You know what’s wild? When you feel confident in putting all your trust in your photographer, you can forget all about the to-dos and the timelines and just have the best. damn. time with your love and all your favorite people.
I looooove when my couples sort of … forget I’m there and just do their thing. I’ll always be nearby bottling up all that goodness for you, giving essential guidance when it’s needed, hyping you up always.
I can’t wait to show you just how gorgeous you two are together.

“Reach out to Kayla and trust her. Thank me later!”
When I say I’m here to support and celebrate the wedding you want, I mean it. When we work together, I listen to what you envision, what’s important to you and what’s not.
You can see all that genuine connection in your photos because I know your priorities like I know my own camera.
Every snap of my camera is made with intention and focused on your story.

“Kayla took the time to really get to know Us!"
“Kayla took the time to really get to know my husband and I and made us feel comfortable and confident. She really is a full service photographer. My veil needed to be put in … Kayla helped me. My bustle needed to be done ... Kayla helped me. She’s amazing!”
03. Get vibey
Let yourself dream — what do you want your photo session to look like, feel like? I’ll do everything to make it happen. For engagement + couple sessions, that means location scouting, wardrobe consults, and session planning. For weddings, you can expect photo timelines, vendor recs, resource guides and more.
04. The day is here
You’re excited, I’m excited, we’re all excited! I’m an expert at reading the vibes to give you the support you need, whether that’s hanging back to let the emotions flow or using my outside voice to wrangle all your relatives. Whatever you need, I’ve got you. You two just focus on what matters most (that’d be all that love and the people you’re celebrating with).
05. Memory delivery
After your session, I turn my attention to your images. I edit with thoughtfulness and expertise to genuinely tell the story of your day. These are keep forever and ever sorts of photos, so you can trust in me to deliver images that’ll blow you away. For couples sessions, photos will be delivered within 3 weeks; for weddings, 8–12 weeks.
Live your wedding day with your heart wide open. Your photos are there to bottle up all those emotions and preserve them for all the years to come. All the big moments, meaningful details, candid emotions, and celebration popping off around you. It’s all captured in real time to tell the story of this one incredible day.
Think of your couples session like the best date night … with your camera-toting bestie along for the fun. We’ll create a laid back atmosphere focused on who you two are as a couple. Plus, it’s a fantastic way to get comfortable with the camera and learn just how easy and fun photos can be!
Absolutely, I love to travel! Tell me when & I'm there!
Unfortunately, the weather is something that none of us control! I always monitor the radar, and sometimes I like to hold off on rescheduling until the end of day. There have been a few times where I’ve waited out the small storm and had beautiful skies and fewer crowds at our location!
I’m awkward too! Most of us are, especially when someone has a very large intimidating camera pointing at you! Since I know it can be overwhelming in front of the camera, I will make sure the conversation is flowing and it feels like we’re old friends just hanging out. I’ll give prompts to help you feel more comfortable, fix any loose hairs, and you’ll likely hear me say “chin down” a minimum of 5 times!
I will send over a questionnaire one week before our session so I can get to know you better! This makes it easier for me to keep the conversation going by talking about things I already know about you! I also have a styling guide that I’ll send over before our session, so you’ll look and feel your absolute best!
My goal is to help you see how beautiful you already are! I am happy to offer light retouching (removing a stray hair, blemish, etc.), but I will never alter the size or shape of your body. You are perfect exactly as you are!
It depends on the session time! If you have an hour session, you’ll likely end up with 45+ images. If you have a two-hour session, you’re looking at 75+ images.
My turnaround time has a lot to do with what season we are in. A good rule of thumb is 2-3 weeks after your session date! The turnaround time for weddings is between 8-12 weeks.
“Our dance floor was popping off because Kayla not only captured the fun memories but joined in dancing with us.”
