am genuinely SO happy you are here! I'm Makayla and reside in Northwest Arkansas with my husband and sweet, red headed toddler!

I am obsessed with remembering. Not so that I can post on social media - I'm not vying for the attention. I am fighting to remember what’s really valuable. Moments, days - those all combine to create who we are. If we forget where we came from and what made us, can we know who we are?

I want your photos to feel warm and familiar, like stepping back into a moment you loved. My goal is simple: to document your family exactly as you are today, so you can hold onto these fleeting seasons forever.

I work with a documentary approach and add light direction when needed. This gives you a mix of real moments and thoughtfully guided images. Sessions are child-led so parents can relax and kids can be themselves.

My biggest goal during family sessions is to keep things as stress-free as possible. I get it—getting everyone dressed and out the door for photos can feel like a lot. But seriously, take a deep breath. Once you’re with me, I’ll help guide the whole experience to go at your family's pace. We’ve got this!
