Meet Kayla | St. Augustine Family Photographer
About
Wife, Mom, Veteran, and PhotographerHi, I’m Kayla, a St. Augustine family photographer specializing in timeless studio and outdoor portraits for families, children, graduates, and motherhood throughout Northeast Florida.
I work with busy moms who want beautiful, meaningful photos without the stress of planning everything on their own. From styling guidance to a fully guided session experience, every detail is designed to feel simple, relaxed, and intentional.
As a mom of four, I understand how quickly these seasons pass. My goal is to create timeless portraits that preserve genuine connection and become artwork your family will treasure for years to come.
The little details of childhood change so quickly … the way they laugh, hold your hand, and look at you right now won’t stay the same forever. Photography gives us the ability to preserve those moments in a meaningful, tangible way so they can be remembered and shared for generations.
Why Family Photography Matters to Me
From wardrobe guidance to helping little ones feel comfortable during the session, every detail is thoughtfully planned so you can relax and enjoy the experience. Sessions are designed to feel natural, easy, and centered around genuine connection.
A Guided Stress-Free Experience
-
After booking, you’ll receive styling guidance to help coordinate outfits that photograph beautifully and feel natural to your family. Neutral tones, soft textures, and timeless pieces work especially well for both studio and outdoor sessions.
-
That’s completely normal and expected. Sessions are designed to feel relaxed and child-led when needed, allowing genuine moments and personality to naturally unfold without pressure.
-
Sessions are available in studio or outdoors throughout St. Augustine, St. Johns County, and Northeast Florida, including beaches, historic downtown St. Augustine, and carefully selected indoor locations.
