A Goodbye to Wedding Photography

I first fell in love with photography as a child, when my grandfather would hand me disposable cameras. I loved the feeling of capturing little moments, of making albums and scrapbooks, of preserving memories. That love only grew—with my first digital camera in 2012, with documenting our travels as a young military family, with the joy of creating something that lasted.

When I discovered weddings, something clicked. I fell in love with the storytelling, the romance, the timeless beauty of it all. I dreamed of creating images people would hold close for a lifetime. I poured myself into this work, and it became more than a career—it became part of my identity.

But life has not been easy. In 2019, my family experienced a devastating loss that changed everything. In 2022, I moved out of the city i grew to love and lost everything. In 2024, my marriage ended, and I had to rebuild life from the ground up with my daughter by my side. Grief, trauma, and the weight of responsibility have been heavy to carry.

Through all of it, I tried to keep giving my best to photography, to my clients, and to the art I love so much. But behind the beautiful moments I was capturing for others, I was struggling in ways that were invisible.

After years of giving everything I had, I’ve made the incredibly difficult decision to step away from wedding photography. I no longer have the capacity to carry the pressure of this industry while also caring for my mental health and, most importantly, being present for my daughter.

Photography will always be part of me. It has shaped me, saved me, and connected me to so many beautiful souls. But right now, I need to turn my lens toward the people and the healing that matter most.

To my clients: thank you for trusting me with your love stories. Thank you for your patience with your galleries as I push through to the best of my ability to get your images to you as quickly as I can.
To everyone who has supported me: thank you for keeping me inspired.

Life is hard, but love makes it worth it.

With love and gratitude,
Kiara

This was such a sweet day. Christine and Demetri made it official in their kitchen with their closest family and friends, walked to their dinner party reception and ended the night with an ice cream truck. Perfection 🤌🏽❤️

Hello world -

I’ve been pretty absent in this space for awhile and felt the time has come to share a bit of an update on my photo page.

Getting on social media to air out my life is definitely not my fave thing to do, but my work IS personal and vulnerable, and at this point my work and photo business has been affected. The last 6 months (if I’m being honest - the last year and a half) have been incredibly difficult and painful in regards to my home life. To be brief and without going too much into detail, I had to move back home to NY in April and since then I have been working diligently to get back into some sort of stability and routine for my daughter and I. We’re getting there! But its SUCH a process to start life all over again. This separation journey and the grief that comes with it has been anything but simple, but I have sooo much to be grateful for. It has been my most creatively fulfilling year yet, I’ve connected with so many amazing couples, old friends, new friends, crazy cool people in the industry and exciting opportunities. We are held together by our loving community here and they have really uplifted us. We are happy and healthy, It’s just been a bit of an uphill battle to find solid ground ❤️

I really just wanted to get on here and say thank you to all of my absolutely amazing clients, friends and family who have been nothing but loving, supportive and patient during this life transition. Capturing your memories means the world to me. Looking forward to a fresh start and kicking off Kiara Love Photo with a healthy mindset.

If you’re waiting on photos from me, you probs already received a text from me, but they are coming as soon as possible! Thank you thank you for your paitience and love ❤️

A sweet baby-love moment 🕊

If you’re new here, you might not know that I used to be a family portrait photographer for 6 years. Capturing love, connection and kids just being kids is where it all began. This is where I found my joy for photography: slow and easy at-home sessions documenting family cuddles, running wild through a field at sunset, real belly laughs, tickles and nose kisses. Eventually, I found this same joy in weddings.

I came across these frames and realized that it’s been a few YEARS (😮) since I’ve offered family sessions regularly. I really miss it 🤍

All that being said… If you’re in the Philly/NJ area and would like to update your fam photos, I’m your girl ❤️ I’ll be offering 25% off family sessions if you book before March 21st. Xoxo

Atsede + David at “The Farm”.
This was such a fulfilling + heartwarming engagement session. I left with tears in my eyes at how beautiful life can be, and where the universe planted me after so many years of trauma, healing and transformation. I found myself at a cabin in the woods, surrounded by golden trees and open fields and a full moon and pink skies with two absolutely gorgeous humans in love.

Grateful, grateful, grateful for this magic. 🪄🎞
