Hi there, I'm McKenzie.

I'm a photographer living in Portland, OR with my husband Jered, our three kids Sonny (5), Oliver (3) & Etta (1), and our Australian Shepherd Hugh Jackman.

A storyteller at heart, I’ve spent a decade-long career crafting narratives through the written word. Now, I use photographs instead to tell the story—and it’s usually one of connection, love, and a moment in time that will live on forever through the images we create together.

It’s a true honor to be invited in to capture something so special! It’s always my goal to know you, to nurture you, and to tell your beautiful story one picture at a time.

Essentially what photography is,
is life lit up.
