I’m over the moon about capturing your story! The intimate moments you share, the little quirks that make you fall even more in love, and all the emotions in between. My passion is to document your day in a way that feels effortless, deeply authentic, and so true to you. There’s so much beauty in the small, intentional moments, the ones that may seem ordinary but are actually the ones you’ll cherish the most. The way your hands naturally find each other, the quiet glances, the laughter that comes so easily. Those are the moments that tell your love story best and I can’t wait to capture them all.

effortless and authentic
"Kayla did our one year anniversary photos and we had SOOO much fun! When we got the photos back, we were seriously floored at how perfect each photo was. Not that ‘pose and smile at the camera’ type of perfect, but perfect in the way that she captured those little in-between moments. Those moments where we were laughing our heads off, running around with crazy wind swept hair, she truly captured us, our REAL love, and our personalities in each photo. I honestly couldn’t thank her enough for giving us such gorgeous and meaningful photos to look back on. I’m seriously printing and hanging them up all over my house!!"
"Kayla kept in contact with me leading up to the big day to prep for all expectations (I live in AZ & the wedding was in OR). The day of was the first time meeting Kayla and she was full of energy and took the lead by guiding the girls / making us comfortable behind the camera. I for one, am awkward behind a camera, but she was the perfect balance of being there, but making it feel natural because she was so good at just fitting in the moment. She worked hand in hand with my videographer and jumped back and forth between mine and the groom’s cottage we were getting ready in so she didn’t miss a moment. She took the most amazing first look pictures, family pictures, and venue pictures. I can honestly say she checked off every one of my “wedding must-have photos.” Our sunset photos she took were some of my favorites and the lightning was beyond beautiful. She provided me with a sneak peak of photos the same week of the wedding and I had all the rest so soon after. Her turn around time was amazing and truly a reflection of her hard work and dedication. To say she met my expectations is an understatement! She’s the best."
"My husband, who typically dreads having his photo taken, said that Kayla was the only photographer who made him feel comfortable and confident! I knew right then that we had to hire her, and man did she deliver. She helped the day run so smoothly, and the pictures she gave us are truly just art. Every time I go through our library I find new favorites, and I just feel so grateful. Kayla isn't just a photographer, by the end of the day, she feels like family! I can't recommend Kayla's work enough, and I can't wait to hire her again."
"I spent a few days obsessing over her photos on Instagram, hoping that she would be available to do ours when the time came. Not only was she extremely responsive during the entire process - before, during, and after taking the pictures - but she also really listened to us and it was obvious that she truly cared about us. She was able to take the most breathtaking photos and made sure we had many to choose from. Our family and friends are absolutely OBSESSED!!! She’s also VERY good at capturing different skin tones if anyone is worried about that! I know some photographers don’t know how to do that, and that was a concern of mine, since my fiancé and I are two different skin tones. Overall, I was so so so happy Kayla was able to take our photos and I can’t wait to have another big event where she can take pictures for us again! She is truly such great energy and a genuine soul! Happy to have met her :) "
There is no denying how incredibly talented Kayla is behind a camera but she also has a way of making you feel so comfortable and absolutely beautiful during the shoots. She is funny, personable, and hard working. Even though Kayla lives in OR and we are in AZ, we will continue to book her for our family milestones. She truly is the best and her pictures are something we will cherish forever.
There’s something so magical about bringing memories to life, the kind that make you laugh, cry, and feel all the nostalgia in the best way. That’s why I’m all about embracing, cherishing, and celebrating every wild, crazy-in-love moment with you. So HECK YES to all the real, raw, and joy-filled feels. Your favorite third wheel is ready to capture it all!
