30A Family Photographer

Personal • Stress-free • True to you

Real moments make the best memories.

I love photographing families as they connect, love on each other, and explore the world with their littles. The best moments are where the kids are playing in the water, running in circles with each other, getting thrown in the air by Dad, and giving Mom the biggest hugs.

When it comes to family sessions, it's important to go with the flow and let the children lead the session. We will get more authentic moments captured and they will most likely be happier for longer when we are going at their pace. Instead of focusing on the perfect photo, focus on letting your kids’ personalities shine. They’ll never be this age again and having photos that represent who they are at this age will be cherished more than that perfect photo.

So, if you’re wanting more than just the “all looking at the camera and smiling” photos, let’s make some memories together! Whether it’s in a location that means something to you or incorporating something that you love to do together, let’s make it feel like you!

We’ve used Kayla for years now, since our wedding, and wouldn’t go to another photographer on the emerald coast! She is so easy to work with, makes everyone feel comfortable with getting their pictures taken and has that eye for the incredible shot!! If you’re looking for the best, Kayla is for you! - DIANA

HEY, I’M KAYLA.

As a mom myself, I know how challenging it can be to get kids to look at the camera for just one “good photo”. But the most meaningful images often happen in the in-between moments. Many parents are surprised when their gallery arrives and it’s full of sweet, genuine moments they didn’t even realize were happening. Trust me, all it takes is a split second to capture something truly special.

Remember. The days are long, but the years are short.

Kayla is amazing. So incredibly talented, has an eye for exactly where and when to shoot, and really knows how to make two first timers feel so natural and comfortable. Most of our shoot, we truly had no idea she was around. We love our photos in Watercolor, and would absolutely want to continue working with her throughout every special moment in our lives!

Kayla is fantastic! From start to finish the process was clearly communicated and professional. She has a great photographic style and made me and my family (including 2 year old) comfortable during our session in Watercolor. My advice is to go into your session freely and without an agenda, let her expertise and skill guide capture the best candid moments!

…Kayla provided a very calming atmosphere by playing soft music during the entirety of the shoot. The most profound thing that stood out to me was Kayla's ability to just talk to my children and get them to participate in a way that was natural and unforced. The photos Kayla captured of our family were so organic. She didn't just take pictures, she truly captured moments in time of our family, on our farm, living life as we normally would. I highly recommend Kayla for any photos you may need, especially if you are looking for more than your traditional forced, posed, rigid photos.
