Boston and Nashville Fashion Photographer
Intentional, editorial fashion photography for your first model portfolio, your next brand campaign, or your “time for fresh digitals” era.
Building your brand is hard, but getting photos that represent it shouldn’t be.
Whether you’re a model getting ready to submit to agencies for the first time or a clothing designer who’s ready to share your collection, you deserve photos that make you think, “This is exactly how I want to be seen.”
The good news? You don’t have to figure it all out on your own! As a Nashville fashion photographer, I’ve helped people step in front of the camera even when they weren’t feeling totally ready. We’ll talk through your ideas, make a plan, and create photos you’re excited to share—and I’ll be cheering you on along the way!
Nashville Fashion Photography for Models and Brands
Maybe you’re getting ready to approach agencies, and you’re on the hunt for a model portfolio photographer. Maybe you’ve spent months getting your collection just right and need photos that capture every single detail. Or maybe your portfolio is just ready for something a little different.
Whatever brought you here, I can help you make it happen! My approach to fashion photography leaves room to get creative, have lots of fun, and make something you’re excited to put out into the world.
Take a peek at my fashion photography portfolio to see what that can look like!
Model Portfolio Photography and Digitals That Feel Like You
Your photos should represent YOU—who you are now, and the work you want to do next. That might mean adding a new look to your book, getting comfortable in front of the camera, or updating the digitals you’ve been meaning to take for… a while. ;)
We’ll start with what you need, then plan the right shoot to get you there.
MODEL TEST SHOOTS + PORTFOLIO SESSIONS
Building your first book? I got you!
You don’t have to show up already knowing exactly what to do. As your model portfolio photographer, I’ll help you work through poses, expressions, and movement so you can spend less time wondering whether you’re doing it “right” and more time experimenting (and having fun!).
If you’ve been modeling for a while, let’s talk about what your portfolio is missing. A different mood? More movement? Something that shows a side of you your current photos don’t capture? We can build a session around that.
For a little inspiration, check out Skylar’s fall fashion photoshoot in Nashville. If you’re wondering what happens before shoot day, my guide to preparing for a model test shoot is a great place to start.
Starting at $750 for 3 looks
MODEL DIGITALS
If you’re looking to book model digitals in Nashville, send me any requirements from your agency or the agencies you’re submitting to. We’ll use those to guide the session, including the outfits and views they’ve requested.
And never fear, I’ll still help direct you! Simple photos don’t mean you’re suddenly supposed to know exactly what to do with your arms. :)
Starting at $450
Fashion Photography in Nashville for Brands and Designers
You’ve thought about the fabric, the fit, and approximately a thousand other tiny details. Your photos deserve that same attention!
My fashion photography for brands starts with understanding what you’re creating and how you want people to experience it. From introducing a new collection to showing off the details that make someone hit “add to cart,” we’ll plan your shoot around what you’re hoping your photos will accomplish!
Tell me what you’re working toward. We’ll talk through the images you need and the creative direction that makes sense for your project.
Campaign and Lookbook Photography
Bring me your inspo, your Pinterest boards, and that idea you can’t stop thinking about—let’s obsess over it all together!
We’ll talk through your references, priorities, and shot list, along with the location and team your shoot will need. Whether you have a detailed creative brief or an idea you’re still figuring out how to explain, that conversation is where we start.

E-commerce Fashion Photography
Your customers can’t reach through the screen and try something on (unfortunately), so your photos have some work to do.
E-commerce fashion photography helps show how your clothing looks on a person, with attention to fit, shape, and the details someone wants to see before buying. We’ll discuss the pieces you’re photographing, the views you need, and where the finished images will appear so we can plan a consistent approach.
Launching your first collection or updating your online store? Tell me about your project, including what you’re selling and what you need photographed, and we’ll work some magic together.

HI! I’M KAYLA—FASHION PHOTOGRAPHER, ICED COFFEE ADDICT, AND CREATIVE MAGIC-MAKER.
I’ve been in love with fashion photography ever since I assisted at a New York Models model camp when I was 16 old—and now, at 25, I’ve been helping models build their books for nearly ten years, working with agencies and magazines across the East Coast. You can often find me bolting out of bed to jot down a new photoshoot concept at midnight, spending way too much time on Pinterest, and yelling “slay diva” from behind the camera (okay, my Gen Z is showing).
A passion for creativity guides everything I do, and I’m here to help you wherever you are in the photoshoot planning process.
My fashion photography is inspired by…
the feminine gaze
the new england coast
queerness
girlhood
Maybe one more thing lol
