Michigan modern portrait & wedding photographer 🤍

From brand photography, wedding days, and simple sweet family sessions.

My process doesn’t really change all that much… 🤍

My job isn’t to force a moment.

It’s to bring the kind of energy that helps you feel at ease, have fun, and forget you’re in front of a camera in the first place.

Because the best photos come from feeling comfortable enough to laugh, cry, celebrate, hug a little longer and be so so present.

Whether I’m documenting your business, your wedding day, or a quiet evening with your family, that’s what I’m chasing every single time.

And getting to be invited into so many different chapters of your lives?!?! That’s something I’ll never stop being grateful for. 🫶🏻

Thank you for trusting me with your stories. It really is one of the greatest honors of my job. 🤍

One of my biggest lessons in photography for 2026 is to keep watching and keep shooting *after* the moment happens, after the pose. Because usually after a bride smiles for a photo with grandma and grandpa, her grandpa will look at her and tell her how beautiful she is and kiss her on her hand. That is the real photo.

Lingering in a moment, accepting the pause (not easy for me, I like to fill empty space and silence with the next idea) but as I learn to slow down and just watch and wait, I witness so many more special moments.

When a little one is done posing and able to be themselves.
When the crowd is moving from ceremony to cocktail hour and wiping away the beautiful ceremony tears.
When you take a little dance break in your brand session.
When the wind gets a chance to talk.

Those are moments I look for as your photographer 🫶🏻

SWIPE to see all of the events I’ve captured for over the last year.

One of my favorite things about working with businesses is getting to tell the story as it unfolds.

I’ve photographed brand activations, community events, workshops, seasonal launches, client celebrations, and more. Individually, they’re just events. Together, they become the story of your brand.

When you consistently have a photographer documenting your business, you’re building a library of content that keeps your marketing fresh, shows the real experience people can expect, and creates trust long before someone ever walks through your doors.

People don’t just buy what you do.. they buy into your community.

Don’t wait until you “need a few photos.” Document your business as it’s growing. Those ordinary moments become the ones you’ll be so glad you captured.

What an honor it’s been to document so many incredible moments for this studio. 🤍

Brand Content Experience

Perfect for solopreneurs who need a fresh library of content without a full-day production.

This session includes, 1 hour of shooting, brand focused session planning, guided posing and direction, multiple looks/set ups, 60+ professionally edited images, short vertical iPhone clips optimized for social content.

This particular session was for business owner Ramsie, of while we planned our her session we discussed the importance of models using her products and featuring certain inventory and her personal favorites. We worked together to source the perfect models for this shoot and began planning out the photos needed to bring visibility to her brand.

Session day felt like a calm, elevated and easy experience. We featured Ramsie as the business owner with several unique solo shots, captured models using different crucial products, styled product photos and community elements for her brand.

Forever a favorite! So grateful trusted me with her professional content 🫶🏻

If you’re interested in a brand content session for your business, I’d love to chat! 🤍

If we haven’t met, I’m Kayla! I photograph weddings, families and Michigan businesses.

You can also catch me photographing church service and singing worship on some Sundays. 🤍

I am so grateful for this gift, the clients I get to serve, for this career, and for a God who continues to guide me through it. 🤸🏻

Just over here creating gorgeous content for business owners. Helping you tell the story. Share your passion.

I approach brand sessions with a story telling mindset. Bridging the gap between the typical website photos and content that helps your clients understand your heart.

This session was something special 🤍

If your job or paycheck requires you to build relationships with clients, to market yourself, to sell..

This is your sign to go a little bit deeper than your corporate headshot. To work with a professional and create a personable, fun, investment in photos. To add the outfit change in.

Simple little details, like having a laptop or adding glasses for a few shots can really help you shape the story you need to build relationships and make new connections with clients, businesses and others.

If you know you need new photos, a new headshot or some detail shots for your business, I’d love to help you.
