Mackenzie Edwards photography specializes in family, milestone, and lifestyle sessions, thoughtfully centered on your story.

Hi there! I’m Mackenzie—photographer, wife, mom of three sweet girls, and a pediatric speech-language pathologist with a deep appreciation for slowing down, connection, and the beautifully imperfect moments that make a family yours.
My work is rooted in natural storytelling and guided by light, stillness, and genuine interaction. I believe the most meaningful photographs aren’t perfectly posed—they’re felt.

Highlights

“Mackenzie’s attention to detail in her photography is truly amazing. She captured the personalities of our family so naturally and perfectly. Before pictures, she even helped plan our wardrobes (the hardest part) and got to know more about our family before the day of pictures. She knew we had a son with autism going into it and made sure to be aware of his likes and dislikes so the session could be more relaxing and enjoyable for him. She was so organized, it made the whole experience go smoothly and we got amazing photos to cherish forever. I highly recommend her for families and especially those with special needs.”

I have had the pleasure of working with Mackenzie, and I can't recommend her enough! She specializes in amazing newborn and family sessions, and our experience was absolutely wonderful. From the moment we arrived, she made us feel comfortable and at ease.
Her ability to direct the session was incredible; she provided clear guidance while allowing us to be ourselves. The final photos turned out stunning—capturing precious moments that we will cherish forever. If you're looking for a talented photographer who is easy to work with and delivers beautiful results, look no further!
