POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED

Some stories start with a look.

Hi, I’m McKenzie. 👋🎬📸

I’m 12, Tampa Bay based, and training in on-camera acting, commercials, audition technique, modeling + commercial print.

When I’m not in front of a camera, I’m probably riding horses, playing tennis, somewhere near the water, reading, hanging out with an animal, or making my mom question one of my decisions. 😂

A few things about me:
🐴 Horse girl for 8+ years
🎾 Tennis + swimming
📚 City Spies obsessed
🐶 Foster dog accomplice
🤓 Virtual school + 4.0 GPA
😂 Usually making somebody laugh
🎬 Acting + modeling

Just getting started and having a lot of fun figuring out where this takes me. 💙

I left the house. She had a monologue to practice.

So naturally, she recruited the dog, got him wet, made an actual mess, set up the camera and filmed the whole thing herself. 😂

Apparently we’re method acting now.

The commitment to “I Was Helping” is honestly impressive. 🎬🐶

(No dogs were harmed. One dog was mildly inconvenienced and compensated accordingly. 😂)

One sentence. Seven personalities. This should go well. 😂🎬

Which one do you think is closest to the real me?

Atlanta, we’re coming for you! 🎬📸✈️

Another day, another BOOKED job! 💙

Kenzie is heading to Atlanta next week for a photoshoot, and she’s already counting down the days!

Between auditions, commercial bookings, and now another opportunity in front of the camera, this girl’s calendar is getting busier than mine. 😂

New city, new faces, new experiences, and another chance to do what she loves!

Can’t wait to see the photos from this one! ✨

Stay tuned… this girl is just getting started! 🎥💙

An apology to my on-screen dad is probably overdue. I’d explain why, but that’s confidential for now. 🤐

However, I’d like to remind everyone that my actions were scripted and financially compensated.

I rest my case. ⚖️😂

Can’t wait to share the finished commercial with y’all soon! 🎬✨ taken in New York, N.Y. by @mckenziecarnahan

4 auditions to film this week. 🎬

Am I focused? Absolutely.
Am I taking this seriously? Of course.
Am I also doing whatever THIS is between takes? Unfortunately, yes. 💀😂

The audition grind continues. The chaos is complimentary. ✨

A little throwback to my very FIRST official self-tape audition request! 🎬🥹

Meet Hannah! 💁‍♀️

I didn’t book this one, but I was SO excited to get the opportunity to audition!

Fast-forward to this week, and I’ve got THREE auditions to work on! 🤯

It’s crazy how much I’ve already learned in such a short time. Still figuring things out, still having fun, and definitely still making my mom read lines with me. 😂💙

Walked in with bubble braids and a whole lot of personality. 🫧🎀

Walked out with an agency callback AND an invitation to iPOP! Los Angeles 2027?! 🤯🎬✨

Apparently being a little extra is finally paying off. 😂

LA, I’M COMING FOR YOU!! 🌴⭐

So grateful to @faceforwardactorsmodels , @german_mgmtartists_ , @mgmtartistsla , @courtny_la , @ipop_la for this opportunity. The countdown is officially ON! 💙

Okay, jokes aside for a second… 🥹❤️

@wawa sent my mom a football signed by SAQUON BARKLEY. 🏈🦅

Which is already INSANE.

But here’s what makes it even cooler…

My grandpa played football at Penn State and was part of their 1982 National Championship team. 💙🤍

And @saquon ? ALSO @pennstatefball . 🦁

So this wasn’t just an amazing surprise. It actually has a pretty special family connection, too.

Seriously, Wawa, THANK YOU for such an incredible gift. My mom is still freaking out, and this is definitely something our family will treasure. ❤️

Now, with all that said…

I still have some questions about how my mom became Wawa’s VIP while I’ve been over here putting in YEARS of strawberry banana smoothie research. 🥤😂

🎬 If you haven’t watched THE WAWA SAGA: PART 1, it’s on my page.

Apparently I’m competing with a football for my mother’s affection now. 🏈😭

So apparently my mom got a package from @wawa … 👀📦

We thought it might be a jacket.

IT WAS A FOOTBALL SIGNED BY SAQUON BARKLEY. 🤯🏈

Which is actually INSANE. Thank you, Wawa!! ❤️

But I do have a few questions.

1. How did my mom get on Wawa’s VIP list?
2. Does @saquon Barkley know where my Wawa jacket is?
3. Why does this football already have a better spot in our house than I do?

Anyway, Mom has a new favorite child. It’s a football.

Welcome to THE WAWA SAGA: PART 1 😂🏈

And just like that… THAT’S A WRAP! 🎬🗽

Flew to New York. Filmed my first commercial. Met some pretty awesome people. Tried to act like this was a totally normal Thursday.

Spoiler: IT WAS NOT. 😂

Seriously, what an experience! So grateful to everyone who made today happen and made my first commercial shoot one I’ll never forget.

10/10 would happily get on another plane and do it all again. ✈️❤️

Can’t wait to share it soon…
