“I remember when I first discovered the McCartney's work on social media. I instantly fell in love with their style and how they made each subject look so natural & effortlessly themselves. I knew then that there was no better choice than to pick the McCartneys for senior photos. 

I remember being so nervous walking into the studio for the first time, but Butch’s effortless humor and Kelsy’s warmth instantly made me feel at ease, allowing me to be my true self in front of the camera with their bubbly personalities. Their talent, attention to detail, and genuine care for each one of their clients is noticeable and is certainly reflected in their work.

When I stepped into the studio, Kelsy and Butch made me feel so beautiful, important, and loved, and now I carry that feeling with me in all walks of my life. I truly feel like I have gained friends in Kelsy and Butch and thank them for everything they’ve done to make my senior year so incredibly special. If you’re considering your options for senior photos, I would strongly recommend Kelsy and Butch for the most incredible experience. Besides, who doesn’t love a two for one deal?!”

“it was easy to pick out the ones that stood out most to us, and left us intrigued to see more. McCartney’s was the obvious choice. 

What wasn’t so obvious to me, especially as a mom of our first child getting pictures taken like this, was that a senior photo session is far more than taking the photo…it is truly an experience from start to finish. I was so impressed with the level of preparation that McCartney’s put into preparing for Olivia’s photo shoots. When the day of her shoot arrived, I was filled with emotion because my baby girl was being photographed as a senior. Butch and Kelsy kept me laughing and smiling the whole time. I wasn’t thinking about time gone by but rather about a bright future for the girl behind the lens. I was in awe of their fluidity to which they worked through each shot, each scene, each clothing change. Every little detail from the angle of the sun to anticipating a breeze gently blowing her hair all was accounted for. They even thought of little things like something for Olivia to sit on before she would sit on a concrete bench and snag her dress. I didn’t have a thing to worry about as a mom and I could just sit back and watch how effortlessly they captured my daughter’s personality. 

In the end, I guess I was a bit naïve to think that we were simply buying a package of photos. We were investing in far more than that when we confidently signed on with McCartney’s. Because of them, the investment has paid greater dividends than we ever expected, and we will forever be grateful to the McCartney‘s for the beautiful work they produced, and the beautiful soul they unveiled behind the lens with our daughter. Thank you for everything Kelsy and Butch!“
