About 

Hey there, I’m Kayla.

I moved to Portland from New York in 2018, and have been photographing weddings ever since. What started as an inherited camera and a much needed creative outlet turned into a deep passion for capturing love in its truest form.

To me, good photography is seeing deeper. Looking at someone, or something, and saying, “I see you, I feel you, and you deserve to be celebrated just as you are.” At their core, that’s what weddings are, too.

My photography style is documentary, natural, edgy, and fun. My biggest goal is for you, your partner, and your guests to feel comfortable and at ease in front of the camera. Past clients have said I’m non-judgmental, kind, funny, and inspired.

I absolutely love connecting with new couples— feel free to reach out to me about photographing your wedding.

  • My little black cat

    His name is Ever, and he’s pretty much all I talk about. Crazy cat mom life.

  • My favorite camera!

    I love shooting film and incorporating it into my wedding coverage. My favorite camera to use is my medium format Fujifilm GA645zi!

  • Music photography

    One of my favorite things to do is see live music, and occasionally photograph it! Here’s Dazy at Mississippi Studios.

“Kayla was and is an absolute dream to work with. My wife and I couldn’t have been luckier. She goes above and beyond with the photos. Kayla is truly super kind hearted, and made our day as stress free as it could be.”

Lauren & Eddie

“Kayla is an incredibly talented photographer and a phenomenal person. We were instantly at ease working with her due to her experience, calm demeanor, and go-with-the-flow attitude. Kayla was thorough, thoughtful, easy going, funny, kind…everything you want in someone at your side on such an important day.”

To me these photos feel like being a kid, melancholically watching the rain trickle down the back windows of your parents car, imagining yourself in a music video. The blue hour light falling over the road, the streetlights starting to turn on, stayi
