The mere thought of booking a family session can sometimes evoke a unique blend of excitement and stress. I recognize that the traditional approach of posed family photography often falls short in capturing the authentic connections and true personalities that make your family unique. The pressure to present a picture-perfect image, coupled with the unpredictability of coordinating everyone's schedules and moods, can add an unexpected layer of stress. Here at Kayla Mae Co. I embrace the beautiful chaos that is family life, offering a refreshing alternative to conventional sessions. My goal is not just to capture moments but to provide an experience that celebrates the real, unfiltered beauty of your family story
As your dedicated storyteller, out time spent will not be wasted with staged poses, we will capture the genuine essence of your family dynamics. A family session with me is not just about photographs; it's an experience where the narrative unfolds naturally. Picture the soft glow of sunset as your family gathers in a scenic location, laughter echoing through the air. I believe in creating an environment where your unique story can breathe, allowing genuine interactions and heartfelt moments to take center stage. There are no forced smiles or contrived poses; instead, I become an unobtrusive observer, capturing the beauty of your connections—the shared glances, the playful banter, and the quiet moments that define your family bond. And even the grumpiest dads are laughing and playing by the end of the session.
There are a million ways I can support you through your family session, but lets talk about my faves...

As long as you booked a full family session, around two weeks before your session I will start the styling process! I will send a questionnaire over to you to get all the deets on what you love and don't love to make sure I style your family authentically. Then you'll just need to show up to the session. Don't sweat it though if wardrobe wasn't included in your session fee, I've still got your back! I will send you some wardrobe options easy to order before your session.
It's session day, yay! I will guide you by hand through every step of your session from beginning to end I won't leave you hanging, We will play, dance, joke, run, all the things, all to capture the most beautiful images of your families story. 3-4 weeks after your session you will receive the link to your online gallery where you'll choose your finale images to download.
When you know you want to pass these images down for generations, this is your go to collection. Includes your session fee, styling from the client wardrobe for all participants, and an heirloom album filled with the beautiful images we create (all family collections are for immediate family members only, Kayla does not offer extended family sessions)
This collection is for the mommas who want the Kayla Mae Co. experience but prefer their images in a digital format, because we know a momma who love to share those babes on social media most!
This collection is great for the momma who wants to try out the KMC experience. Its a bite sized experience with wardrobe provided for mom and 10 images, but with the availability to upgrade your session with additional images.
So many things that we choose to spend money on lose their value over time, but photography is an investment that only increases in value. This is a time in your life that is truly special, and you deserve to be celebrated for all that you do. You can never get this time back, but with photos you’ll be able to cherish these moments for the rest of your life.
Absolutely!! I know that being in front of the camera can feel a little awkward, but you don’t have to stress one bit. I’ll help you choose your perfect outfit, and I’ll gently guide you throughout your entire session. I promise that your photos will turn out beautifully, and you’ll be so happy you went for it once you see them.
Yes. While I know that can be tricky, I promise that the end result will be worth it. The memories that you’ll capture are priceless, and it’s MUCH better than trying to do it on your own.

Yes, I do also offer birth collections. These collections will document your experience throughout your labor and delivery. If interested, please feel free to send me a message so we can chat!
