Captures By Kayleigh
About
I found photography in 2018 after a car accident. I dove into learning and exploring headfirst and took my camera with me everywhere I went. I became obsessed with documenting life and relationships between people. I'm passionate about capturing families in their natural environment; playing and loving each other. Pets hold a special place in my heart and I'm fanatical about photographing their special personality and bond with the family. Losing Kenzie, my heart dog, in 2023 taught me the priceless value of capturing moments through photography. As a professional dog photographer for 4 years, I’ve had the profound honor of helping others capture their special connections with their furry friends.
Through my lens, I capture meaningful images that celebrate the love, joy and loyalty shared between an owner and their dog. Each image aims to freeze those heartfelt moments, offering a tangible reminder of the extraordinary bond we share with our pets. I’ve crafted a compassionate experience that will provide you with a session with your pet that is unforgettable. Through my Rainbow Session, I will follow you and your pet, capturing images that tell your unique friendship.

Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Working with new clients depends on how much they need from me. After booking with me I send out a style guide to help with choosing outfits for your family. I'm fully there for my clients, if they have any questions on what goes well together, I'm here to help. If you're someone that has outfit choices down, then I won't push. I'm as available as you need me to be!
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I have been shooting since 2018. My father was a professional photographer when I was growing up, so I've always had it around me. I have been published in 4 different magazines, 8 different times. I am constantly learning by taking educational courses on my own time, as well as experimenting with different lighting and editing techniques.
Do you have a standard pricing system for your services? If so, please share the details here.
I have 3 packages for family sessions, starting at $400 and goes to $800. All packages include a mixture of prints and digitals. Send me an email and I can send you my full pricing guide!
How did you get started in this business?
I found photography in 2018 after a car accident. After my accident I was diagnosed with a lifelong mental health disorder and could no longer work in my previous field. I became the assistant of one of my photography idols and began learning photography basics with her. I dove into learning and exploring headfirst and took my camera with me everywhere I went. I became obsessed with documenting life and relationships between people.
What types of customers have you worked with?
I love all my clients! I've done everything from food photography for a new home-based business to a Halloween pinup shoot, from a Wiccan wedding on Halloween to lifestyle newborn in their home. My passion is finding the beauty and connection and everyday moments. I am obsessed with dramatic skies and love to see adorable families in front of incredible sunsets.
Describe a recent event you are fond of.
I love any sessions I can do with little ones. I love having maternity clients come back for cake smashes or milestone sessions. Getting to see the babies before birth and during the first year is magical to me. I had a Halloween pinup last year that was out of my usual scope, but since I'm obsessed with Halloween, it's been one of my favorite shoots!
What advice would you give a customer looking to hire a pro in your area of expertise?
For family photographers, I would suggest finding someone that knows how to roll with children. Children, if you're not good at connecting to them and following their lead, won't have as much fun. It's important for your photographer to be calm and knowledgeable. Being a mom is HARD, and it's important for your photographer to understand this and be able to take some stress off of you by being adaptable and laid back.
What questions should customers think through before talking to pros about their needs?
I would say have a little bit of an idea of what you're looking for. It's absolutely ok to not know what location or outfits or color scheme you want, but you should know if you want all posed images or more of candid and prompts. If you want both, that's perfect, most people do! Just go into the inquiry with an idea and have fun with it!
