Hi! My name is Mackenzie Rukel, and I’m so glad you made it to my page! Whether you’re interested in booking a photoshoot, getting to know me a little better, or hearing my story, welcome!

My brand is centered on capturing the heart (pulse) behind your sport, celebrating the people you love most, and preserving the memories that mean everything to you, all while helping you feel confident in front of the camera (pose).

You may notice that my page doesn’t look perfectly consistent like some others, and honestly, that’s intentional. I didn’t start Pulse and Pose Photography to fit into one category. I started it because of my love for photography in all forms. Whether it’s sports, seniors, couples, portraits, events, or just-for-fun sessions, I’m here to bring your vision to life.

Growing up as a dancer, I was always the one posing and performing for the camera. Now, I’m the one behind it, creating a space where you can feel comfortable, confident, and fully yourself while making memories that last forever.

So my goal is simple: to capture the real you.
