Hi, I'm Kayla
Timeless wedding photography serving Northern Michigan and beyond
I'm inspired by the rhythm of life in Northern Michigan: water, changing light, and the stunning landscapes. Music is a constant in my world and often sets the emotional tone for how I see and feel a moment, shaping the way I approach storytelling. Travel keeps me curious, always noticing new places, textures, and meeting others and hearing their stories. At home, my inspiration is simpler: slow mornings with coffee, time in the garden, and being outside with my family. All of it shapes how I see the world.
Rooted in honest, emotive storytelling, focused on real connection over perfection.
I have always had a passion for taking photographs. Knowing this yet having zero experience with weddings, a family member reached out to me to photograph her wedding day and I anxiously accepted the offer. That day, 14 years ago, was the start of my photography career. Since then I have had the honor of photographing so many incredible weddings and witnessing so many once in a lifetime moments that I am forever grateful for.
My approach is capturing weddings and portraits in a way that feels natural, nostalgic and deeply personal, preserving not just how the moments looked, but how they felt. With a strong sense of ease, my clients are gently guided, but never over-directed, allowing genuine emotion and the in between moments to unfold naturally.
