I love simplifying family photography for busy moms because let's face it - it can be stressful to pull off all the moving parts of family pictures! Because you'd never want to miss out on your yearly family memories, I love to take away the stress of some of the most difficult pain points for you so all you have to do is show up. As your family photographer, I'll supply wardrobe and styling options for the whole family, (no ordering clothing or laundry afterwards? sign me up!), as well as guide you through my beautiful heirloom product options so you have art in your home of those who mean the most to you. All you have to do is enjoy your family - I'll do the rest.

When I arrived at this sweet family's farm the first thing I noticed was their beautiful gardens and field. Outdoor family sessions take place about 2 hours before sunset to ensure the lighting will be golden and complimentary to my clients, and this session was no exception! Kids playing in the field, sweet moments between mom and dad, and many laughs later I knew this gallery was going to be special.

Early autumn is undoubtedly a popular time for family photos, and I absolutely love meeting my clients at some of my favorite spots around the MN and WI areas. A large state park or nature preserve offers wide open spaces with beautiful backdrops, and a private feel. This adorable family was able to run, play games, and just enjoy being together, (with some gentle prompts and guidance from myself), and everyone left with a huge smile on their face. This is why I often refer to my family sessions as an adult play-date with your loved ones.

When family photos take place at your home or on your personal property, the images have a special intimate feel; and this session was no different! It's likely that if a family has plans to stay in their home for years to come, they will treasure these images of when their children were small more than they can even imagine. This is why capturing whatever season of life your in truly matters.

The Family Experience
This is isn't your average family photography session. Rambunctious children, crabby dads and wardrobe are usually my client's top concerns when they come to me for the first time. What they quickly find out? These things are non-issues when working with me.
My sessions are child led, which means I never force children, (or adults!), to behave "perfectly" or pose in an exact way. While we do get some, "smile and look at the camera!" photos, that's not all we do together. We move around, play games, and I encourage your whole family with gentle prompts and guidance to spend most of your time looking at eachother and just having fun as a family. Sessions are generally around 45 minutes which kids, (and crabby dads), love; and wardrobe is all taken care of for you if take advantage of my client closet and styling advice. Easy peasy, lemon squeezy.
Guess what? I make family photos easy.

Working with Kyla felt very natural. Aaron and I were immediately comfortable. The images were so beautiful it was hard to pick our favorites!

I'm so grateful Kyla was able to come to our home and take photos!
My biggest concerns about taking family pictures is always what to wear and what poses to choose. We want to match without looking like we tried to match and we want to choose poses that don't look posed. Kyla not only dressed our entire family, but the entire photoshoot felt so natural. She knew exactly how to pose us. Her style is so elegant, yet whimsical, all of the shots were so fluid and so perfectly captured "us".

Hands down these are the best pictures of our family that have ever been captured.
My family was able to work with Kyla for a newborn and family home session in January of 2022. She was extremely professional and accommodating with our three rambunctious kiddos. Her laid back photography style allowed us to be a family while she captured natural moments.

I would recommend her photography work to anyone!
Kyla provided the best, most relaxed and fun experience for our family photos! The entire process from the get-to-know-you survey prior to our shoot, sweet gifted story book, and prize basket our daughter loved! She was able to capture the spirit of our daughter and family with her beautiful photography.

We cannot wait to work with her in years to come!
I had a maternity session with Kyla at 37 weeks with my one-and-a-half-year-old son and husband. Being this far along with my pregnancy finding myself ‘beautiful’ has been a struggle. Without knowing our backstory, Kyla quickly made me feel truly beautiful. She gave us so many compliments and made sure that each pose she guided us into was one that I was comfortable being in. My favorite part of the session was seeing my son, Asher, be natural. Kyla is not only excellent at being welcoming and making you truly feel great about yourself-she is professional and prepared.

I would without a doubt recommend Kyla to anyone who is looking for maternity photography.
Kyla took wonderful photos for our family. Our little one ( about 1 year old) is shy, and I was afraid that he would not laugh before camera. Kyla made my worry unnecessary. My baby had a happy time during the session and laughed all the time. Kyla made all of us relaxing and happy before camera to make wonderful photos. Her photos are vivid, and both the photo composition and the colors are perfect.

Kyla is the best photographer I have ever seen. I will recommend her to anyone with confidence. She is an amazing artist!
I had a wonderful experience when Kyla came into our home to take pictures of my newborn baby girl and my family. She was so professional and easy going. She brought a few cute props and had a tons of photo shoot ideas. I enjoyed having her shoot my family!

I'm so excited to learn more about why you're inquiring about a session with me!
