Hey there!


If you’re running an online shop or selling on platforms like Amazon, you know how important great photos are. A well-shot image can make a huge difference in getting your products noticed and, most importantly, SOLD. That’s exactly where we come in!


At Makana Photography, I'm all about helping your products stand out with professional, eye-catching photos. Based in Pinehurst, NC, right in the heart of Moore County, I have been serving local businesses and online sellers all across the area, from Pinehurst to Carthage, and even larger cities like Raleigh, Cary, Sanford, and Fayetteville woth my product photography services for close to ten years.


I know how much work goes into running a business, and I want to make your life a little easier by providing top-quality product photography that highlights your items in the best possible way.

Why Great Product Photography Matters


Let’s face it: when it comes to e-commerce, your customers can’t hold your product or try it on in person. So, the next best thing? Awesome, high-quality photos that show your products in their full glory. Whether you're selling on your website or updating your Amazon listings, the right photos make all the difference.


Here’s why:


  • Boost Sales: Studies show that high-quality product images can significantly increase your sales. People are more likely to click "Add to Cart" when they can clearly see what they’re getting.

  • Build Trust: Professional photos create a feeling of reliability and quality, giving your customers confidence in your brand.

  • Stand Out from the Crowd: There’s a lot of competition online, and in a world of endless scrolling, you need photos that stop people in their tracks. We’re here to make that happen!
