Welcome to Solara Collective!

A Charlotte based Social Media Agency & Photography business (Makenna Captures)

Hello, I’m Makenna, founder and CEO of Solara Collective, and I’m all about blending creativity with strategy. Whether I’m behind the camera or crafting a social media strategy, my goal is to help brands and individuals bring their stories to life in a way that truly connects.

I've always been drawn to connection—whether through the words we write, the visuals we create, or the communities we build. At Solara Collective, we don’t just create content—we build authentic connections. Whether you're a small business looking to grow or an individual wanting to showcase your unique story, I’ll work with you to craft content that feels genuine and true to you.

I started Solara Collective to bring strategy and storytelling together. My mission is simple: to help you tell your story in a way that feels real, relatable, and impactful. I want to help brands, creatives, and businesses not just show up online, but truly engage with their audience. Whether it’s social media strategy, content creation, or photography, my goal is simple: to help you tell your story in a way that feels authentically YOU.
