Why we do what we do.
Meet the Hoods - Davis & Makyah

Partners in marriage, life, and photography.

Our dream is to capture your most important moments creatively and cinematically while telling your story the way you want it to be told.

Being married ourselves, we know the importance and pressure of finding a photographer you love and trust. We’re here to ease that stress. While we capture every smile and pose, our intention is also to catch every detail - the deep breaths, the tears, the laughter, the moments you don’t even realize are happening.

We understand the nerves, the excitement, and every emotion in between that this season brings. Because we’ve lived it, we photograph with intention, a calm presence, and always with the end in mind. With every click of the shutter, we are envisioning your reaction - personally aware of how much the day means.

I’ve always been drawn to creativity—photography first, but also film, music, writing, and design—and I’ve been part of the wedding world for years. What matters most to me is making sure couples feel supported and at ease throughout the day. When I’m not working, you’ll usually find me watching a character-driven movie, enjoying a good iced coffee, or getting lost in a deep conversation with people I love.

I love all things creative - painting, playing the cello, scrapbooking, dancing (not that I’m very good, but that’s not stopping me), and have been taking photos since middle school. When I’m not working, you’ll find me reading, playing board games, and learning how to cook! I love love and will definitely shed a tear or two while capturing your day.
