She's creative, artistic, friendly and she genuinely cares about your event. Since we started working with her, I've had 3 other friends hire her, and everyone says the same thing. I could never imagine using anyone else for anything. We've taken the next step and asked her to be our photographer for life.

I regretted this decision as my husband passed away two months after our boy was born. They were both so apologetic and kind and invited me back when I was ready to take baby pictures for me. I reached out again when I had reached a safe point in my grief when he was 9 months old. They even took some photos of him with his grandmothers as a combined grandmothers, baby, and mommy and me shoot. Not only did they capture one of my favorite times in his babyhood, they we so sweet with all the grandmas. They navigated a grumpy baby and were so understanding.

We'd really love to gift this to them, but not sure if we could find someone willing to travel to the middle of nowhere or even afford it. Makenzie made our dream come true! I loved her website a lot. It's got great style and a lot of character. When I reached out to her she responded right away and was clear about her pricing which was actually very reasonable. We did have some quotes that were significantly lower, however, those photographers then charge $20 per picture once you receive the gallery. That's not what we wanted. We don't want our whole family messaging each other about which ones they want or make duplicated purchases. We just want a full gallery for all members to download. On the day of, Makenzie arrived early and we walked around to pick the spots best for the pictures. She waited so patiently for our big family (including 5 kids) to get there. Once we got started, she knows exactly what to do, how to direct us and made sure we got everything, the big family as a whole and each family (and even some animals)! Everybody loved how she worked and for a bunch of us that didn't know how to pose we enjoyed the session a lot! The pictures came out after xmas, they were beautiful, organic and so wholesome! I can't recommend her more!

I met Melissa through my friends that also had her photograph their weddings. When I saw the quality of her photos, I knew immediately that I wanted her for my future wedding. I also did my medical school graduation photos with her and I'm so happy I did! The photos came out amazing. Years later, I met the man of my dreams, got engaged, and found myself excited to plan my wedding. I knew Melissa was going to be one of my first vendor phone calls. From the beginning, she was professional and easy to communicate with. Initially, my fiance and I opted out of the engagement photos part of the package because we had wonderful proposal photos taken by family but we ended up changing our mind and adding it into the package. She allowed us to do so without an issue. We are so glad we did! We weren't sure where to do the photos and she ended up giving us wonderful recommendations. We LOVE our engagement photos. Throughout the wedding process, we felt very taken care of by Melissa. She had us answer questions so she could determine what was important to us and what parts of the wedding was especially important to capture. She was also able to answer all our questions as well. She is extremely experienced. The day of was a dream. Melissa was able to take all the poses, images, and group photos that we wanted for our big day. She captured everything perfectly and I had so many compliments from my family in regards to her professionalism and vibe. She and her team brought such a positive energy to our wedding and I cannot thank her enough. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND Melissa for wedding day photography! Book her!
