kentucky photographer named kayla, wedding photographer, lifestyle photographer, documentary photographer

A photographer who genuinely cares about your story is something you may not know you need!

I believe that photography was always meant to tell stories, whether it was documenting the past on film or capturing the present through a Canon digital camera.

The point of photography is this: connecting people and telling stories that need to be experienced through images.

That’s why I am a photographer, and that’s exactly why your story matters and capturing it authentically is my goal.

  • I became a Christian 7 years ago, and before that I was an atheist. My faith is what ignites everything I do. I didn’t grow up in a Church family, so I understand so many perspectives of faith or the lack of.

    Being a Christian photographer means that I’m committed to managing this business or Jesus, not just asking him to bless it as I run it.

    I am dedicated to serving you purposely and respecting every person who wants to work with me, regardless of their faith.

    I plan to capture you the way the Lord sees you. Full of love, purpose, and joy.

  • My goldendoodle, Zion! He’s been with me since grad school and I adore him. He’s a little 2020 pup, so he’ll be 4 this year!

    Coffee, I’m a straight up addict. It started when I was drinking coffee with my papa as a kid (90% milk back then haha)

    I’m a book fanatic! I’m a straight up Frieda Mcfadden girly. I live for the suspense, mystery, and psychological thrillers!! I share a ton of my reads online too!

    My church is home to me! I serve in missions, youth, and my husband and I lead a “young & married” lifegroup every week. Ministry lights me up inside :)

    Traveling keeps me sane. I’ve been to 6 countries, and between me and you Costa Rica is the most beautiful country in the world.

  • Emmanuel and I have been married since June 4, 2021!

    We met in college through a campus ministry, became best friends, then eventually fell in love. He’s my best friend, my protector, biggest supporter, and genuinely the funniest person I know haha

    Oh, he’s also made me a military and state trooper wife! I am honored to have such an incredible man to call my husband.

I'm all about capturing the heart and soul of stories through my lens. With KJP, I dive into your sessions armed with a passion for real, raw moments. Through lots of laughter and getting to know you personally, I can craft creative visuals that weave your unique story.

Rooted in faith, each second when you’re behind my lens reveals genuine emotions and the depth of the moment. I’m just your down-to-earth friend that brings warmth and authenticity to your gallery, making sure your memories are truly timeless.

For me, blending faith into photography is a calling. It's about freezing those connections and sweet memories into pictures that speak volumes for years to come. Let's build a friendship, tell your story, and create magic together.
