Your story deserves to be documented with intention and beauty.

Whether you're capturing the joyful chaos of family life, celebrating connection with your person, or honoring a milestone like senior year, these sessions are crafted to reflect you—authentically, artistically, and with heart.

These portraits are for those who value emotion over perfection, connection over poses, and timeless images that feel like memories already in motion.

What makes my portrait sessions different?

These aren’t just photos. They’re a space to slow down, breathe together, and be seen. I bring gentle guidance and an artist’s eye to each frame, so you walk away with images that feel like your real life—just a little more cinematic.

Whether we’re chasing the light, wrangling wild toddlers, or pausing for a quiet breath, I’m with you the whole way.

“Kayla is amazing! She recently did extended family photos for us when we were visiting Chelan for my dad's 75th birthday. She did a fantastic job capturing all of us at our best. Truly gorgeous photos, and she was so sweet and accommodating to work with. Would highly recommend!”
