photographs that feel like home
Your friendly neighborhood photographer
I strive to be the kind of photographer who feels like a friend from the moment we meet — warm, easygoing, and genuinely invested in you.
I know how vulnerable it can feel to be in front of the camera, especially in those early newborn days when you’re tired, emotional, and adjusting to a whole new world or when you have just completed the monumental task of getting a family coordinated, dressed, and to a location on time! I’m there to fluff the pillows, fix stray hair, soothe a baby if needed, and remind you how beautifully you’re doing. I move at your family’s pace, keeping things calm and relaxed so everyone — parents, siblings, and even tiny newborns — feels comfortable and cared for.
hi there!
I'm McKinzie.
Yes, I know it's spelled wrong, but you can't blame me or my parents.
See, it's my grandmother's maiden name so I guess we can all agree to blame the guy processing my ancestors at Ellis Island.
I like to think of myself as “The Friendly Alexandria Neighborhood Photographer” that people enjoy spending an evening with or having as one of their Newborn’s first visitors. Learn more about me and my work so you can decide if we would be a good fit!
“McKinzie was so much fun to work with! She was energetic,flexible and patient.”
