Hi I am kAYLA cARDEN
I BOUGHT A CAMERA
That is how it all started, obviously. I bought a camera to start taking pictures of our two children, Mia and Maverick. (We now have F O U R wonderful children.) Basically just how most mom photographers start, not thinking I would fall in love with the idea of photography. Before I knew it, God sent people my way for pictures. Of course I did not charge at that point because I was just starting out. But then more and more people were starting to ask. More time of mine was being consumed by a five hundred dollar machine. My main goal in life was to be a stay at home mom that would raise her kids up for the Lord. I felt like I couldn't do that with a 9-5. I truly believe God has placed the love of photography in my heart for a reason. It has been such a blessing in so many ways. Each family I encounter the more of God I can see. He is literally in every detail. I get to meet and watch so many families grow.
A little about me outside of photography is, I'm a twenty-nine year old stay at home mama just trying to run a spirit-led photography business. If you do not know by now, I LOVE Jesus. He is the first person I talk to in the morning and the last person I talk to at night. All my achievements are because of HIM. I am a mother to four beautiful children that the Lord has blessed us with. I am married to my high school sweetheart. We are going on year thirteen together. Shaun is my biggest supporter. Coffee is my preferred drink. Honestly my blood might be part coffee. I love thrifting, hunting, fishing, and just being a mom. Being a mother has been the BEST part of me. Who I am is what you get. I wear my heart on my sleeve. I probably talk way too much to be honest too. My whole family loves to BLARE some Forrest Frank! And if I'm not dieting I will most of the time have a Dr.Pepper if I'm not having a Starbucks drink.
"Whatever you do, work at it with all of your heart,as working for the lord, not for human masters."

"I care about the experience as much as I CARE ABOUT THE FINAL IMAGE"
Making sure my clients feel loved from the moment they inquire a session with me is my goal. I aim to go above and beyond for each person who reaches out to me. I want to make sure they have the best experience because let's be honest, posing for a stranger is tough. It feels awkward. Opening up to a stranger, is awkward. But I assure you when booking we become like we've known each other for years. I love with my whole heart even to strangers.
Lets' connect
Are you ready to experience intentional photography that captures how you feel not just how you look?
