I’d be honored to walk with you through this wild, beautiful journey.

Whether you’re preparing to give birth or just want someone to help you feel grounded in the chaos of motherhood, I’m here to support you and document the parts you’ll want to hold onto forever. I offer holistic, hands-on birth and postpartum support, along with honest, connection-centered photography for mamas and families. 

Birth support + motherhood photography  

I'm mckailie

Hey, I’m Mckailie. I’m usually bouncing a baby on my hip, editing a gallery criss-cross applesauce at my desk, or heading to a birth with snacks in my bag and no clue what time I’ll be home.

I’m a birth doula,  family photographer and a small-town girl living life in rural Nebraska. I bring a holistic, heart-led approach to everything I do..with a chatty soul, zero judgment and probably a coffee in hand.

 Whether I’m holding space or holding the camera, I’m here to make sure women feel seen, supported, and celebrated in all seasons of life.

Mckailie has photographed my wedding, my sister in-laws wedding, two maternity sessions and 2/3 of my births. I cannot say enough good things about her! She’s incredibly talented, professional, punctual, and is so easy to work with / communicate with! She has such a friendly disposition, and we never feel awkward taking photos with her!

"I felt really good about having the birth plan and going through that whole process a little bit more prepared. There is so much going on at once and little time to process all the things!! The plan Mckailie helped create helped me feel like we had a little bit of control and comfort!"

McKailie has an incredible ability to put everyone at ease and capture authentic, beautiful moments that feel both natural and timeless. The magic she creates with her camera is nothing short of extraordinary
