Capturing Moments That Matter
Because every athlete deserves to have their legacy documented.
About Mikki
Hi, I'm Mikki McGarry, and I understand what it's like to be in your shoes—literally.
I played football in high school, and when I look back now, I wish I had more photos and videos of myself playing. Those
moments mattered. They
shaped who I am. But they're
mostly just memories now,
not tangible images I can
hold onto or share.
That realization drove me
to pick up a camera—first my
dad's, then eventually my
own. I've been shooting
professionally since 2018, but honestly, I've always had a camera in my hand. There's something about capturing the moment that excites me. The intensity of game day, the pride of a senior portrait, the raw emotion of a championship win—these are the moments that define an athlete's journey.
My mission is simple: make sure you have what I didn't—a visual legacy of your athletic career that you can look back on with pride.

What Drives Me
Excellence in Every Frame
My goal is excellence. I'm always going to go above and beyond to give you the best outcome. Good enough isn't in my vocabulary when it comes to your photos.
Above & Beyond
I'm not going to leave you feeling uncomfortable during our shoot. My approach is professional but fun—you'll feel confident, relaxed, and ready to shine.
Comfortable & Confident
My style is high-energy and cinematic, all while staying raw and authentic. I capture the real you—the intensity, the passion, the moments that matter.
High-Energy & Cinematic
Born in San Diego, California, raised in Charlotte, North Carolina, and now proudly calling the Charleston area home for the past 10 years. I'm married with two amazing kids who keep me busy when I'm not behind the camera.
I'm self-taught, which means
I've learned through thousands
of hours of practice,
experimentation, and refusing
to settle for anything less than
exceptional. I shoot with Sony
because it gives me the speed,
clarity, and reliability I need to
capture those split-second
moments that define a game.
When I'm not shooting, I'm still connected to sports—whether it's watching games, or just appreciating the dedication it takes to be an athlete. I get it, because I've lived it.
