There's a thousand marketing ploys and tactics you can implement to make quick cash this week - but none of them will feel grounding. Stable. Intentional.

The Intention Academy is designed to help creative business owners, new and experienced, find stability and roots in how they operate their business. It's designed to guide you in streamlining your processes, organizing your workflow, and using communication to create the best experience for your clients.

Hey, it's Makayla. I'm a Duluth, MN and Saint Paul, MN based wedding photojournalist.

I photographed my first wedding in 2014 and what came after could only be described as an endless pursuit to only do that, for the rest of my life.

I started photographing professionally in 2012, which means I'm coming up on my 14th year in the photography industry. And there's a lot that feels like home, but a lot that's ready for change.

Together, we're going to create that wave. We're going to be those photographers that focus on creating images with intention, on building businesses with space for growth, on timeless principles and only praising what matters.

There's no hustle here, no burnout here, no late-night editing or having to say, "sorry, (honey, baby, puppy) I'm busy".

Together, we're building businesses that leave room for breathing.
