But really, my connection to photos started way before that. My great-grandma lived to 100, and I loved visiting her house and pulling out the shoebox full of photos. It’s wild how pieces of paper covered in pixels could spark stories I never would have known. That right there is the best kind of generational wealth.

I think of the power of those photos every time I get to meet a new couple and capture their memories.



I WAS THE WEIRDO FOLLOWING MY SISTER AROUND WITH A CAMCORDER TRYING TO MAKE HER LAUGH—

"You HAVE to book Kayla!!! She shot our wedding 
and we just loved every minute of it! Kayla really 
cared about us and our story and really took the 
time to get to know us and our families.”

My favorite coffee mug says

And whew, if there wasn’t a better way to sum me up. I’m a lot Proverbs 31, a little Tupac. But don’t worry, I’ll never cuss in front of your granddad or your priest. (Because I’m a professional.)

When I go from KAYLA SUSIE PHOTO to just plain Kayla/Mom, you can find me and my husband chasing our wild kids all over Travelers Rest, SC, our home of the last 10+ years. Being a wife and mama to three, including a special needs kiddo, is truly the highlight of my life.

These are a few of my favorite things:

“i love Jesus, but I cuss a little”

The Snapshot

The Snapshot

Happiness is a full belly. Gimme dive bar fries or the fanciest small plates — good food is good food, and I want to try it all.

I adore so much about weddings, but those sweet moments before it all starts when you’re with your people — I love the quiet anticipation.

FOOD HEAVEN

MY FAVE MOMENT

A GOOF AT HEART

So. many. lyrics live rent free in my head. Add in my awkwardly amazing dance moves, and I’m really the total wedding package.

HUMAN JUKEBOX

Life is too precious to take things too seriously. I’ll gladly be a goofball to help you get rid of any photo jitters.

coffee and books

Whenever I get a rare moment to myself, I head straight for a cold brew & a good novel. Mr. Darcy 4eva :) Got any book recs for me?

FAMILY HIKES

We’re surrounded by nature, so you better believe I love to hike with my kids … even if I’m dragging their butts up the mountain.
