and I believe that women are badass human beings who deserve to celebrate every inch of the skin they’re in.

Hey babe, I'm Kayla

Picture this: It’s 4 p.m. on a Thursday afternoon, and you get an email notification that your photo gallery has been delivered. Your heart flutters with excitement as your fingers race to scroll through your images. The photos load and you gasp with emotion. You can’t believe the woman you’re looking at is you. “She’s iconic,” you think to yourself. That’s when it hits you – after all this time, YOU are your own muse. 

Because One Day

I looked up and realized that IT HAD BEEN YEARS since I’d taken a photo with my husband…

So, yeah, I know what it’s like to feel not good enough to book the shoot, to wonder if the photographer can work with your body type, and to feel discouraged because you don’t look like the girl in your “inspo” photos.

But my calling is to help women like you show up as yourself and feel confident no matter how much your body has changed.

I help my branding clients give the finger to how society says women should show up in their work.My maternity girls? You’ll feel like Beyonce when she announced her pregnancy on stage, MILF-style. Boudoir? You’ll want to leak your own nudes. So, don’t worry about me. I’ve got you covered…

It was devastating to accept that I had let the way I felt about myself stop me from documenting years of memories with the person I love most in this world.


So, I did something radical. I booked a photoshoot. Now let’s be freaking real – was I obsessed with my body in those images at the time? No.


But I’m proud that I captured myself in a season of life when I didn’t feel “good enough” to get in front of the camera. Now, I get to look back and love the hell out of the girl in those photos.

The experience and confidence I gained by embracing my body were worth the investment alone.

My irrational fear is

my beige flag is

I’m low-key obsessed

Falling through grates in the sidewalk. I leap over that shit. I'd rather look dumb than plummet to my death, AS IF I'm as thin as paper to even be able to fall through.

 I think the phrase " LOL " just completes a sentence even when the slightest giggle does not fall into play.

With all things golden
