Utah Lifestyle Photographer
The best photographs aren't just seen—they're felt.
my approach has been, and continues to be, that— photography should be poetic, matchless, and exude raw, intimate emotion that is unique to each family and couple.
I don’t chase trends, I seek out dreamy feelings that make you feel the poetry and emotion in an image and transport you back to those very moments.
As a Utah based photographer, I believe that photography is a permanent reminder of the best parts of our lives and I want to be there to fully and authentically capture those unforgettable moments.

“Our family/newborn session with McKalie was an absolute DREAM! She was so kind and patient and interactive with our kids they felt like they were playing games with her instead of taking pictures and you can see the joy on their little faces in the photos! I was so impressed with how quickly she knew what to do to help us look beautiful together but also relaxed and comfortable. I am in love with the sweet memories she captured for us and couldn’t recommend her enough!”

“I am BEYOND in love with these photos! I waited to look at the full gallery with my husband and we were both sobbing going through every image. Every single picture is literally worth EVERYTHING to us!! I cannot believe how talented McKalie is and generous with her creativity and vision. These are so so so so priceless. This time with our little girl has been the best of our entire lives and having it captured with PERFECTION means more than we could ever express. This is seriously magic. Her ability to take this moment of our lives and capture not just how it looks but how it FEELS!!!!!!!! THE SOUL!!!!!!!!! Only she could do a session like this. I am so so so so so so so so so so grateful, these photos will always mean so much to us!”

“McKalie was everything I hoped for in a photographer! She took newborn photos for us and did a spectacular job. I can tell she cares so much about what she does and enjoys it. She pays so much attention to the details and takes the time to get the shots just right. She fit us in her schedule so quick right after I had my baby. I have two other kids & she was so good with them during photos. She knew the perfect ways on how to entertain them to get good shots. Our pictures were everything I dreamed of. I loved how she took her time & made sure she got all the shots just right. I didn’t feel rushed and she even took extra time with us to make sure she got everything captured. She has a unique way of capturing moments & I feel like our photos aren’t like anyone else’s. They are timeless and unique to us. I love how she captured our family! McKalie is absolutely incredible & I’m so glad we found her!”

“McKalie was an absolute DREAM to work with! McKalie shot my Bridals, wedding, and our Anniversary photos, and we’ll definitely be hiring them again for every other milestone we hit. I’ve worked with a lot of photographers before, but nobody compares to her, and I’ll never hire anyone else. Her creativity and eye for beauty are absolutely mind-blowing! We seriously have dozens of favorites to print and hang from our last session alone! Can’t say enough good things about working with McKalie."

"When I got our gallery back from McKalie, my husband and I both cried. I can’t believe she captured the magic of our love so perfectly. Even though it wasn’t our wedding day, she made the experience so fun and personal and really brought our emotions to the surface and it felt like it may as well have been."

"I loved working with McKalie! I was so worried about looking awkward in the photos but she helped me feel so relaxed and comfortable. These are some of my favorite pictures and I cannot wait to get them printed and hanging on our wall! We will definitely be booking with her in the future for all our family's milestones!"
