You Are Worth Remembering, Too.

Pregnancy changes you, inside and out.
And while most of the focus is already on baby, I want you to have a moment that’s yours.

A moment to feel seen, celebrated, and held.
My maternity sessions are soft, guided, and full of intention — designed to help you reconnect with your body, your journey, and this sacred chapter of becoming a mother.

What Makes My Maternity Sessions Different

  • Full access to a curated client wardrobe — flattering, comfortable, and stunning on camera. You’ll be able to come in for a dress try-on before your session to see my selection and figure out which one best fits your style!

  • Studio simplicity, beach sunsets, golden fields — we’ll find the place that feels like you.

  • Gentle direction, emotional support, and a space where you feel beautiful without effort.

When’s the Best Time to Schedule?

I recommend photographing your session between 28–34 weeks, when your bump is beautifully round, but you're still comfortable enough to move.


Booking early (preferably second trimester) helps secure your preferred date and location — especially if you plan to bundle with a newborn session.

  • Kayla did an amazing job! I was stressing out over getting maternity photos scheduled at the last minute and she made it so easy. Hair, makeup, and a client closet all in one! The photos turned out better than I could have imagined. Highly recommend!

  • Kayla absolutely exceeded our expectations. We hired her for our maternity pictures, after hearing much praise about her through local moms. I knew I wanted a moody editing vibe and after looking at her portfolio I knew she would achieve it. Kayla cared about getting “the” shot, and every picture we received showed that. We loved her work so much so that we ended up going with her for our newborn pictures! Absolute quality work, we are so grateful we found kayla and cannot recommend her enough!!

You’re Growing Something Beautiful You Deserve to Be in the Frame.

Let’s capture this moment while it’s still yours.
No pressure. No prep. Just peace, presence, and photos that tell your story.

All Your Qs

  • To ensure availability, I recommend booking your newborn photography session during your second trimester. We'll schedule your session based on your due date, and once baby arrives, we’ll finalize the actual session day (ideally between 7–21 days old).

    Limited newborn slots are available each month to give every family a relaxed, unrushed experience.

  • Not at all! I provide everything you need — including soft newborn wraps, handmade headbands, cozy bonnets, timeless props, and beautiful backdrops.

    My Gulf Coast photography studio in D’Iberville is fully stocked and baby-ready. Just bring your little one and enjoy the moment.

  • You’ll have full access to my client wardrobe, which includes flattering maternity gowns, sitter outfits, and baby clothing that photographs beautifully. Whether you're doing a maternity photoshoot in Ocean Springs or family portraits in-studio, I’m here to help you style everything with ease.

  • Yes! While most families choose my cozy studio in D’Iberville, Mississippi, I also offer in-home lifestyle newborn photography sessions along the Mississippi Gulf Coast for those who want to stay in their own space. Travel fees may apply depending on your location.

  • My private, temperature-controlled studio is located in D’Iberville, MS, just minutes from Gulfport, Ocean Springs, and Biloxi. It’s designed to be a soft, quiet place for mamas and babies — complete with a lounge, refreshments, and a fully stocked changing area.

  • Newborn sessions typically last between 2–3 hours to allow plenty of time for feeding, soothing, and snuggling. Everything is baby-led and unhurried — your comfort and your baby’s safety are always the priority.

  • Absolutely. I love documenting the full family connection — especially during maternity sessions and newborn photoshoots. We’ll plan ahead to include siblings in a calm, fun way, and partners are always welcome in the frame.

  • I offer milestone sessions at 3, 6, 9, and 12 months — as well as cake smash photography for your baby’s first birthday. These are short, sweet, and baby-led, with all props and outfits provided. Perfect for families in Ocean Springs, D’Iberville, and the surrounding Mississippi Gulf Coast.

  • Just head to my Contact Page fill out the inquiry form. I’ll reach out personally to walk you through everything and secure your spot on the calendar.


    I only take a limited number of sessions each month to ensure every family gets a personalized, high-touch experience.

  • Yes! I believe every mama deserves to have these moments captured. Flexible payment plans are available upon request for all newborn, maternity, and milestone photography packages.
