Welcome! A Little About Your Photographer…

Hi there! If you’re new here, this blog will hopefully help you get to know me! I’m Makenna, hence the name of my business.

I’m 22 (I’ll be 23 this month!!!) and I’ve lived in WNC my entire life. These lovely mountains are easy to take for granted when it’s all you’ve known. One of the perks is, of course, that I know almost every waterfall and mountain peak from Highlands to Asheville (ok, maybe I’m exaggerating). I used to HATE hiking. It was the sweat, it was the burn in my muscles, and I think, most of all, it was the lack of excitement for me. I mean, a stunning view or a roaring waterfall should seem like enough but it wasn’t. You know what IS enough? Taking a client with me on the miserable hike to the top and shooting the most jaw dropping images. That’s worth it. Good thing I’ve combined my knowledge of the best hiking trails and my eye for the perfect angle and gave the opportunity to a picture perfect moment.

Ok, enough about the mountains of WNC, let’s get back to me. :) I’m in my last semester of nursing school and just as you might guess, it’s super stressful. I’m in class or at clinical 5 days a week, sometimes 12 hour days. I’m counting down the days until graduation and I can’t wait to finally work as a nurse! I enjoy spending time with my fiancé, my nieces and nephews, and my sister/best friend. I don’t have much time outside of those things and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I’m thankful for this little side business and every ounce of support I’ve received. I love to see one of my posts being shared and when I get a new client that was referred to me by one of you. To say thank you, I will be offering a referral discount. If someone mentions your name and books a session with me, you will receive 10% off your next session.

I want to thank you for taking the time to read and share this blog, it’s the little things that support me so much.

Until next time,

Makenna :)
