My name is McKinley Hodge, and I am the face behind the lens. I am a fun-loving mother of four and wife to an incredibly gifted, hard-working, and godly man. My husband and I are adventurers and spent the first few months of our marriage living in our van while traveling the country and busking in an array of exciting new places. Since "settling down," we have had the opportunity to live in a number of states across the country including Georgia, Texas, Florida, Washington, and North Carolina, and we have now come back home to serve in the very place we met, Memphis, TN.
Quality time is by far my strongest love language, so when I'm not capturing your precious moments or editing a gallery, you'll most likely find me with my family playing board games, reading, hiking, singing, or serving together in our church. I love to create beautiful things, and make the most of the time I've been given. As a mother, I hope to instill godly qualities in my children, and encourage them to pursue their passions wholeheartedly and share their gifts and love with the world.
My passion is deeply rooted in Christ and using the gifts I've been given to serve others and bring Him glory. I have always been a driven, goal-oriented individual with a relentlessly creative heart and I find myself overwhelmed with thankfulness to have the ability to serve others while doing what I love.
I started my photography business in the beautiful Evergreen State eager to grow with goals and ambitions that I hope never fall away. I truly love what I do and pour my heart into all the work I create for each and every family I find myself blessed to work with. Since launching my business, my work has been featured in several magazines world-wide including multiple features in issues of Prestige Models Magazine, Shutter Up Magazine, and cover and body features in Chasing Light Magazine. In 2022 and 2023, I also received the honor of being named the Best Photographer of Georgia by the Georgia Business Journal!
My goal with each session is to capture your precious moments and allow the pictures and memories made together to tell a story that's uniquely yours. I always want to provide my clients with an unforgettable experience, and strive to go the extra mile by ensuring each client has access to my full and growing client closet and heirloom-quality prints to save for a lifetime. I love the beauty in authenticity, and take the time to get to know each of my clients before our session, with hopes of creating an open and loving environment perfect for letting their relationships and personalities shine. I credit my consistent 5-star reviews to this express care to detail from booking to session delivery, and my genuine engagement with each of my clients on a personal level.
do it all to the name of the Lord Jesus,
And whatever you do, whether in work or in deed,
Colossians 3:17
giving thanks to God the Father through him.
