ABOUT ME

My name is Makena Schaumloeffel and I am a photographer and videographer based in Southern California.

From playing at the colligate level in both indoor and beach volleyball at Ventura College, I learned that participating athletically was not my lifelong passion, but capturing the sports I love was.

After retiring from college athletics, I started to make sports photography more of a priority. Investing in myself and my mission of spotlighting athletes, teams, and programs to help grow the sports community. It’s not just about getting the perfect shot, but about making the moment last to share with others.

I currently work for LAVA and SMBC North Volleyball Clubs as their social media manager, while also pressuring my work here under MSL Media.
