Hi, I'm Makenzie! I'm so glad you're here!


Photographer, teacher, and the heart behind Captured by COco

 

 

How it all began

Captured by Coco was created in honor of my best friend, Bub, who lovingly called me “Coco.” What started as a nickname became the heart behind this business - a reminder to cherish the people, relationships, and moments that matter most.


Photography became even more meaningful through serving at my church, where I began capturing moments of worship, community, and connection. My faith has taught me that every season of life is a gift, and I believe photographs allow us to hold onto those memories long after the moment has passed.

 

My promise to you

 

Whether you’re celebrating a graduation, documenting your family, or planning a couples session, my goal is to create an experience that feels relaxed and enjoyable from start to finish.


You don’t have to know how to pose or worry about feeling awkward. I’ll guide you every step of the way so you can focus on being present while I preserve the moments that matter most.


Let’s preserve these moments, just as they are.

Kind Words from my clients

Captured by Coco was amazing. Not only did I get amazing photos of an amazing quality but also I was made to feel so pretty and confident!!! She gave me an experience and made the whole shoot an entire vibe! I’ve booked again and I can’t wait for my next session!!!!
