wedding & elopement photographer
M. Childress Photo
your quirky, thrift queen, photography wizard of a bff. I curse like a sailor, I LOVE my babies (my son AND my dog because yes, she's a baby too), and I’m beyond obsessed with documenting the extraordinary. My home base is in NWI, but I am ALWAYS down to travel.
Thank you for being here, loving my art, supporting me – loving me.
heyy!

about me
Whether you're here to book your wedding day, engagement photos, a senior, or family session with me, my ultimate goal will always remain the same: to give you precious memories in photo form that take you back to that exact REAL moment any time you look through them.
My favorite photos are the blurry, perfectly imperfect ones where you can FEEL the emotions screaming out to you. That is the true magic of photography and what sets my heart on fire.
i wanna document you in all your feels.

Maddie & Jake
I love that mckenah was so confident in what she does. i was super antsy & anxious and i cant thank her enough for not only being our photographer, but for being the person to calm my nerves and make everything run smoothly. She was so much more than just our wedding photographer!
jacquelyn & Robbie
mckenah was beyond amazing. she was so easy to work with as well as fun to be around. her thoughts and poses turned out beautiful. i would recommend her to anyone and plan on using her for other life events in the future.
Kayla & josh
Everything from our day was so perfect!! Our wedding gallery is everything I was hoping for and more. McKenah was so creative with our pictures and we're obsessed with all of them!
Brittany & Vincent
mckenah was absolutely amazing. she was a wedding photographer and coordinator all in one! I would recomment her to absolutely anyone and will continue to use her for any future family photos. she went above and beyond for us and truly has an amazing talent! Thank you so much for being a part of our special day!
Layla & Matt
mckenah was so easygoing and made us feel so comfortable all day long. as overwhelmed as we were with everything, she made sure it all went smoothly. it was so nice when she took us up to the dunes for portraits away from others because it gave us some "us time" before being pulled in a million different directions during the reception
Vanessa & Brian
we were SO INCREDIBLY PLEASED WITH EVERYTHING OUR DAY HAD TO OFFER! The love, support, and our vendors were all very impressive to us. McKenah was absolutely great. she understood what i was looking for, and was incredibly helpful with my super long dress train. the only thing i might change would be booking more time with her because she was so great to have. I cannot thank her enough for being so attentive!
Are you looking for more than your typical, overly posed, run-of-the-mill photography – then great news, you’re 1000% in the right place! No matter what kind of portrait session you want to book, you can count on me to authentically capture you and your vision.
We don't force things around here. Instead, we have fun and let things play out just as they're meant to. That’s when the true magic happens! Just be you, and I’ll handle the rest!
Every portrait session lasts about 60-90 minutes at the location of your choice, is customizable, and comes with a fully downloadable online gallery with a minimum of 100 digital photos.
