YOUR senior SESSION
"We don't remember days, we remember moments."
Raw. Real. You.
That's what senior Photos should be all about.
Let's be honest- we love photos of ourselves where we feel like ourselves, am I right?
I believe your senior pictures should tell your story with YOU as the main character. After all, this is your last year of high school and that is worth celebrating and capturing!
So get ready to say goodbye to boring, traditional senior portraits, forced smiles, and "basic" pictures (okay, we can grab a COUPLE classic smiling ones for grandma!) Whether it's moshing at your favorite concert, thrifting for that next set of Levis, or curling up in a window on a rainy day while you read through your favorite Jane Austen novel, I'll work closely with you so we can let your passions and who you are take center stage and shine through on camera (in a creative and unique way).
Your senior session will be relaxed, casual, and exciting, like you're going out with your BFF to take spontaneous insta-worthy photos in a wildflower meadow (except you have a professional telling you what to do, how to pose, and making sure that everything is PERFECT). This is the time to throw away your insecurities or worries about what your peers may think and embrace who God created you to be.
“Our session with Makayla was nothing short of amazing. She got to know my daughter on a personal level, so she could capture who my daughter was and the things that were important to her in her photos. Makayla is one of the warmest, most talented people I have met and we LOVED our time with her. And her photos, wow, I can’t describe how stunning they turned out. The experience we had with Makayla was amazing!”

Get ready to meet a new friend! After booking your session, I'll email you my welcome packet that will give you all the styling tips and session details to help you prepare for your shoot. I’ll also send out a questionnaire before we meet- you’ll have time to come back to it if you need, and this is where I’ll ask for your vulnerability and honesty so we can create senior photos that really capture your soul. We’ll then meet for your consultation at my private studio where you can tell me even more about yourself, your “why” for your shoot, and I can give my creative ideas to make sure your session 100% reflects who you are. This will also be the time for you to see sample products and packages that I offer, so you can start thinking about how you’ll want to display and gift your images when all is said and done!

You'll start the day getting pampered by my hair and makeup artis. A lot of my seniors are hesitant for this portion because their biggest fear is- "I don't usually wear makeup, will I still look like me?" The answer I have for you is YES! My artists are pros at making sure you look like you, while still having a camera ready look and a little extra "oomph" to bring out your best features.
During your session we'll spend the day jamming to your favorite music as I document your life on camera! Your session will not just be the typical "stand here and smile" photo shoot (though I WILL be very directive, so no worries on your part!) We'll talk about life and high school, we'll explore your favorite spots and places that make you feel alive, we’ll dance, slow down, soak up the world around us, make memories, and romanticize a day in the life of YOU, capturing YOU.

YOUR GALLERY REVEAL
.03
As an old soul at heart, you'll find my work is deeply inspired by all things nostalgic, vintage, and timeless. That's why after your session I won't just send you images through cyberspace and leave you fumbling with how to get them into your hands and your home.
Instead, 2 weeks after your session we’ll meet for your reveal and you'll get to see all your beautiful moments for the first time in person. This will be your opportunity to pick out your favorite images and order your favorite products! From senior photo albums, film prints that give 90s mom and dad vibes, or large framed prints you can gaze at every day when you walk through your font door, together we'll find the perfect products for you. We'll place your order, I'll put the finishing touches on your final images, and your custom artwork will be on its' way!
Your gallery (A touch of nostalgia)
Within just a few weeks, you'll be able to share and gaze at the moments that have stolen your heart and that you have deemed irreplaceable and unforgettable. I'll be here each step of the way to make sure it goes as smoothly as possible and I hope we can become close friends through it all.
I am so excited to work with you,
