About ShotByMK
Photography isn't just taking pictures. Anyone can buy a camera. Anyone can learn camera settings. But creating an experience where people feel comfortable, confident, celebrated, and genuinely seen—that's where the magic happens.
I'm MK, Founder, Lead Photographer, and Creative Director of ShotByMK, an Atlanta-based photography and videography company serving clients throughout Georgia and beyond. Every ShotByMK experience is built around making our clients feel relaxed, supported, and fully present while we take care of the rest.
For more than a decade, in the city of Atlanta, ShotByMK has helped individuals, couples, businesses, organizations, and brands tell their stories through imagery that feels authentic, intentional, and timeless. What sets ShotByMK apart is our ability to provide a highly personalized client experience while offering the capabilities of a full-service production team.
Whether you're planning an intimate courthouse wedding, a luxury wedding weekend, a multi-day conference, a corporate event, a graduation celebration, a branding campaign, a real estate listing, or a destination experience, we build the right team to fit your vision.
While many clients work directly with MK as their lead photographer and creative partner, ShotByMK also provides additional photographers, videographers, drone operators, content creators, graphic designers, and production support for projects requiring multiple perspectives and comprehensive coverage.
Because at the end of the day, great photography isn't just about beautiful images.
It's about leadership.
It's about organization.
It's about anticipating moments before they happen.
It's about helping a bride stay calm when the timeline shifts.
It's about directing 50 family members into a photo without creating chaos.
It's about noticing the little details others might miss.
It's about preserving the emotions, connections, and moments that tell the complete story.
No matter the project, our mission remains the same: Create imagery that tells your story while delivering an experience you'll remember long after the gallery is delivered.

ATLANTA, GA
Our experience was amazing! MK’s vibe allowed us to relax and be ourselves throughout the shoot. Great music and ambiance! She was very punctual and used all of our time we paid for. We received our photos to review the next day and final edited prints within the same week! I can’t wait to book further sessions!

JOHNS CREEK, GA
"The cherry on top to my surprise engagement was a gathering with all my friends and family. ShotByMK and Deja Kemp so perfectly captured all the joy and emotion in the room. I am looking back over each photo with tears in my eyes. There were times when I felt overwhelmed by the amount of love and people pulling for my attention, but Deja was right there to help guide the group and capture each moment. I am excited to put together my photo album of this day, and will probably use every single photo - there is not one bad picture! Again, thank you MK and Deja!"

"I could not have asked for a better graduation photoshoot experience! From beginning to end MK did an amazing job! I cannot stop smiling when I think back to my photoshoot experience and as I currently review the final product. MK is extremely professional, patient, and is gifted in her attention to detail! I felt extremely comfortable being myself, and I could not have chosen anyone better to document such a major milestone in my life."

"MK is amazing. Baby photoshoot can be difficult, but MICHOLE DID A PHENOMENAL JOB capturing my daughter. She took her time but also ensured all of my props and ideas were used. Her editing skills were top tier. When looking at the raw images they were so beautiful so I knew once she put her final touch on them, they would be amazing. In preparation for the shoot she would text me and do weekly check-ins to ensure I was prepared as well as contribute ideas. Overall, I am 100% satisfied. Thank you Michole for capturing us and sharing your gift."
- VANESSA GILBERT, NORTH DRUID HILLS, GA

Not only was she a big help in bringing my vision to life, but she also helped me execute it on the day of. We had children that were also in the shoot, and she did an excellent job working with them and keeping the environment fun and flowing. The pictures and video was everything!!! Can't wait for our next adventure!"

My press-on nails were falling off, boob tape was very visible, and she did what needed to be done for these pics to give what they needed to give!! On top of that, ShotByMK's customer service is >>>>> and process is EASY! There's no need to hesitate. If you ever need pics done, book with MK!"
