explore the experience
Seriously, it's a friggin' honor to be welcomed into your world and trusted to document your story. I truly believe that photo-worthy moments live in even the simplest of spaces. And it's my mission to seek out those moments and preserve them for you.
CAPTURING YOUR greatest MOMENTS ISN'T JUST MY priority, IT'S MY privilege
I'd always been keen to photography (please don't find my old Photobucket account), but the real spark ignited when I shot my first wedding a few years ago. There was something so intoxicating about being surrounded by so much love and joy.
AT HEART, I AM A STORYTELLER WHO FELL IN LOVE WITH THE MAGIC OF FREEZING MOMENTS IN TIME, AND THE FRIENDS I MADE ALONG THE WAY.
I HAVE THE best JOB
I WANT YOU TO FEEL LIKE YOU'RE HANGING OUT WITH A friend – relaxed, AT ease, AND HAVING fun.
I worked at nasa for a few years after college.

It should be about indulgence, laughter, and those beautiful, unscripted exchanges that happen when you're surrounded by loved ones. The luxury of being yourself, celebrating life, and reveling in the joy of each moment. That's where the best art is made.
At the core of my approach is the belief that luxury SHOULDN'T be stiff and formal.
REDEFINING luxury WITH A relaxed TOUCH
My goal is to serve you with so much more than just pretty photos, but with photos that make you feel exactly how you did the moment they were taken.
LET'S DO THIS TOGETHER
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. Although maternity isn’t the typical session for Cayla, 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."
Alecia + Charles
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. Thanks so much, Cayla!
"SHE WAS ABSOLUTELY phenomenal."
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!
"CAYLA WAS amazing! SHE WAS fun, energetic, AND professional!"
Becca + Graeme
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!!
