behind the camera

Welcome friend, my name is Makayla

I am your girl behind Soleada Photos. I am a wedding and elopement photographer currently based in Whitefish, Montana. I have had the beautiful opportunity to travel full time for the past two years and it truly gives me so much joy and fulfillment. My husband, golden retriever, and I have landed in The Flathead Valley and I look forward to every adventure that comes our way.

About Soleada Photos

Let's Share Your Story


My work as a photographer is inspired by my creative passions and the amazing ability that photographs have to capture the full emotional power of a moment. These aren't just simple images - they're moments in time that have been captured forever so that you can relive those joyful memories again and again. That's the kind of magic I strive to photograph with every couple I work alongside. Get ready because it all starts here.


"Again Jesus spoke to them, saying, “I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life."

John 8:12

Kylie + Michael

The absolute BEST!! She’s your own personal cheerleader as she’s taking pictures, but she’s actually the star of the show with her skills! Not only is the session so much fun, but the pictures turn out absolutely perfect every single time! It honestly feels like you’ve been lifelong friends once you’ve had a session together - you couldn’t choose anyone better than Makayla
