a soft landing for your story

Photography for the people who want real life remembered.

meet your girl

Hey, my name is Mckailie Nicole

I spent my early 20s chasing the world and every adventure I could find… and somewhere along the way, I realized slow, meaningful living is where I feel the most myself. Coming back home grounded me, it gave me  the reminder that the “small” moments are anything but small.


My work comes from a slower, softer place. One that values real life over the perfect picture. I show up to capture you as you are, in the moments that matter most, without forcing anything.

hear it from my people

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! We have always received our photos back so quickly, and they are incredible quality! If you’re looking for an outstanding photographer for any big life event, Mckailie is 100% the best decision!

McKailie is SO great to work with! She has the best energy and makes the picture-taking experience really enjoyable. She is a true hype girl that has so much talent. Her communication is so helpful and I was blown away at how quickly she was able to edit photos and get them back to me. She believes in connection, her clients, and putting her 100% into this.. you won’t regret using McKailie!

Mckailie shot our elopement/engagement pictures and IT WAS AMAZING. She went out of her way to be helpful with anything and everything throughout the day. She was prepared and organized- which was super helpful with a groom that doesn’t love pictures. We got our photos back in record time and I cannot say enough about the quality. Our day was all smiles and laughter and it was perfectly captured in her work!

She is very experienced and knows exactly what to do and where to be. She made me feel very beautiful and good about myself. She was patient when the weather was not working out. She kept calm and was encouraging through it all. The pictures were breathtaking.  Mckailie isn’t just good at what she does but also good at being a friend on the day of. She’s one of those people that you can just automatically open up to and trust without knowing her super well. If you are considering her definitely choose her!!

The Stevensons

McKailie is AMAZING!! To start, she made our engagement session so fun, and something I won't ever forget. Not to mention how many people have brought up those pictures still! Couldn't have imaged our wedding day without her, and wouldn't have wanted anyone else. She makes you feel like your best friend is back just to shoot your wedding.  Everything went so smooth, because of her and she will spend the extra time to photograph something that is important to you.  If there's one decision to not hesitate on for your wedding, it's this one.
