Hi, I’m Makayla — a 20-year-old photographer based in Newfoundland.

I grew up surrounded by sports, including volleyball, figure skating, and especially gymnastics, which was a huge part of my life for 10 years. Through gymnastics, I found some of my best friends and learned the importance of connection and encouragement. I later became a gymnastics coach and judge, and those experiences helped shape who I am today.

My love for photography started when I was young, using my mom’s Nikon camera to make YouTube videos and take pictures of my dog, my family, and just about everything around me. As I got older, I realized how meaningful photographs truly are. I’ve always loved looking back on old pictures with friends, remembering the moments we shared, and reliving the memories that made us laugh, smile, and feel connected. That’s what made me fall in love with photography — the ability to preserve those moments and make memories last forever.

I love meeting new people, hearing their stories, and creating an experience where everyone feels comfortable and welcome. Since I was young, it has always been important to me that people feel included and that they’re able to enjoy themselves fully. That heart is what inspired Makayla Hunt Photography.

My goal is to create a relaxed and fun environment where you can feel at ease and be yourself. I want every session to feel natural and enjoyable, and I hope that when you work with me, you feel like you’re spending time with a friend while creating beautiful memories that will last a lifetime.
