Heyy! I'm Makala

the person behind the lens

Professional Photographer and Videographer based in Charlotte, NC, with availability for projects throughout North Carolina and beyond.

I was born in Mecklenburg County and raised in McConnells, SC, by my father. Family values are at the core of who I am, and I am passionate about living life with joy, traveling, and spreading positivity. I strive to uplift others each day by sharing my energy and encouraging them to embrace self-love and appreciation. My passion lies in connecting with people, learning about their interests, and helping them recognize their unique strengths and inner beauty. I believe in the importance of living in the moment and finding peace beyond life’s challenges.


Currently, I serve as the Head JV Basketball Coach, where I have the privilege of working with young athletes. I am dedicated to guiding them not only in their athletic development but also in their personal growth, helping them achieve success both on and off the court.
