Hello, I'm Makayla!

NICE TO MEET YOU


The fact that you've made it here makes me so happy! That must mean you want to get to know me, right? I wish I had this amazing story on how I got into photography and graphic design, but honestly I've always loved being creative. Art was always my favorite subject in school. I have my bachelor in graphic design from South Dakota State University. Photography and graphic design are both passions of mine. I love capturing those special moments on camera. Looking back at photos and remembering those happy moments are what I strive for.


Am I the photographer for you? I want to capture your authenticity, laughter, and those good vibes. I believe it's important to deliver photos that capture your story. I'm here to break the rules and add movement and emotion to your photos. Again, my mission for you is to always feel comfortable and happy during your session.


Head over to my galleries to make sure my style fits your style. Do you love what you see? Come chat here or through my instagram @makaylalilystudio. I look forward to capturing your story!
