Hi, I’m Makenzie! I create award- winning, natural pageant headshots in a confident and uplifting environment. I believe that confidence can start behind the camera. Aside from specializing in pageant headshots I am also a pageant coach located here in Bee Spring, Ky. I begin consulting those from ages 2 and take all ages prepping for the big stage.

Where did it all begin?

In 2023, my niece began competing in pageants right before she turned 2. She has always loved being on stage and having her pictures taken. Each moment she took the stage —she grew more love for it. She became so confident and learned to talk SO well! I became her coach—while she was learning, I was too! Our pageant families grew very close to us through the year.

In 2024, I was diagnosed with a brain condition and underwent 2 brain surgeries. with this challenge came more. I wasn’t able to continue my normal everyday job and continue working with Reilynn. During my recovery I was still trying to stay busy. My niece became my inspiration. With everything going on— she kept her big, bright personality and never lost her push even when I could not 100%. We started our platform “A Little “rei” Of Sunshine”, giving back to the people in our community.

At the end of 2024, Reilynn brought home, the 2024 Wee Miss Kentucky Festivals title and then in July 2025, she brought home the 2025 Wee Miss U.S. AmeriFest title!!

At the end of 2025 I had over 200 local, state, and national photo wins!!
