A Picture is Worth A Thousand Words...

In my small, but growing, business I have had the honor to work with such creative, supportive, and kind-hearted families and individuals. It is always my first priority to make sure my clients get what they want and are happy with the photos they receive. Below are just a few comments that have truly made my passion worth pursuing.

"Braden is not just a photographer,  he is an artist with a passion for photography that I've never seen before. His personal approach made everyone feel comfortable during the shoot. We had the best time taking our family pictures and have beautiful pictures as the result. I highly recommend you use Braden for all your photography needs."
-Colleen Riley 2018

​​"Braden's photography skills are absolutely amazing, one of the best I've see and he's only a senior in high school so that means he can only get better. He lets you take as many pictures as you want, and helps with creative posing ideas. He's so fun to work with! My friends and I will be coming back multiple times."
-Rachel Ott 2018

"I'm extremely impressed with how my pictures turned out! Braden was able to make me, who is the exact opposite of photogenic, actually look great and comfortable with getting my picture take. I can't recommend using Braden as a photographer enough. He is very talented at what he does and will leave you extremely satisfied with your photos."

​"I absolutely loved my session with Braden. He is so acknowledgeable, yet he makes you feel comfortable. One thing I like what Braden does is that he shows you the pictures he just took as you move along which I found very helpful. You also receive your photos as soon as possible, which I love. Overall, Braden is so very talented and his work will blow you away!"

​"This is the second time I have hired Braden to take pictures of my daughters and wow... just WOW!!! We were beyond thrilled with the results. Braden clearly has an eye for photography but also takes into consideration what his client wants. Braden’s use of color in his pictures brings out the natural beauty in his subjects and makes them stand out. I highly recommend hiring Braden for your next photo session!"

​"Braden was extremely professional and I couldn't be happier with my daughter's senior pictures.  He was very patient with us and they turned out amazing!  My daughter even liked them, which rarely happens :)
I will be contacting Braden for my youngest daughter's senior photos when the time comes.  He's a wonderful person to be around and an even greater photographer!"

"Braden took our family photos. We are so very happy with how they turned out. I can’t decide which ones to have printed. I might just have to print all of them!  They are beautiful. They are so clear and vibrant. Braden was very knowledgeable with what would be a great background, etc.  He was a lot of fun to work with!  I will be recommending him to anyone that needs a photographer!"
-Colleen Haines 2020

"Where do I start with what a wonderful experience it was working with Braden McMakin? For starters, the beautiful venue he chose in Chesterfield was fantastic! We were able to move to different landscapes where Braden captured my girls and their dogs with ease and beauty. Second, I mentioned we added dogs to the mix and that is not any easy task to take on and all I can say is just WOW! We all laughed and had a wonderful experience. And finally, Braden made it easy from start to finish. His communication is fantastic! I highly recommend Braden McMakin photography and we will definitely be seeking his artistic skills in the future!" 
-Kathleen Bobbitt 2020

​"Braden did an amazing job with taking Jack's senior pictures.  He really captured Jack's natural expressions and took so many great shots, it was difficult to choose a favorite one. I will definitely be contacting Braden in the future to take pictures again. Thank you, Braden! Jack and I enjoyed our time working with you."
-Shelly McCormick 2020

​"​I would highly recommend Braden as a photographer, which is a lot coming from me, an artist and former amateur photographer myself. Braden has a natural eye for both composition and lighting. He delivered superior results with a fast turnaround, which is pretty remarkable considering he works two jobs and is attending Webster University!"   
​-Buffy Cundiff* 2020

"Braden has done our front porch session and I loved his work. Beautiful and reasonably priced. I contacted him again if he can take pictures of our elderly pet who has fallen sick. He agreed to come in such short notice. His passion for photography shows in all his works. He knows how to capture the perfect moments. He is very easy to work with. Braden is not just a great photographer but a very good person too. If I was to rate him I will give him a 10/10."
-Sherry Salvosa* 2020

"I asked Braden to take pictures for my 21st birthday and I had so much fun during the session. Braden is amazing at what he does, and I could not recommend him much more than I already do. He has the greatest ideas for the sessions and he is one of the nicest and most comfortable photographers to be around. I love Braden’s work and I will continue to go to him for photos!"
-Emily Stabile 2021

"Braden is so amazing to work with! He has an eye for every little detail and how to make it perfect! What I loved most about this session is how he let me guide the session. He made sure it was what I wanted. Every spot/position he showed me the picture and would re do if I didn’t like it! It is very impressive of how creative and talented Braden is!"
-Kara Bobbitt* 2021

"I am someone who hates getting my pictures done because I am very self conscious, Braden though made me feel so comfortable. He showed me the pictures after he took them before we moved to a different spot to make sure I liked them. I couldn’t be happier with how my senior pictures turned out. Without a doubt Braden is truly talented and you will not be disappointed."
-Isabella Holler* 2021

"Braden is so creative and fun to work with. He was open to any and every idea I had when shooting my senior photos. He has a natural eye for photos that are going to be beautiful. I love every single one of my senior photos and I wouldn’t choose anyone else for the job. He is so talented and very kind through the whole process. He is a fabulous photographer!"
