HEY, I’M KAYLA!
I’m a passionate storyteller and photographer in Nashville, TN specializing in creative and editorial portraits, including grad photos, senior photos, branding photos, and more.
EDITORIAL-STYLE PHOTOGRAPHY IN NASHVILLE & NEW ENGLAND
I specialize in creative and editorial portraits that celebrate you, including grad photos, senior photos, branding photos, and more!
While I love documenting the big moments, I’m also a firm believer that you don’t need to have a special occasion to have beautiful photos taken of yourself; the beauty of your daily life and existence deserves documentation.
At the heart of my business is one belief: everyone deserves to feel celebrated and seen through photography.
After calling New England my home base for the first twenty-three years of my life, I recently packed up and moved to Nashville, Tennessee, and now travel between my two favorite places for photography.
MY PASSION IS CAPTURING AUTHENTICITY AND CREATING ART THROUGH PORTRAITURE.
WHILE I HAVE EXPERIENCE IN MANY DIFFERENT KINDS OF PHOTOGRAPHY, PORTRAITS ARE MY FIRST LOVE.
Believe it or not, I didn’t major in photography in college (I know, right?). My degree is actually in English—and that background has made me a better photographer. Let me explain…
As an English major, I am a storyteller at heart, and this is a huge element of my editorial photography style; I want every image I capture to present a story. Whether it’s the story of who you are, how you made it through college, or how you fell in love, I’m going to tell it with my camera.
The ability to storytell is one of the many reasons I love fashion photography and creative portraiture; through styling, makeup, composition, posing, and expression, a photo really is worth a thousand words.
The girl behind the camera:
In addition to taking photos, I also love reading or writing; poetry is one of my favorite outlets for my creativity when I’m not behind the camera. I also read way too many mystery novels, and can often be seen leaving the local library with a stack of books about to fall out of my arms.
In my free time, you can usually find me screaming my head off at a concert, trying a new coffee shop in Nashville, or picking up a book from my favorite bookstore. Wherever I'm going, it's definitely rare to see me out and about anywhere without my camera to document the adventure!
“Kayla was simply a dream to work with!!”
“Aside from being a wonderful human who feels like an instant friend, she’s really talented at her craft. She brings a perfect balance of helping to pose you for photos but letting authenticity shine. Her friendliness and support behind the camera makes it that much easier to feel comfortable in front of it!”
