About Your Photographer..

Where it all began..

I am SO glad you're here. I'm Kayla Elise-a full-time Lifestyle + Wedding Photographer serving Virginia and The Carolinas-but willing to travel wherever your heart desires. I am a mama to a sweet baby girl and little boy-family is my world. I am a follower of Christ and let his guidance map the path of my life. All in all, he’s what got me here. I love thrifting, and traveling! You’ll probably find me with a coffee in hand listening to some good music while waiting for the next adventure life brings!


Trust me, I know how much you want to hold on to every second

Take the photos.

As a mama, I know we all want to freeze time. Whether it is the day you + your long time love share the same last name, the day you walk across that stage and every bit of hard work is paid off, the day to bring your new baby home, to those little arms squeezing you around your waist-capture the moments. The neatest thing about memories is that you can freeze them in real-time. I hope to have the privilege of freezing yours.
