Life is all about growth….

Sometimes I sit back and think about my life and how so much has changed since I graduated high school. I remember photographing people totally for free and just for fun, I never in a million years thought that I could QUIT my job and do what I love every single day. Photography started out as nothing more than a hobby, I would bring my point and shoot camera to the beach and photograph anything from a spec of sand to my family soaking up the sun. I remember asking my parents for a new camera every year until I got my Canon Rebel T6… and boy did I think it was high dollar having a camera that the lens came off.

I still remember the feeling when a senior reached out to me and asked if I would take her High School Senior photos & I was SO excited, even tho I had no clue about posing or lighting. Someone actually trusted me and wanted ME to take their photos. I will forever be grateful for that moment because it opened SO many doors for me. My first few shoots I charged hardly anything, and a lot of people told me I could never make a successful career out of this. Well… those people were SO wrong!!

Over the last few years I have put so much into myself, investing in new gear, education and pouring my heart and soul into Mak’s Captured Moments all while working a full time job. Finally I took the leap and went full time and I am so happy. I wake up everyday and get to do what I love …. theres nothing better. I am so proud of myself for creating my own brand, for growing along the way & for believing in myself.

All of my past clients who have stuck around with my growth, THANK YOU. Without every past bride and groom, family, couple, senior , expecting mama…. this would not be possible for me and for that I am forever grateful. I can not wait to see what the future has in store for me & I can not wait to meet all the new faces along the way.

I will leave some photos below from when I first started and some taken recently…. sorry in advance for the 2015 photos
