I’m Makinna, the photographer behind KinnaLee Photography.

My journey began at the age of 10, inspired by the beauty of the National Gardens in Washington, D.C. What started as a simple love for photography has grown into a deep passion for capturing meaningful moments and helping people see the beauty in themselves.

I specialize in photographing seniors, athletes, families, maternity, Fresh 48 sessions, newborns, engagements, and elopements.

My approach is guided, relaxed, and focused on movement—allowing for genuine, natural moments to unfold. If you’re looking to preserve a special season of life, I would be truly honored to be part of your story.

A photoshoot with me is designed to be a fun, relaxed, and memorable experience. I’m very outgoing and fully invested in getting the best shots—yes, that sometimes means getting a little dirty to capture the perfect angle!

I provide clear guidance throughout the session, helping you with posing while also bringing your inspiration photos to life.

My goal is to create a comfortable, family-friendly environment where you can be yourself. I’ll be your biggest hype person during the shoot and will share images along the way to make sure we’re capturing exactly what you envision.
