About Kayla
Hi! I’m Kayla - the photographer behind Photos By Kayla Mae.
A Florida girl at heart, I spent seven years in NYC before settling in Hoboken with my husband. We love this community, and I’ve really enjoyed delving into my creative side by spending more time taking photos of loved ones and newer friendly faces. It brings me so much joy to share what I get to view through my camera lens - that the most natural and genuine version of you is also the most beautiful.
My Approach
I believe that your photos should feel like you - natural, relaxed, and lively. I gravitate toward outdoor locations and in-home sessions because that’s where people feel most at ease and where natural light shines its best. My editing style is light, bright, and true to color, allowing every moment to feel timeless without losing its authenticity. My work blends portraits with impromptu candids, capturing those fleeting, genuine, unrepeatable moments that offer a glimpse into your truest self. My goal is for your session to feel easy and free, whether you are posing for the camera, laughing, or interacting with loved ones. When the pressure’s off, your true personality will shine through, and we will create joyful images that stand the test of time.
I photograph families, newborns, couples, portraits, and events. Whether you are celebrating a significant milestone or documenting everyday life, I want your photos to reflect the exact vibe and ambiance you have in mind. My easy-going and communicative nature will help you feel like a true collaborator toward your beautiful finished product.
I’d love to work with you and capture the moments that matter - big, small, and everything in between.
