DOCUMENTARY photography WITH A luxurious TWIST
get to know me better
I'm Cayla, a creative millennial with a keen eye for detail and a passion for artful storytelling.
My specialty? Documenting your story with purpose, creating emotion filled imagery, and serving you with both a fun and relaxed experience.
But one thing you should know: I'm always going to show up as your friend as opposed to just another vendor. If you're wanting a photographer to pose you, tell you to smile, and send you on your way, I'm probably not your girl. I'm a firm believer that your story deserves to be told with intentionality. That’s why I pour my heart into every single shot, making sure that when you look at your photos, you’re immediately transported back to that moment in time.
holding SPACE FOR YOU TO SHOW UP AS YOURSELF, WHILE DOCUMENTING YOUR STORY IN A WAY THAT FEELS MEANINGFUL AND TRUE TO YOU.

CAPTURING THE real, unscripted MOMENTS. TELLING YOUR STORY WITH elegance AND heart
explore the experience
Understanding who you are is the biggest piece of the puzzle when it comes to crafting photographs that feel like you. That's why I prioritize getting to know you first. In fact, you can probably count on grabbing a coffee (or cocktail hehe) before your session. Why? Because knowing all of your tea allows me to tell your story the way it was meant to be told: in all its raw, honest, and beautiful glory.
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
I don't know about you, but looking back on old photos (especially printed ones) is one of my favorite pastimes with my friends and family. Flipping through photo albums with a glass of wine, reminiscing about old times, sharing tears looking at photos of those we've lost - it reminds us that at some point, photos will be all we have left. That's why I do what I do: to keep those memories alive.
they become more than just images, but tangible artifacts of a life well-lived.
YOUR PHOTOS ARE little treasures THAT CARRY THE legacy OF YOUR LIFE

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!
