Hey, I'm Kayla
Hi, hey, hello!, I’m Kayla (she/her) —
and I’ll probably shed a tear at your ceremony.
I’ve been obsessed with documenting love and life since my dad handed me my first camera as a kid. Now I get to do this for real—turning the blink-and-they’re-gone moments into forever memories.
I’m a big fan of sun-flares, spontaneous laughter, barefoot dancing, and people who feel deeply. When I’m not behind the lens, I’m with my little girls, reading all the books, or rewatching The Office for the 30th time.
More than just your photographer.
I’m your personal hype woman, chaos coordinator, and preserver of the blink-and-you’ll-miss-them moments
Forced smiles and unnatural posing don’t exist here.
Let's create something
This is real life & real love.

Lifestyle
Candid, in-home or outdoor family photography for families across the Lower Mainland. I focus on the real stuff: snuggles, laughter, and everyday chaos you’ll miss one day.

Kayla's photography is nothing short of incredible. She captured our special day with such skill and artistry that we couldn't be happier with the results. Even more impressive, she worked her magic to make my camera-shy husband feel at ease, turning his nerves into genuine comfort in front of the lens. The photos Kayla delivered are breathtaking. Her ability to capture emotions and details is truly remarkable. We will cherish these memories forever.
