"Makelle is absolutely amazing to work with. Her prices are very fair for the quality of pictures she takes. We ONLY go to Makelle for anything. She did my sons newborn pictures and all of his milestone months. She was so gentle & new exactly how to work with a newborn/baby safely. She also did both my family & in-laws family pictures which turned out absolutely amazing. We just had some all black photos done of my SO & son & turned out breathe taking. She also did our holiday pictures that were so clever & cute. She is so quick to reply to any message I sent her. She listened to exactly what I wanted and when I wasn’t sure what I wanted she still knew what I wanted. I would rate Makelle 10 stars if I could. we love her work & will always come back to her!"

"Makelle is not only extremely kind, she is SO talented. At 36 weeks pregnant I decided to do some maternity pictures with my crazy three year old. She was so patient with him. She is so flexible with location since we weren’t sure if it was going to rain. Her turn-around was amazing too. I will be working with her again in the future because, WOW! 10/10 will recommend to all my family and friends."
-Kyrstiana

"We were so lucky to be able to work with Makelle! She made us feel so comfortable and it was so fun. Seriously, no kids were crying and if you’re a parent and taking family pictures that is like a Christmas miracle. Can’t wait to book more sessions with her. If you are looking for a great photographer book with Makelle! So glad we met you!"

"Makelle was hands down the best. She took her time with my sweet newborn and was so patient and kind. The amount of love she showed me and Atlas was amazing. She took the time to edit all the photos and they all turned out amazing. She went above and beyond to make sure I was happy and even bought a couple extra layouts because she just couldn’t resist. You will not be disappointed taking your baby to her! Plus her prices cannot be beat!" -Jenny

"Makelle is FANTASTIC! She took newborn photos of my son a week ago and I was completely amazed by her skill! My little boy was fairly unsettled and fussy throughout his session but that didn’t phase Makelle at all. She was so patient and very gentle while wrapping and posing my little man for pictures. It was fascinating to watch her work! I have a new-found appreciation for the skill it takes to be a successful newborn photographer, which Makelle definitely is! She is also insanely talented with Photoshop! So if you have photography needs, call Makelle. Book a session. You won’t regret it!" -Tenille

"Makelle put so much time and effort into getting every detail right for our shoots. She took the time to figure out with me what looks I was going for, and delivered it perfectly. She has taken our maternity, newborn, and family portraits and also did a lifestyle shoot with pictures and video. I will cherish our photos and video forever. This is such a special time in our lives and she captured us so beautifully. Her edits are stunning and her turnaround time is very quick. You can tell she’s passionate about what she does. I am so glad we chose her."
