capturing
[◉¯] Photos are more than smiles and the images themselves. They capture memories, the emotions, and the sheer love from them! With that being said, I strive to take control but approach it gently, so everyone enjoys the moments. I have always had a passion for capturing the wonderful and natural beauty of the world. With a keen eye for detail and a knack for story telling, I combine elements of authenticity, emotional range, and beauty. Even COOLER? I offer more than 1 editing style you can choose from!
I'm in love with capturing that!

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
Sarah - BRanding session
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!
Oldeck Couple
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!

All four words-surreal, candid, documentary, and cinamatic -are related to visual storytelling and artistic expression. They describe different approaches to capturing and presenting moments. Each term influence! how a story or scene is preserved, shaping emotions, authenticity, and artistic intent. While some focus on realism (candid documentary), others emphasize artistry and stylization (surreal, cinamatic), but they al contribute to how audiences engage with and interpret visual narratives And the best part about all these words? I intertwine them all together when I capture your moments.
It is important to LOVE the style of your photographers work.

etting the call to photograph Matt Vierling—yep, the Detroit Tigers outfielder—was already a home run. But finding out I’d be capturing his surprise proposal? Total grand slam. As a photographer, there’s nothing better than raw emotion, and this moment was packed with it: the nerves, the love, the big reveal. I had a front-row seat to a major league love story, and getting to freeze that unforgettable moment in time? Let’s just say I was grinning behind the lens the whole time.
