Makena did a wonderful job! She was on time and super helpful. She came prepared with poses and was super positive and encouraging the whole day! I highly recommend for weddings or any type of event really!

THE EXPERIENCE
BOOK. THE. SHOOT. I had my senior photo session in August and from beginning to end the process with Makena was perfect. I could not be happier with how they turned out, and thanks to her artistry and creative direction during the shoot, I got the best senior photos I could ask for! I have recommended many upcoming seniors next year to book with Makena because she deserves all the love!!

It was such a pleasure having Makena take my wedding photos. They are spectacular and so beautiful. She knew exactly what she was doing and even walked around the property before hand to pick out amazing spots.

Makena is THE BEST!!! She is amazingly talented, but her personality made the whole photo process fun and a breeze. We will absolutely be using Makena for my son's senior pictures. We love our pictures and really enjoyed our time with Makena. I couldn't recommend her more!

Going in to pictures I was nervous that I wouldn’t know how to pose, but Makena does an awesome job with explaining it and helping. She is a welcoming person so our whole session felt just like she was a friend. In the end, the pictures came out so awesome and I love them!

THE EXPERIENCE
Makena was amazing!! I found her account on instagram and was in love with her photography/editing style for my graduation photos. When we met, she was so kind and personable and let me recreate my inspiration photos as well as taking the lead and showing me different angles and poses. I could not recommend her enough! Can’t wait to book her for more sessions!!

THE EXPERIENCE
We hired Makena to shoot my daughter’s senior photos in Portsmouth, NH. Not only were the images gorgeous, Makena made the entire shoot a great experience. It was a lot of fun! I highly recommend her for any important events that need a photographer.

THE EXPERIENCE
Makena was easy to work with and very accommodating to our ever changing schedule. The photos were amazing with interesting poses and backgrounds - not your cookie cutter family photos. We were thrilled and will use her again!!

THE EXPERIENCE
Makena was fantastic to work with - punctual, accommodating, kind, and quality outcomes. We were trying to outrun a storm, so the sky got dark quickly, but you would never have known that if you saw the final products. We highly recommend her!
