“What sets my portraits apart from the other talented PNW photographers serving Western Washington?

It’s the unwavering commitment I make to each of my clients that their session will be laid-back, low pressure, and tons of fun using the wealth of knowledge being a family and portrait photographer for over 20 years. Let’s make art together!

She is amazing with our girls. My youngest has a really hard time with new surroundings and people she doesn’t know. Kayleigh made her feel right at home! Our youngest has never volunteered to do any photoshoot we’ve done in the past. Thank you for your bubbly energetic energy!

I can’t tell people enough how amazing the family photos turned out and so Grateful for your talent and being able to capture my family and my two lovely ladies. It was a pleasure working with you and made it easy especially since we have littles. Can’t wait for the next family photoshoot.

Kayleigh is hands down the best photographer I’ve ever worked with & trust me when I say I’ve worked with A LOT. My two-year-old is a very busy body and he runs the show. Kayleigh was able to keep up with him while capturing my partner, my oldest, and myself. We get our photos done annually & I will 100% be coming back. Kayleigh has serious talent.

I’ve used Kayleigh a couple of times now for family photos and I’m obsessed! She’s great at capturing our family and interacts with the littles to make it fun for them. I’m definitely excited to continue using Kayleigh as our new family photographer!
