love notes from our

lovely
clients

"On the day of the shoot, she was so patient, and charismatic! My husband and kids loved her! Her husband was her assistant and he was so pleasant as well! Now about her work, Wow! The pictures far exceeded my expectations! I literally loved every single image! She captured our love in every picture! Thank you so much for your hard work and for creating memories that will last a lifetime for my family!"

— Elizabeth M.

"The changes your body (and emotions) go through when you're pregnant are tough. I've had every unpleasant symptom in the book these past 7 months and have felt the furthest thing from a princess in the process.

But y'all. If McKinley Hodge didn't change all of that! It was cold and the wind was blowing a million miles per hour but that dress!!! It was the best I’ve felt in months and I know I will cherish these memories for years to come. "

— Marianna D.

"We loved working with McKinley during our family photo shoot. She produced amazing work! I'm still not sure how she captured so many great pics when my small kids were running around 90% of the time. She was so patient and great with the kids!

— The Butlers

"She was wonderful to work with, very efficient and professional and made me feel totally comfortable in front of the camera. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a top-notch photographer."

— Anni D.
