This is Midwest Photography.


I'm a lifestyle photographer striving to help you capture all of life's magical little moments from newborns to weddings. If you’re looking for a laid-back photographer who feels more like a friend than a vendor — let’s chat

Let’s Keep It Real (and Really Fun)


I’m all about capturing the real stuff — the laughs that sneak up on you, the wind in your hair, the quiet moments in between. No stiff poses, no fake smiles. Just you, being your awesome, unfiltered self. Whether we're chasing golden hour or just hanging out, I’ll make sure you feel totally at ease — and leave with photos that actually feel like you.

About

Hey, I'm MaKayla.

I specialize in capturing real moments: the belly laughs, the windblown hair, the in-between glances that you didn’t even know happened. My style? Candid, warm, and full of life — just like you. People say I’m calm, upbeat, and great at making you feel like yourself in front of the camera (even if you usually run from it). Whether you’re planning a wedding, a family session, or just want photos that actually feel like you, I’ve got you.

My Story



My goal with photography is to capture the raw beauty in everyday moments.



Testimonials

I was so blown away by the ability of MaKayla to capture my vision for my son’s newborn photos and then to tie it all in again for his 1st Birthday photos! She really brought life to the vision I had and she always went above and beyond to make sure we were happy with our sessions!
