You deserve to be in the photos. Not just behind the camera, not just cropped out of the frame, actually in them, looking like yourself, feeling good. I'm Kayla, a San Diego photographer and mom of two specializing in families, maternity, and brands who want something real. My sessions are warm, relaxed, and always true to who you are. I'll handle everything so you can just show up and enjoy it! Because the best photos don't happen when you're posing. They happen in between.

KAISU Bakehouse - Branding
"I just want to start off by saying I have never gotten a photoshoot done before and I'm not the most comfortable in front of a camera so I was definitely a little nervous going into the shoot. But Kayla really helped ease my nerves throughout the entire shoot and really helped me relax and loosen up to get the best candid shots! I was really impressed with how quickly she put together a mood board to prepare for the shoot so I could get an idea of how to dress, her photography style and how best to prepare. Kayla was also super patient throughout the entire shoot - listening to feedback and I was amazed at how quickly she noticed my "style" of photos and was quick to make adjustments and make recommendations. Some of my favorite photos that came out of the shoot were some unique suggestions that she had that really made my photos and brand stand out (Rice Krispie in the jean back pocket!). Overall, I was super happy with the whole experience and how the final photos turned out. Kayla was super responsive, easy to work with and really made me feel comfortable through the whole shoot - something I think is super important to really let you shine!"

Studio Maternity Session
"I had a blast shooting. Kayla really stands out with her expertise in lighting and posing. She directed me flawlessly to get a really strong variety of shots to capture this special time in my life. She has a great eye for styling and helped me pick out the perfect looks to capture all the emotions of becoming a new mom! If you're considering doing maternity photos but on the fence like I was, you won't regret the process or product you get with Kayla! Im so glad I trusted her and couldn't be happier with the results."
