McKenzie is a PHENOMENAL photographer!! Not only will your pictures be gorgeous, but your session will be so. much. fun. It never feels awkward when she’s shooting because she knows how to prompt you to get the cutest candid photos! It’s all so natural, you definitely don’t have to worry about feeling uncomfortable. She is personable and knowledgeable and makes pure magic every time. My husband and I have had a few shoots done with her and they’re some of my favorite pictures and memories of us ever. I truly couldn’t recommend her more ❤️

"McKenzie is a PHENOMENAL photographer!! "
“I discovered Mckenzie through my friend Brianna. Brianna had her elopement captured by Mckenzie, and I loved the crisp yet natural look of Brianna’s photos. After seeing more of Mckenizes work via instagram, I knew I wanted her to capture my wedding. I also enjoyed her beachy, laid back vibe. Mckenzie is sweet, laid back, yet up front; all which I really appreciated. She captured our wedding day perfectly, and her turn around time was quick. I would highly recommend Mckenzie if you live in the San Diego area and I look forward to having her take more pictures of my husband and I in the future :)”

They’re something I’ll cherish forever. McKenzie is kind and easygoing. She definitely makes it easy to be relaxed in front of the camera. Highly recommend her for any of your photography needs. She won’t let you down!”

“McKenzie is such a joy to work with! She made my fiancé and I feel right at home in front of a camera. She is so encouraging and such an amazing hype girl. Her editing style is warm and romantic, and it is completely unique to her. I looked at so many galleries from many different talented photographers, but when I saw Mckenzie’s work I instantly felt a connection to it. I will be reaching out to McKenzie to help us document all of our big life moments!”

I’m literally just blown away - at a complete loss for words. You have no idea what these mean to me. This season of life is so short and just flashes by so quick. I get caught up in the survival mode of motherhood and sometimes I feel like all I can remember from the day is feeling stressed out and like I wasn’t enough. Looking through these, I’m remembering how I felt SO chaotic that day and yet when I look at these pictures my heart literally bursts. I am grinning from ear to ear with tears welling in my eyes from just happiness and gratitude.
