Meet your photographer.
I'm Kaylene! I got serious about learning photography shortly after having my first baby. Every moment with him felt like I couldn't hold onto it long enough (ok, minus the colic fits), and I realized my camera was the best way for me to capture the magic while also providing a much needed creative outlet. So I deeply understand how bittersweet it is to watch your children grow. I love that photography gives us a chance to pause time and revisit every version of our kids we've had to say goodbye to.
My career began in birth photography and doula work, where I eventually added videography to my services. While I was so passionate about birth work, the demands of being on-call 24/7 were too difficult to manage while raising my own little one. So I shifted my focus to family photography, and I found myself falling in love with this type of storytelling too.
Outside of photography, I love spending time with my own kids. We’re big fans of movies, books, and video games, and getting lost together in magical worlds and adventures. My kids are my greatest source of creative inspiration and we spend a lot of time making art together, whether that's painting, crafting, or baking something fun in the kitchen. When we're not cozied up at home, we love to spend time outside exploring nature.
I come from a neurodiverse family, with ADHD and autism playing a role in our daily lives. I understand firsthand the challenges of getting kids, especially those with special needs, in front of the camera and I fully believe in respecting their autonomy. I can assure you there is no pressure to be "picture perfect." If smiling or looking at the camera is something that stresses your kid out, they simply don't have to. My goal is to document your family authentically, embracing the uniqueness of it.
