Hi, I’m Macey!

I grew up in Wilmington chasing sunsets, blasting music on late-night drives, and soaking up every second with the people I love. Those little moments that feel like they belong in a movie are what made me fall in love with photography. When my dad passed down his old camera, I picked it up and never really put it down. Now I’m back home on the coast, married to my best friend and raising a wild little toddler, and I’m still chasing that same feeling.

I’m a lifestyle and editorial photographer, but really, I’m a sucker for nostalgia. I want your photos to feel like the ones you’d find years from now in an old shoebox, the kind that stop you in your tracks and take you right back to that day. Not stiff poses or forced smiles, just the laugh you didn’t see coming, the hand squeeze, the quick glance across the room.

If you’d rather have photos that feel real than ones that look like everyone else’s, you’re my kind of people. The ones who’d pick a messy, laughing family photo over a perfect one, who’d rather dance in the kitchen than stand and smile. Let’s skip the matching outfits and the “everybody say cheese,” and make something that feels like you, a little imperfect, a lot of fun, and worth looking back on forever.

More than anything, my goal as your photographer is to make you feel confident, comfortable, and truly seen. Every person brings something unique and beautiful to a photo — you are what makes the art. When you book with me, you can trust that I’ll create an experience where you feel valued, admired, and completely yourself.
