Hi friend, I'm Kayl.
I'm a Grand Rapids-based photographer and licensed hair + makeup artist passionate about capturing beauty and emotion. Growing up in Tulsa, OK, I fell in love with photography over 10 years ago, creating lasting memories through weddings, portraits, and families. As a proud queer and neurodivergent creative, I embrace inclusivity. Recently, I’ve focused on live music photography, collaborating with venues and bands. Ready to travel, I aim to empower and celebrate self-expression.

CAPTURING AUTHENTICITY & EXPRESSION
Every moment tells a story, and I’m here to capture it—raw, unfiltered, and full of life. I blend creativity with inclusivity, celebrating individuality in every frame. Whether it’s the electric energy of live music, intimate portraits, or bold self-expression, my work is all about making you feel seen, empowered, and unapologetically you.
EMBRACING YOUR STORY
Photography is more than capturing an image—it’s about honoring your story and embracing who you are. With over a decade of experience behind the lens, I specialize in creating a space where self-expression thrives. My goal is to capture the essence of your unique journey. Let’s turn your moments into art, together.
