All the details

Regardless of the season that you're in, and whether your babies are big, small or furry, this time in your life deserves to be captured by something other than your iPhone.
I have a very casual approach to family photos and try my best to make this a fun, easy experience for everyone, especially the kids! My goal is to have my clients leave my sessions feeling excited for how much fun they had, rather than how stressful, or exhausting it was. How do I do this? By being patient with the children, and being friendly & playful! I'll match their energy and use that to capture your children's unique personalities!
So let's plan a day, pick a location that is meaningful to you and create some beautiful images that will fill up the frames on your walls for years to come.
Philosophy

I truly believe that details perfectly tie your story together. Whether that be coordinating outfits or the most simple accessories.
Details are everything!
I am a beach bum, through & through! Give me any excuse to spend the day with sand covered toes & waves crashing in the background.
Beach days are the best days!

Kayla is hands down the BEST!!! We had her take maternity/family photos and newborn photos and loved everything she captured! She was so patient and wonderful with our toddler (who, well you know had his toddler moments lol) and knew just what to do with our newborn son. She has an incredible eye and knows just how to capture the perfect moments. I absolutely recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer and can't wait to book another family session with her!"
"She was extremely responsive from our first communication and is the sweetest person you will meet!

I joke with her that she's "bossy" in the best possible way. It's vulnerable to be in front of the camera and she never skips a beat with art direction. Helping you feel super comfortable with direction on how to stand, what to do, where to look, and lots of positive affirmation on how you're doing. It's SO easy and the time just flies when you work with her. I've done both professional branding photos and personal family photos with her. Her easy nature and fun working style came through both times. She's a delight to work with!"
"Kayla is the type of photographer who not only completely gets your vision and has a beautiful eye, but she easily becomes a friend, too.

When you’re looking for a photographer you hope to get someone who’s detailed oriented, patient, knowledgeable, kind and talented. Well, Kayla is all of those things and MORE! She pays attention to the small things you don’t think about...a hair out of place, a shirt tucked in crooked, a shoulder up too high. Which is what I want in a photographer! She is amazing and so so sweet! We just love her and our family pics she took!"

Let me introduce my sweet friends, the Mingledorfs! I met Emily & Russell in 2011 when I first moved to Athens, GA to attend UGA. We have kept up with each other since via social media, so it was SUCH a delight to actually spend some time together and meet these beautiful babies! These guys are the real deal & these boys?! They have the best little personalities ever!!

Let me introduce you to the Howells! This newborn session was so so sweet! Baby Charlie is so loved by his amazing family and it was so much fun to be able to capture that. I photographed the Howells a year or so before this and it is one of my favorite things to photograph families as their children grow up. It is so much fun!

Nothing better than the Kotowski Family!! We met up at the gorgeous Gruene Estate for these maternity photos! Little Cole was a hoot & just the sweetest little boy! He loved watching all the deer & picking up all the sticks & rocks. Celebrating this family & their sweet baby boy on the way was such a joy!

The Schneider family was a treat to photograph! They were visiting family & friends in Atlanta for Thanksgiving and decided to have their annual family photo session done with the beautiful Atlanta skyline in the background! Luckily for us, the sunset did not disappoint!

I don't even know where to begin with this family!! Cassie and I very quickly became best friends after I moved to Charlotte in 2018. She is an incredible videographer so we decided we are creative soulmates. Cassie's family is just as picture perfect as they look! Cassie & Scott have the sweetest girls who are as kind as they are beautiful. I can't tell you how much I love these people and how lucky I feel to have them in my life.
