Exploring Nature & New Places

1000 Acres Park: A Photo Session with Lindsay Baca

The talented Lindsay Baca photographed Ozy (and her dog, Louie) having an absolute blast this past fall at 1000 Acres Dog Park just 20 minutes east of Portland. The river was shallow and made for the perfect setting for Lindsay’s trademark running in water action style.

No Ropes Portland: A Hike with Boo & Yaya

Author and dog photographer Andrew Knapp stopped by Angel’s Rest with his two dogs, Boo and Yaya, to go on a hike with fans of his Find Momo books. Ozy had a great time getting to adventure with these published-book stars!

About Me

Hello, my name is ZieBee (short for Mackenzie B.Bakewell) and I am a multimedia artist, author, and founder of ZieBee Media. My work is inspired by exploring the world, camera and sketchbook in hand, capturing the animals seen and adventures had. I take my traveler’s eye for seeing the world with an open mind and apply it to bringing your story to life. Original illustration, digital design, print and digital publishing, and an engaging user experience are all integral to my creative process. 

My passion for publishing has inspired the ZieBee Media Coloring Book product line, which is a tool I’ve created for people of all ages to tap into the many benefits of making art in their everyday lives. 

I love making things that will bring joy into people’s lives, and helping you make your book, brand, or blog a reality is one of the best parts of the work that I do.
