capturing

[◉¯] Photos are more than just pretty smiles—they’re the laughter, the quiet glances, and the in-between moments that tell your story. I gently guide each session so it feels natural, easy, and fun—because the best images come when you’re simply being you.
I’ve always been drawn to the beauty in real life—the sunlight peeking through trees, the wind in your hair, the emotion behind every touch. With an eye for detail and a love for storytelling, I blend authenticity, feeling, and a touch of artistry in every frame.
Even better? You get to choose your editing style—surreal, candid, documentary, or cinematic. Each one captures a different mood, but when I weave them together, the result is timeless, emotional, and uniquely yours.

Kendall & Leland Allison wedding

I could not be more thankful for Kayla. We are so lucky to have had her on our wedding day- truly. She was attentive, efficient, and just downright amazing at her job. She told us exactly what to do, when, where, how, etc. She helped keep the day moving smoothly. She even came in handy with other things- like eyelash glue and bustling my dress!! We really could not have imagined our day without her. She was incredibly easy to work with prior to the wedding and quick to respond, as well. Kayla, thank you for everything you did for us on our wedding day.. you are truly special! Best photographer ever!!! 

Kayla was seriously incredible and SO easy to work with! 

The Alexander family

Kayla did an AMAZING job capturing so many beautiful moments for our family photos, we will cherish them forever! We have three small children (7, 5, & 8 months) and she was incredibly easygoing, & had some fun ideas for keeping them happy the entire session with smiling faces in each picture! We will definitely be hiring her again in the future and would recommend her to anyone looking for a fabulous photographer! Stunning work!!

We seriously could not be happier!  We highly recommend Golden Lens.

Kayla was amazing! So professional but also so fun. She absolutely captured the essence of our day and our family and our relationship. Every time throughout the night when I thought, "Man, I want a picture of this exact moment," I would look over and Kayla was already in the middle of the action getting every single angle and shot. She was awesome and we could not recomend her enough!

My family was blown away when they saw the beautiful photos.

If you’re looking for a photographer who is not only incredibly talented but also one of the sweetest, most down-to-earth people you’ll ever meet. Kayla is exactly this. Her attention to detail, patience, and ability to bring out genuine emotions is simply amazing. Whether it was a candid moment or a perfectly framed shot, every picture felt personal and full of life 🤍 we love Kayla!!!

Her attention to detail, patience, and ability is simply, AMAZING

Working with Kayla was such an empowering experience. I was apprehensive about doing professional photos, but Kayla made me feel so comfortable and, as a result, I feel like my real personality came out in these photos. Kayla is an artist and a gift to the photography community. I’m so grateful for this experience and I will treasure it always. And I will most certainly be sending everyone her way for photos!

Working with Kayla was such an empowering experience!

We are so grateful that we went with Golden Lens for our engagement and wedding photos! They all came out beautifully and Kayla made the experience seem so natural and un-posed. I have received so many compliments on the photos we’ve gotten back and can’t wait to get the rest of the wedding pictures! We g it the first few the night of our wedding — which was absolutely incredible! My maid of honor even ended up booking a couples shoot with Kayla after she saw how the first few turned out. I highly recommend.

I received so many compliments on the photos!
