All about the images bursting with joy
About Mackenzie Romagni
The fact iS —
Joy can be found in everything...
if you know where to looK
It’s in those big laughs you feel all the way into your belly, sure. But it’s also hiding in the moments when your toddler refuses to do anything without their lovey. Or when your daughter is deep into her awkward-as-heck Chandler Bing-smile phase.
The joy comes from being real. From never feeling like you have to pose or pretend in your photos, and instead simply do your thing and capture what you adore about your real family.
Joy can be mundane. It can be silly.
It can be anything, as long as it feels true to you.
I'D LOVE to CAPTURE
the REALNESS of YOUR FAMILY
Her photos captured the beauty of our family.

"The love and the chaos. It’s emotional for me to see our family all together. As a mom, I feel like I’m in no photos. So to see the whole family in a shot, it feels authentic.”
These photos weren’t posed.
They weren’t perfect. They were something much better — they were HER.
Picture this: It’s 2020 (nothing big happening around then, huh?) and I’m a new mom. After years of working for food brands as a content director and dipping my toe into professional photography, I’d moved to Singapore in 2018 for my husband’s job and turned my focus to growing as a freelance food and brand photographer...
Now, it was 2020, and my creative spirit was … spent. But when I thought about the bright spots of motherhood, besides being with my daughter, it was also the photographs. Taking pictures of my sweet, red-headed baby girl filled me up, creatively, like nothing in the corporate world really had.
Snapping real photos of my daughter was the catalyst for everything
FAMILY PHOTOGRAPHER IN CLEVELAND
All the little faces she made, the tiny milestones that marked each month. These photos were a visual diary of our life together, and they meant so much to me.
They helped me see just how important genuine, lifestyle photos were. I jumped feet-first into learning everything I could, practiced on my friends’ kids (who were all such good sports) and officially started working with other families across Cleveland and Northeast Ohio in 2021.
