Before you share your story, let me tell you mine..

My name is McKenna. I’m 26 years old, a self-taught photographer with 9 years of experience, full time videographer and editor, avid hiker, movie and music nerd, and tiny-home-builder!!

Pictured with me is my husband, Alan, who is also a vital part of this photography business. He helps manage the finances, growth, and administrative side of things, while also pouring lots of love and support into the photographer.

My Life

My mom often tells me the story of how she knew I would be a creative individual from a young age... one day as she was cleaning out a closet she gave me some old tissue paper to "keep me busy" and I came back a few minutes later wearing my new "dress." While I didn't go into fashion, to this day I love finding beauty in the ordinary - taking something simple and making magic with it. My promise as your photographer is not only to bring artistry and creativity to your special moments, but also to be your friend and help you feel like your most comfortable and confident version of you.
