Rooted in faith.

Song of Solomon 3:4

Booking a session with me means chasing the wild, joy-filled moments God writes into your love story. From the belly laughs to the teary-eyed vows, I’m here to capture it all so your memories feel as alive as the day you said “yes forever.”

My heart beats loudest for adventurous elopements and couples who love Jesus and each other. Every click of my camera is a way of celebrating His goodness and the once-in-a-lifetime story He’s telling through you.

FAQ

How do I book with you?

I prefer to have you fill out the contact form located at the top right corner. I am also happy to receive phone calls, texts, emails, and DMs through social media, whatever works for you!

How many photos will I receive?

Portrait sessions will receive a minimum of 40 digital images that are hand edited and lightly retouched by yours truly. Elopements will receive a minimum of 250 photos.

What rights will I have to the images?

You will be given access to a personal print release and have the rights to reprint and post to social media or use on your own website (I so appreciate it when you all tag me!). However, you may not sell your images for profit or publish your images without the consent of Kayla Charlis Photography.

Do you travel?

ABSOLUTELY! I thrive on wandering to breathtaking places and freezing moments that feel alive and untamed. If you’re planning to take me somewhere wild and unforgettable, I’m all in—ready to follow your story wherever it leads.

I’ve roamed beyond borders more than a few times, and with my passport in hand, I’d be honored to join you on your next grand journey. Depending on the destination, travel fees may apply, but we’ll dive into those details when the time is right.

What time of day should we expect to be ready for photos?

Almost all of my sessions are scheduled before sunset. This is the absolute best light to compliment everything you've been preparing for. On the rare occasion I will also shoot at sunrise (usually in the hotter summer months).

Do you deliver unedited photos?

Unfortunately RAW or unedited photos do not represent the work I do and therefore I do not deliver them.

Also, per my contract I do not allow any editing or filters to be used on the edited photos I deliver. I work very hard to create amazing photos for my clients and hope my art speaks for itself :)
