hey! i’m kayla!

it’s me, hi!

As a 2x cancer survivor, my life has been full of love, loss, change and new paths. Because of my experiences, I understand how short and precious life can be, and that capturing authentic moments between people is everything. I am here to document your life, your love, and your creations. I'll add my own bits of magic and what you get back will be a gathered collection of moments that are authentically you.

With a background in fine art, my early career began with film photography. I discovered graphic and web design in university and thought it was pretty awesome. It can be scary to hand over the reins to someone else…but allowing me to document your silly, lovable and dynamic self is my thing!

I am delighted to share our experience working with Kayla on creating our Stillness Speaks Shopify store. Her creativity brought our vision to life, while her patience and knowledge ensured a smooth and insightful process. She was always there to help, making the journey enjoyable and the outcome exceptional. Highly recommend her for anyone seeking a dedicated and talented Shopify developer. Thank you again Kayla. We are so happy with our site and knowing you are always there to help makes it so much more comfortable with owning our first ecommerce store.

Kayla is an incredible photographer with a talented eye to capture little and big moments. She made our family so comfortable and worked closely with us to get all the shots and combinations we wanted. She was patient and engaging with our 3-year-old. We will definitely be using her for our family photos again soon!

Kayla did our engagement photos and they were everything I had envisioned and more. The work she did before the session in finding us the perfect locations for the romantic vibe we were going for and then how comfortable she made us feel during our session was beyond expectations 🙂 Kayla is amazing at what she does and our photos make me smile every time I look at them (especially the ones with our dog in them)!!

I had the pleasure of doing a photoshoot with kayla. She made me feel comfortable in front of the camera and helped me with casual poses which I very much needed haha. Her vibe is so chill and fun which is exactly the energy I need when doing photos. It felt like we had been friends forever. I would no doubt book another photoshoot with her.

One of the BEST photography experiences of my life - Kayla has a gift for turning a vision into an even better reality than you could have wished for!

Working with Kayla was an enjoyable and productive experience that yielded results which I'm very happy with even months after! She was full of ideas while also listening to what I wanted the impression of the photos to be without ever making me feel like I was asking for too much or too little. I definitely will be coming back to her for her photography and branding skills. Whether a personal photo or a brand one, Kayla is your master of lenses.
