HI THERE, I'M KAYLA

I’m a Youngstown, Ohio-based lifestyle photographer with a heart for capturing some of life’s sweetest, most meaningful moments. I specialize in newborn, maternity, family, and couples photography with an approach that feels natural, relaxed, and true to you.

Outside of photography, I’m a mama to three beautiful kiddos, married to my best friend, and usually happiest spending time with my little family — German Shepherds included. I’m a lover of the outdoors, iced coffee, a good workout, people who make me laugh, and spaces where everyone can simply be themselves.

As a mom myself, I know how quickly these seasons pass.

That’s why I don’t strive for perfectly posed photographs. I want to give you the moments you live and feel every day — even the beautifully imperfect ones.

Maybe your little one insists on bringing their favorite stuffed bunny along. Maybe there’s a special toy tucked into their back pocket. Maybe they’d rather run through the grass, play tag, or have a tickle fight with Mom and Dad than sit still and smile at the camera.

That’s the good stuff.

Those are the little details that make this season yours. And someday, sooner than you think, they won’t need that stuffed animal anymore. They won’t fit quite so perfectly in your arms. The tiny quirks and routines you see every day will slowly change.

But you’ll have the photographs.

Photographs that take you right back to the little hands, the belly laughs, the chaos, the connection, and exactly how this chapter of your family’s story felt.

It would truly be an honor to preserve that for you. ♡

“I highly recommend Kayla for your next photo shoot! We booked her for our maternity photos and we were so impressed! She was so sweet from the very first encounter and helped secure a location that matched my vision! The photo shoot itself was an absolute blast! My husband and I had a great time getting to know Kayla. She made the whole experience completely enjoyable and it made us feel so comfortable in front of the camera. We cannot wait to book her again for future shoots!”
