A Little Reintroduction :)
Hi hiiii :)
I haven’t written a blog post in a while… so I figured it was time for a reintroduction, especially if you’re here because you’re thinking about working with me!
I’m Kayla! I’m a portrait photographer based in Boulder, Colorado, and I mainly photograph senior grads, couples, and weddings around Boulder, Colorado.
I loveeeee creating art that feels whimsical and magical. Photos that feel a straight out of a dream, but still feel completely like you!
I’m super inspired by sunshine, gentle breezes, softness, nature, filmy aesthetics, quiet moments, movement, laughter, and lots and lots of human connection.
It’s so healing for me to work with senior grads. I love being able to reflect your beauty back to you during a phase of life where loving yourself can feel so difficult.
I struggled a LOT with self-image in high school and college. Stepping in front of a camera felt like a nightmare!
But as I’ve grown and matured, I’ve learned how to love myself, and how important it is to let ourselves take up space. It’s an honor for me to create a safe container for you to show up and be seen in your full expression.
I want you to look through your gallery years from now and see yourself in a completely new light. I want you to feel proud of yourself, beautiful, powerful, and completely YOU.
MY PROCESS
If we’re shooting together, just know that I will guide you the whole way.
You don’t need to know how to pose, you don’t need to be a model, and you definitely don’t need to know what to do with your hands. That’s my job :)
I’m super inspired by movement, so instead of standing in one spot while I tell you exactly how to pose, I’ll have you walking, spinning, running, dancing, climbing on rocks, playing with your hair, laughing, and doing things that actually feel like you.
I want your senior photography session to feel less like a photoshoot and more like hanging out with a friend who happens to have a camera :)
A few random things about me…
-I've been doing photography professionally for about four years
-I studied Philosophy and English with a Film/TV Studies minor
-I love nature, hiking, lifting, avocado (my soul food), and comfort movies
-Spirituality is really important to me, and I love things like meditation, yoga, journaling, breathwork, and prayer
-A huge part of my own life has been learning how to connect with my body and quiet anxiety, and I think that has really influenced the way I photograph people :)
My biggest priority is always that I want you to feel comfortable enough to be silly, run around, laugh, and show up exactly as you are.
And when you get your gallery, I want you to look through it and think:
“Wait… THAT’S ME?!”
Because you deserve photographs that make you feel something!!!
And you deserve to have proof of this little chapter of your life before it turns into a memory <3
So if you're looking for a Boulder senior photographer who wants to make your senior photos feel whimsical, dreamy, natural, playful, adventurous, and completely YOU…
hi.
I'm Kayla :)
And I would freakin love to photograph you!
