With me as your engagement photographer, you can expect a laid-back, fun, and personalized experience. My approach is all about capturing the real you — your connection, your laughter, and those spontaneous moments that make your love unique. We’ll take the time to get to know each other, making sure you feel comfortable and relaxed in front of the camera. Whether we’re strolling through a park, exploring a city, or chasing the perfect sunset, I’ll guide you through the session, but mostly, I’ll let you be yourselves. No stiff poses or awkward moments here — just genuine, heartfelt photos that reflect your love story. It’s all about creating memories, not just pictures.
INQUIRE ABOUT YOUR DATE
When it comes to engagement sessions, my approach is all about capturing the authentic connection between you two. I want this session to feel like a fun date, not a photo shoot. It’s your chance to just be yourselves—whether that’s getting cozy in a favorite spot, exploring a new location, or sharing an adventure that’s totally you. My goal is to make you feel comfortable and at ease so you can forget about the camera and focus on each other.
Investing in an engagement session is more than just capturing beautiful photos—it's about getting comfortable in front of the camera, building a connection with me, and creating a space where you can truly be yourselves. It’s a chance for us to get to know each other before the big day, so by the time your wedding rolls around, it feels like hanging out with an old friend. Plus, you’ll have stunning images that showcase your love story before you even say, "I do."
INQUIRE ABOUT YOUR DATE
As we get closer to your engagement session, I’m here to help with whatever you need. Not sure what to wear? I’ll help you pick outfits that feel like you. Need location ideas? I’ll suggest spots that fit your vibe perfectly. Have a fun or unique idea? Let’s make it happen! This session is all about the two of you—your connection, your personalities, your story—and I’ll make sure it’s relaxed, fun, and totally stress-free. By the time we’re done, you’ll have beautiful moments captured and maybe even feel a little more excited for the big day!
This is where I get to know you as a couple, hear your story, and learn all about your vision for your session and answer any questions you might have!

When I tell you that Kayla was our dream wedding photographer I mean I absolutely fell in love with her work first on Pinterest. Her wedding photos looked like they were straight from a magazine and the people didn't look overly posed, but joyful and natural. When I found out she was local to the Washington area I couldn't believe it. When we thought about how we will cherish these photos for the rest of our lives we knew the investment was 100% worth it. My husband and I have been together for many years but never had any professional photos taken. Meeting Kayla for our engagement photos was like meeting up with an old friend. She makes you immediately feel comfortable and makes you forget there is even a camera there.
There are not enough words to describe Kayla’s magic! My husband and I did our engagement pictures with her, and then were sooo beyond lucky to have her shoot our wedding too. Working with Kayla feels like you’re taking pictures with your best friend! She makes every moment feel so comfortable and fun! Not only is she an incredible person, she’s an incredible photographer. She’s captured some of our favorite life moments!
We would recommend Kayla to anyone and everyone!! Kayla is an absolute light!
I strive for a blend of candid, documentary-style images with a touch of natural beauty when it comes to the editing. My goal is to capture genuine moments as they unfold, while also creating beautiful, true-to-life portraits that reflect the real you. I give tons of directions when it comes to formal posing, and making my couples feel comfortable and confident is my number 1 goal.
I’m all about creating a relaxed and fun atmosphere! I like to keep things light and casual, guiding you when needed but also giving you space to just be yourselves. You’ll feel more like you’re hanging out with a friend than posing for a camera!
No worries! I’m used to working in all kinds of weather and have tricks up my sleeve for every scenario. Rain or shine, we’ll make it work—and sometimes those unexpected weather moments make for the most memorable shots!

It’s best to book as soon as you have your wedding date set! My calendar fills up quickly, especially for peak seasons (summer/fall), so securing your date early ensures you don’t miss out!!
