i love

Photography, for me, isn’t just about pretty pictures—it’s about capturing feeling. The way they look at you when they think no one’s watching. The laughter that makes your stomach hurt. The kind of love that’s wild, messy, and unapologetically you. That’s what I want to give you—photos that aren’t just beautiful but meaningful.

I don’t do stiff poses or copy-paste Pinterest trends. Your love story isn’t one-size-fits-all, and your photos shouldn’t be either. When you look at your gallery, I want you to see yourselves—the real, raw, perfectly imperfect magic that makes your connection yours.

But this is more than just a job for me. I lost both of my parents, and I don’t have many photos with them. That reality shaped the way I see photography—because I know just how precious these moments are. How quickly time slips away. And how important it is to have something to hold onto.

Your love, your story, your moments—they deserve to be captured in a way that feels real.

hello. I'm Kayla

welcome

I’m a triple Sagittarius, so spontaneity, big feelings, and an endless curiosity for the unknown are basically my natural state.

I name my plants (and other random objects) because everything in my world deserves personality and a little love.

My corgis are pure chaos wrapped in fluff, and I wouldn’t trade them for anything.

I love quick getaways to places like Denver or Minneapolis—but I dream in global adventures. Wales, Japan, Spain, and Portugal are on my list.

I’m a proud emo-era millennial with a deep love for mid-2000s angst paired with a playlist full of feeling.

Cooking is one of my favorite ways to connect—with myself, my memories, and the people I love. Bonus points if there's glitter involved.

Nature is my happy place. I’m a little country at heart, and there’s nothing better than being in the mountains picking huckleberries (IYKYK).

I believe in the magic of the universe—astrology, tarot, the mysteries of the stars, deep ocean creatures, and the possibility of things we can't quite explain (yes, including Sasquatch).

My personality is a mix of Peyton Sawyer’s depth, Jenny Humphrey’s evolution, and Lane Kim’s quiet rebellion—with a little sparkle on top.

Most importantly, I want people to know me—not just their photographer. I believe real connection creates the best stories, the best photos, and the best memories.

Your love? It’s not just a story—it’s a once-in-a-lifetime kind of magic. The kind that’s a little messy, completely intoxicating, and so full of emotion it lingers in your chest long after the moment passes. The kind your best friends tease you about because you can’t stop smiling when their name pops up on your phone. The kind you’ll look back on years from now and say, “God, we really lived that.”

I’m not here to capture perfect poses or polished smiles. That’s not what love feels like. I’m here for the in-between moments—the way they pull you closer without thinking, the way your laugh bubbles up and scrunches your nose, the way they look at you like you hung the stars.

Because the stories that stay with us aren’t the ones that looked the best… they’re the ones that felt the deepest. And that’s what I want for you—not just photos to look at, but memories that take you right back to the way your heart beat in that moment.

Your love is untamed, deep, and uniquely yours—it deserves to be captured as real as it feels
