why work with me?
about kayla
Your photographs are about so much more than a share on social media — they're investments in your family's story.
Marrying my husband Stephen back in 2019 completely changed the way that I approach storytelling today. When I look at the teary-eyed photos taken when he proposed, or a candid of our parents laughing together during our wedding reception, all I see is how cherished they’ll be when we flip through our albums thirty years from now. This is why I've spent years cultivating a timeless, romantic style that steers clear of trends. Your photos will feel the same way when you're looking at them with your grandchildren as they did when you saw them for the very first time.
There is a reason that I stay
in my clients lives long after our time together is over.
My husband and I have regular dinner plans with Stef and Jeff, we refer to Sandra and Corey's dog Jasper as our dogs "boyfriend," and I've now been photographing Makarena and Adam's growing family for five years running. My approach to photographing people is centred around building relationships full of comfort and trust so that I can capture work that is an honest reflection of who you are at your core. If we leave our time together feeling like we've gained a true friendship, I've done my job well.

My daughter means the world to me. Any bride is lucky to have Kayla!
When your daughter says to you the day after her wedding "Kayla made me feel special all day, I'm so glad I got to spend it with her" you know you made the right choice. Well, there was no choice really! Kayla's photos speak for themselves as does her professionalism. It's her lovely, kind personality that sets her apart. She's amazing!

Almost all of my daily down-time is spent in the kitchen. I've dedicated countless hours to perfecting my gourmet pizza recipe and it's now a weekly staple in our home! Let me know where you land within the pineapple-on-pizza debate in your inquiry!

My husband and I both love to spend our off-time travelling as much as we can. I even recently started a digital print shop that features photographs from all over the world!

Stephen and I spent our honeymoon camping throughout Scotland in a rooftop tent on top of a Land Rover Defender 110. We loved the experience so much that we bought one for home and frequently make trips throughout Northern Ontario with it!

We have two high energy dogs who are constantly keeping us on our toes! Ollie is an Australian Shepherd. Gus is a Border Collie, Catahoula, Lab, and Cattle Dog mix.

I am an enneagram 4 with a strong 3 wing, an INTP, and a starry-eyed Libra who can never choose a restaurant. My love language is words of affirmation, so consider yourself warned that I will cry during your wedding speeches.

At the beginning of 2021, Stephen accepted a brand new job in Huntsville, Ontario and we packed up our whole life to move to a 10 acre property in the forest! Calling Muskoka home was an unexpected dream come true for us.
