Photographer, educator, mom of three, and small-town Idaho girl at heart.

I’ve spent the last thirteen years photographing families, couples, and weddings across Idaho, Wyoming, and the mountain towns in between. My work is rooted in storytelling: the soft, quiet moments. The wild, unscripted ones. The images that make you feel something because they’re true to who you are.

As a mom myself, I know how quickly the seasons pass and how precious it is to freeze time just for a moment. Whether you're visiting the Tetons for the first time or live a few miles down the road, I want your photos to reflect what matters most: the connection, the personality, the little bits of chaos that make your story yours.

Photography is just one part of what I do.

Today, I lead a small but mighty team serving families, creatives, and businesses through multiple arms of our studio. Built with Purpose is our education branch for photographers who want to build aligned, sustainable businesses—and K&Co is our creative agency serving small business owners locally and remotely through intentional media and brand support.

Whether you’re here to have your story documented or to shape a business that feels more like you, welcome! You're in the right place, and I’m so glad you’re here.

Hey! I’m Kayla.

When I’m not working…

You’ll find me navigating school pick-ups, cheering from the sidelines at baseball games, trying to make something grow in the garden, or dancing to Fishing in the Dark with my kiddos in the kitchen. Most days, I’m just trying to keep up with whatever adventure my kids dream up next—and soaking in the moments that make it all worth it.

Life moves fast.

I'm learning to slow down, stay present, and keep showing up—for my people, my work, and the version of success that actually feels like mine.
