SPOILER: I'M FUN
I’m Cayla. I take my work seriously, but not myself. I’ll get the shots you want, of course. But I’m also here to make sure you don’t spend the whole day feeling weird or uncomfortable. I’m always in your corner, and I’ll always make it obvious that this is supposed to be fun, not a chore.
Working with me feels… different. There’s laughing, a little chaos, and zero judgment. You get someone who notices the details, goes with the flow, and manages to make the day feel like it’s all happening the way it was supposed to.
And the photos? You'll want to hang them on your wall for sure. But more than that, you’ll be reminded of the day itself. The way it felt, the people you were with, and how easy it was to just be yourself. If that’s what you’re looking for, we’re going to get along really, really well.
Breaking the rules of what you thought a photographer should be, while still making you look amazing

FEATURED IN:
LESS "LOOK AT THE CAMERA."
MORE "holy sh*t, that's us?"
Here's how it works
People don’t just hire me for photos — they hire me for proof: proof that life moves in strange, hilarious, and unexpectedly gorgeous ways. The laugh you couldn't hold in. The quiet moment no one noticed. The little things that make your story entirely yours.
We’ll wander, improvise, and follow wherever your story goes. The camera quietly observes, and the images? Effortless, alive, and unmistakably you.
Because your story deserves photos that actually feel like life
BREAK THE rules,
KEEP THE memories
INQUIRE
Life doesn’t come with a replay button, moments vanish fast, and memories fade. But photos are the cheat code. They prove that it actually happened, exactly as it did. Years from now, when words fail, photos pick up where memory left off, reminding you who you were, what you loved, and why it mattered.
For the moments that feel too normal to notice but too good to lose
LIFE MOVES fast BUT SOME MEMORIES DESERVE A second chance

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!
