Hi, I'm McKayla! I'm an elopement and small wedding photographer based in southern California. Nothing makes me happier than running around with my camera and my amazing couples. Read on to get to know me a little better!

I was born and raised in southern California just a few miles from the beach. I love the variety of landscapes here and being so close to the beach, mountains, and desert- a few of my favorite spots are Yosemite, Joshua Tree, the eastern Sierra mountains, and Big Sur!

I started my photography journey in a high school photography class where I got to develop and print my own film. I still love shooting film- it has a different feel that digital photographs just can't match. I offer film photography as an add-on to my packages!

I'm a pretty sarcastic person and I try not to take things too seriously, except when it counts! I think this helps me in my work because it helps take some pressure off of my couples- who wants to be photographed by someone without a sense of humor?

When I'm not working, I love baking, taking my dogs on local hikes, road trips, true crime podcasts, brewery trivia, and rollerskating with my chihuahua at the beach. I have a degree in film and I love watching movies and TV (and I watch way more than I should!)

◦ I worked as a dog lifeguard
◦ I have three rescue pups
◦ I went to college in New York City
◦ My friends and I love brewery trivia 
◦ I've been in the Arctic Ocean
◦ My dream is to have a little farm full           of rescue dogs, tiny goats, and a llama         (or five!)

I'm a pretty sarcastic person and I try not to take things too seriously, except when it counts! I think this helps me in my work because it helps take some pressure off of my couples- after all, shouldn't your photo session be a fun experience?

When I'm not working, I love baking, camping, road trips, true crime podcasts, brewery trivia (my team is called See You Next Tuesday), and rollerskating with my dog at the beach. I have a degree in film and I love watching movies and TV (and I watch way more than I should!)

let's talk!
