I’M AYLA

hey there

Since you’re probably wondering, yes, it’s Kayla without the “K”! I'm a photographer based in Columbus, OH. I’ll capture the essence of your love through my lens. I find joy in life's simple pleasures and cherish the connections I make with people and places.

For me, photography is an art of connection. I thrive on capturing the intimate moments, the hidden smiles, and the adoring glances that unfold between laughs and snuggles. I'm enamored by couples who share my adventurous, outgoing, and affectionate spirit. While I might be found climbing trees or wading knee-deep in a creek to capture that perfect shot, my couples are just as eager to embrace the wilderness, hearts wide open, kissing in public, allowing me to encapsulate their purest love in every photograph.

YOUR AUTHENTIC SELVES WILL SHINE

in every photo

rest assured

In the tender moments captured through my lens, you'll find the love in your eyes, the warmth of a tear on your momma's cheek, and even the endearing rebellion of the flower girl. More than just your photographer, I am your friend, supporter, and cheerleader of your love story, and I genuinely feel honored to call this my life's work!

A few of my favorite things

  • Can’t start my day without my Matcha Iced Latte with oat milk

  • Any of the beautiful metro gardens around central Ohio

  • My fanny pack, LOL. I wear it to all my shoots and it has everything I need.

  • That I have unique and creative perspectives that add so much to our friendships. Annnnd that I’m not like regular moms, I’m a COOL mom! ;-)

client love

Ayla did our engagement session and we fell in love with her and her work! My partner and I are such awkward people in front of a camera and she made us feel so comfortable and it was so much fun! We love all of the candid and posed photos - they all just felt and look so natural. We are so excited to have her for our wedding photographer!
