About Me

I am so happy you're here

Hi, my name is Makaela - a new photographer. I believe in chasing golden light, capturing real laughter, and telling honest, beautiful stories through my lens.


Wether it’s quiet moments between a couple or the wild giggles of a toddler covered in birthday cake, I live for those unscripted flashes of life.

Makaela Goeden; Who I am

My journey into photography wasn’t planned — it was sparked by a single moment. One day, I picked up a camera, looked through the lens, and something clicked (literally and figuratively). I realized I didn’t just want to take pictures — I wanted to make something with them. Something honest. Something beautiful. Something that would freeze time in the way only photography can.

Balancing life as a mom and working full-time means my days are full — but photography is where I slow down and reconnect. It’s my creative space. My reset. My way of seeing the world and sharing it.



Thanks for being here — whether you’re looking for a photographer, a bit of inspiration, or just curious about my work, I’m so glad our paths crossed
