You’re in good hands.
Portrait & Branding Photographer · Chelan, WA
Behind this lens is someone who genuinely loves making people feel comfortable, seen, and ready to share their story with the world.
What to Expect
You show up.
I’ll handle the rest.
Here's what actually happens: you arrive a little nervous — most people do. We talk for a few minutes, I get you moving, and somewhere in the first fifteen minutes, you forget you're being photographed.
That's what I care most about. Not the perfect pose. The moment you actually relax.
For branding clients, that means images that look and feel like you on your best day — confident, real, nothing like that old headshot you've been avoiding. For families, it means your people laughing, connected, genuinely present.
HI, I’m Kayla
Mom · Jazz Singer · Chelan Local · Weight Lifter · Morning Porch Person
I'm a mom of three wild-hearted boys, a jazz singer, a weight lifter slowly building a gym in my shop one piece at a time, and a fifteen-year Chelan local who genuinely loves this community.
I run my business on the days my kids are with their dad— which means when I'm with you, I'm fully there. And when I'm with them, I'm fully there too. It's a structure I'm proud of.
I know this area the way only time teaches you… the golden hour light off the lake in August, the orchard roads that look incredible at dusk, the spots most people drive right past. That local knowledge is part of what you're hiring.
I handle the location, the direction, the outfit guidance, the session plan. Your only job is to show up.
a few things you’ll find out quickly…
“I know what it feels like to be watched.”
Singing in front of a live audience taught me something I bring into every shoot: nerves are normal, presence is learned, and the right environment makes all the difference. I hardly ever work with models. I shoot people like you— business owners, parents, and real humans who just want to feel comfortable. I get it. And I know how to get you there.
happy clients:
"What I did not expect was the capture of the essence of who I am — my heart, my passions, my character, my world I live in from day to day. I have not only a wonderful selection of photos and videos, but a collection of memories to cherish."
— Teresa, Branding Client
My approach is thoughtful and guided from beginning to end. I help with locations, outfits, creative direction, and natural posing so you never feel like you have to figure it all out on your own.
Ready When You Are
If this feels like a fit, I’d love to hear from you.
I keep my calendar intentional and work with a small number of clients each season. If you're ready to create something that actually feels like you, let's start the conversation.
