Our Services
At MRT Photography, photography is more than a session; it’s a chance to pause time.
It’s about honoring the season you’re in, the people and animals you love, and the stories you’ll want to remember for a lifetime. Every session is approached with intention, patience, and a deep respect for your story.
I believe the most meaningful images are created when you feel comfortable, seen, and free to simply be. My role is to gently guide when needed, step back when it matters most, and preserve moments that feel real; not rushed or forced.

Portraits
Whether you’re celebrating a growing family, a quiet season, or the beauty of everyday life, portrait sessions are designed to feel relaxed and natural. These are any session that revolve around humans as the main stars! I offer family portraits, newborn, maternity, branding/business, seniors, and more.
These sessions focus on genuine connection—soft laughter, quiet glances, and the little in-between moments that often become the most cherished. Together, we create images that feel like you, or your business, captured with care and artistry.
Equine
Horses are more than animals; they’re partners, teachers, business, and part of the family.
With years of hands-on equine experience, MRT Photography specializes in capturing the unique bond between horse and rider, as well as presenting horses for sale to the public! From powerful movement, to quiet moments, to fine art, to best presenting a sale horse; these sessions honor the beauty and grace found in every aspect of the equine word.
Every detail matters, and every image is created with an understanding of both horses and the people who love them.

Weddings
Your wedding day is a collection of precious moments—some planned, many beautifully unexpected.
MRT Photography approaches weddings with a storytelling mindset, capturing the emotion, the faith, the joy, and the subtle details that make your day uniquely yours. From intimate ceremonies to joyful celebrations, your love story is documented with care, reverence, and authenticity.
Engagement sessions are a chance to slow down, connect, and celebrate the beginning of your forever—captured in a way that feels natural and meaningful.
Events
Some moments aren’t staged—they unfold.
At MRT Photography, event photography is about more than documenting what happened. It’s about preserving the atmosphere, the emotion, and the meaning behind the gathering. Whether it’s a celebration, horse show, milestone, or community event, each one holds a story worth remembering.
My approach is observant and as hands on as needed-capturing moments as they naturally occur while staying attentive to the details that bring your event to life.
How The Process Works
Complimentary Consultation
Every booking begins with a free consultation.
This is our chance to connect, talk through your vision, and make sure we’re the right fit. We’ll discuss the type of session or event you’re planning, location ideas, timing, and any details that are important to you. It’s also a time for you to ask questions and feel confident moving forward.
No pressure—just a genuine conversation about your story.
Secure Your Date
Once we’ve decided to move forward, your session or event date is officially reserved with:
-
A signed contract
-
A non-refundable retainer fee
The contract protects both of us and ensures clarity on expectations, while the retainer secures your spot on the calendar and allows me to begin planning your session with intention and care.
Until both are received, dates cannot be held.
From Planning to Final Images
After booking, I’ll guide you through simple preparation details—location ideas, styling tips, and timing—so you feel confident and ready. On the day of your session or event, you can relax and enjoy the experience while I handle the rest, gently guiding when needed and capturing moments as they naturally unfold.
Following your session, your images are carefully selected and professionally edited in a timeless, true-to-life style. You’ll receive an online gallery to view your finalized portraits, filled with photos ready to cherish for a lifetime!

When you book with MRT Photography, you can expect:
-
A thoughtfully guided, unrushed experience
-
Attention to detail from planning to final delivery
-
Professionally edited images with a bold, rich style
-
A focus on storytelling, connection, and authenticity
Above all, you can expect to walk away with images that feel meaningful- photographs that grow more valuable with time.

"MRT Photography is equal parts talent and kind. She has captured some of the most important moments of my family’s lives and has always made her subjects feel completely comfortable and at ease while being over the top amazing to work with. Not only does McKayla make her equine subjects look their very best, but she also can make any person seem photogenic, which is incredibly rare to find a photographer that can do both. I would 100% recommend MRT Photography for anyone’s photography needs. Her work is absolute art and you will love and cherish it for the rest of time. I know I do."
