DOCUMENTARY photography WITH A luxurious TWIST
get to know me better
I'm Cayla, a creative millennial with a sharp eye for detail and a laid-back approach to storytelling.
My specialty? Turning real moments into images that feel as good as they look while making the whole experience fun and stress-free.
But here's the thing: I show up as your friend, not just another vendor. If you’re looking for someone to pose you, tell you to smile, and send you on your way, I’m probably not your girl. I believe your story deserves to be told with intention. That’s why I pour my heart into every single shot, ensuring your photos feel just as true and comfortable as the day itself.
holding SPACE FOR YOU TO SHOW UP AS YOURSELF, WHILE DOCUMENTING YOUR STORY IN A WAY THAT FEELS MEANINGFUL AND TRUE TO YOU.

HIGHLIGHTING THE real, unposed MEMORIES. TELLING YOUR STORY WITH heart AND intention
explore the experience
The key to creating photos that truly feel like you is understanding who you are. That’s why getting to know you is my top priority. You can probably count on grabbing a coffee (or cocktail, no judgment) before your session. Why? Because knowing all the details helps me tell your story the way it’s meant to be told: real, raw, and all you.
YOUR STORY ISN'T ORDINARY OR COOKIE-CUTTER, SO YOUR PHOTOS SHOULDN'T BE EITHER.
THIS IS not YOUR AVERAGE PHOTOGRAPHY EXPERIENCE
let's do this together
Personally, flipping through old photos (especially printed ones) is one of my favorite things to do with friends and family. Whether it's sipping wine, laughing over good times, or getting a little teary-eyed over photos of people we've lost, it always reminds me that one day, photos will be all we have left. That’s why I do what I do: to make sure those memories stay alive.
They’re not just pictures — they’re pieces of your life.
YOUR PHOTOS ARE little treasures THAT HOLD YOUR biggest memories

My husband and I had our elopement photoshoot done by Cayla and she was absolutely phenomenal. Her communication was prompt and she was extremely easy going. She went out of her way to meet me at the site a week prior to look around the location for good photo spots. The day of the event, she made us both feel relaxed and comfortable resulting in amazing photos that really captured who we are. Highly recommend.
"SHE WAS ABSOLUTELY phenomenal."

I HATE getting my picture taken but my husband LOVES photos so for his birthday I agreed to do a couples session with Cayla. She was INCREDIBLE. She made us both feel so comfortable and at ease. She had us laughing and she captured us so naturally and candidly. The locations she chose were stunning. We love our pictures so much and it was such a fun memory. I would definitely recommend her to anyone who wants a fun, casual, comfortable and beautiful photo experience. Amazing!!
"WOW—I CAN'T recommend CAYLA enough."
Makayla + Devin
We chose Cayla for her laid back style and ability to capture the rawness and genuine moments in a natural space. We were awkwardly laughing off the nervousness of not being sure what we wanted in our maternity photos at first, but by the end of our session, it felt calm and natural... She was willing to navigate new ways to get photos of us in a space she had never shot in before to give us the perfect photos as expectant parents to hold onto forever!
"CAYLA MADE US FEEL calm AND natural."
Alexis + Aaron
I cannot recommend and rave about Cayla enough to anyone and everyone. She truly is a master behind the camera and has a work of art with her photos and I am so so happy that I was able to find her and have her be part of some of our big moments.
"CAYLA MADE OUR dream FOR OUR PICTURES COME true."
Maili + Shane
She helped us so much with looking for a location, especially because we have never been to TN before. She answered all of my questions and helped me capture the amazing memories that I get to look back on. I would recommend her to anyone!! Love love love Cayla!
