Hi there, I’m Kayla! Based out of Nashville, TN – I am passionate about providing artistic imagery that showcases the beauty naturally unfolding in your story. I love nothing more than encouraging others and being able to provide a peaceful and warm presence on a wedding day or during a family session. I first found myself photographing couples, families, and weddings at sixteen. Thirteen years later and this love has only grown. I never imagined I could call this my job. It is a privilege to serve couples and families by preserving their stories.

You’ll never quite be the same person as you were on your wedding day. The days of raising a newborn feel drastically different than the days of raising toddlers. But photos are a tangible way to carry that time with you. As you grow, learn, love, and strive together side-by-side these images are an opportunity to remember, and to pass down heirlooms for generations to come. This is always on the forefront of my mind when I have a camera in hand – and I consider it a privilege to be entrusted to document these precious moments.

My approach in photographing your love is to capture it as it naturally unfolds. While we’ll be sure to take those classic photos and I will guide you, much of our time is spent allowing you to be in the moment without worry of posing for the camera, simply because there is always so much beauty. The final result is a gallery that winds up feeling like an honest representation of who you are together. I’m here to make you feel seen, true to yourself, and celebrated. At the heart of my work, my desire is to best serve you. I would love to get to know you and hear more about your wedding day or family session.

I’m happily married to my best guy, John David, and I’m a mama to the sweetest little boy and twin girls! I’m a firm believer that marriage is one of the sweetest gifts and love cheering others on as they enter into this covenant together. Documenting families and mothers also gained a new significance in my life after the birth of my son in 2021. My faith in Jesus shapes all that I do. In my free time you can find me outside with my kiddos, nose-deep in a book, exploring new places, gathering with friends, or at my favorite local coffee shop.

Kayla is kind, flexible, and so personable. From our first conversation over the phone, I trusted her to capture our wedding day. Not only did she listen well and respect our personal priorities, but she was also consistently helpful and insightful as we brainstormed how to make the best use of limited winter light. Kayla’s communication was always timely and professional, and her warmth and friendly demeanor made my husband and me feel like ourselves in front of the camera. She has our highest recommendation!
