Portrait, lifestyle & equine photographer

 

 

Makaylah Gustafson


Portrait & Lifestyle Photographer

I am a graduate from Antonelli Institute of Photography and Graphic Design. I'm located in Pittsburgh with my Fiancé and two cats. Animal lover at heart, I started riding horses when I was eight when my grandmother paid for a trail ride for me. It was lessons and shows after that! I combined both of my passions of horseback riding and art through photography. Growing up with eight brothers and sisters, I'm quite good with kids. I'm one of the oldest, so I helped out a lot with the younger kids. When I started getting interested in photography they were my first models. I would follow them around as they played in the yard, or I would find interesting lighting and try to get them to sit still! In my free time, I try to go on adventures.

Client Testimonials

We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful experience capturing this special chapter of our lives. Having our maternity photos taken in the comfort of our own home made the entire session feel so natural, relaxed, and personal. She made us feel completely comfortable and captured the sweetest little moments so beautifully. We will treasure these photos and memories forever. We are so grateful for her talent and the love she put into capturing this season for our family!

Maternity Session

Package 02

Mak was recommended highly by one of my bridesmaids and I’m so glad she did! Mak’s work is absolutely stunning and she captured my wedding day perfectly. She made sure to get all my requests and more that I didn’t even think about. My walls are covered with the moments she captured and I can’t wait to work with her again!
