The Girl Behind the lens

like Kayla

I love beautiful things. The dress you've been dreaming about. A candlelit dinner under the stars. An incredible venue somewhere you never want to leave. The flowers, the fashion, the champagne, the tiny details you spent months choosing.

But I don't think any of that means your wedding has to feel like a production.

You shouldn't have to choose between a celebration that's refined and beautiful and one where you actually get to kick off your shoes, laugh too loud, stay at dinner too long, jump in the ocean, or disappear for ten minutes with your new husband just to take it all in.

You get to have both.

That's the kind of luxury I love—the kind you actually get to experience.

For the last several years, I've photographed weddings with that philosophy at the center of everything I do. I'll step in when you need direction, help you feel comfortable when the camera comes out, and then happily get out of the way when the good stuff starts happening.

Because years from now, I don't just want you to remember how beautiful everything looked.

I want you to remember how much fun you had living it!

Beautiful photographs are important.

HI, I'M KAILAH

A little about me

Feeling like yourself in them matters more!

Photographs have a way of bringing you back to the exact moment - the people, the place, the way it all felt. That's what I'm here to document. Real moments, genuine connection, and the in-between that often means the most

i've always cared more about

how it felt.

Some moments need direction. Some need absolutely nothing from me. Knowing the difference is part of the job.

guidance when you need it

Space when you don't.

what it's like to have me there

01

I'll read the room

You don't need to know how to pose or what to do with your hands. That's my department.

02

I'll make it easy

Photography shouldn't be the main event. Your people are waiting. Go have fun. I'll pay attention.

03

I'll let you live it

Good dinners should last too long. Beautiful places are meant to be experienced.
The people matter more than the timeline. 
Photographs should take you back to something you actually lived.
Beautifully. Intentionally. Fully. 

More noticing it

less rushing through life.

You know you made a good decision when your friends and family make comments about how great your photographer is. The day of experience was amazing, and now we have amazing pictures to cherish forever!

I can't say enough about how much I love our photos. I'm in tears. Kailah made the whole experience so fun and easy going. We were a little worried it would be so weird and blah, but she was amazing! I cannot thank her enough, and I am so glad I found her. Definitely will have to book another session!

Kailah is very personable yet professional! She knows what she’s doing when it comes to posing, lighting and editing I would recommend her to anyone! She has done my wedding and family pictures!
