Capturing the joy of every stage — from first giggles to first birthday cake smashes.

Because Every Stage

Deserves to Be Remembered

They grow so fast, don’t they?

One day it’s tummy time… the next it’s toothy smiles and wobbly steps.

My milestone sessions are designed to pause time and celebrate the in-between — the tiny milestones that often get lost in the busy blur of motherhood. Whether it’s a cake smash for their big birthday or a simple 6-month sitter session, we’ll capture your baby just as they are: curious, growing, and oh-so-loved.

  • Kayla is incredible! She takes her time with your child to capture precious moments in photos that you will cherish forever. She was so gentle and patient with my little one. 10/10 definitely recommend! Couldn’t ask for a better photographer! Make an appointment, you won’t regret it!

    - Christina K.

  • Kayla is literally god sent. She was so patient, kind and so great with my kiddos. I definitely would recommend her ten times over. We had something come up and she did whatever she could to make sure we still got to have our session. The session was easily the best photography session my family has ever had!

    - Mackenzie S.

  • We are so grateful to have found Kayla! Kayla took our maternity, newborn, family photos, 6 month milestone, Christmas, and 1 year milestone photos. Kayla has such a talent and eye. She is passionate about her work, and is patient with our daughter when she isn’t exactly cooperating for photos. I cannot recommend Kayla Hunter Photography enough to every person looking for an exceptional photographer!
