Hi, I’m McKenzie Franks, the heart behind The Oak Bee and mama to two sweet kiddos, Oakley and Beckett. As a mom, I know how important it is to find clothes that are not only adorable but also comfortable, practical, and made to last through every jump, spill, and giggle.

The Oak Bee was born out of my love for southern style, smocked traditions, and creating custom looks that make little personalities shine. Every order means the world to me — I truly do a happy dance each time a new package is headed out the door!

When I’m not running the boutique, you can usually find me cheering on my kids, chasing after our four dogs, or dreaming up new designs with a coffee in hand. Thank you for being here and for letting me share a little piece of our family with yours.

Our boutique specializes in smocked + embroidered heirloom pieces, southern-inspired boys’ apparel, and custom made-to-order tees that let every child’s personality shine.

From playful seasonal outfits to personalized everyday staples, we’re here to help parents dress their little ones in styles that feel classic, comfortable, and full of southern charm. Each collection is carefully curated to bring together tradition, quality, and just the right amount of fun.

Whether you’re shopping for game day, a holiday, or simply a Tuesday afternoon adventure, The Oak Bee makes it easy to find pieces that will be cherished today and remembered tomorrow.
