I’m a stay-at-home mom to two sweet babies. My journey into photography began in June 2023- right after having my first baby and getting my first camera. What started as a simple way to document our life quickly turned into a passion I can’t imagine living without.

Motherhood changed everything for me. It made me realize just how quickly time passes and how important it is to freeze the little moments that often go unnoticed. That’s what I aim to do with every session- capture connection, emotion, and the beauty in the everyday.

I grew up in Oklahoma and moved to Texas in 2020. Since then, I’ve grown in more ways than I could’ve imagined. I met the love of my life, Austin, and together we’ve built a beautiful family. He’s the one who encouraged me to chase this dream, and I’m so grateful he did.

Photography has brought some of the most amazing people into my life, and I truly treasure every relationship I’ve built through this little business of mine. I can’t wait to meet you, hear your story, and help you preserve the moments that matter most.

Thanks for being here— I’m so glad you are.
xoxo, Kaylan


Kind words

“HAD SUCH AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE WITH KAYLAN. SHE WAS COMMUNICATIVE, FRIENDLY, PROVIDED GUIDANCE FOR POSES AND OUTFITS AND CAPTURED EVERYTHING WE COULD HAVE WANTED AND MORE. BEING A MAMA HERSELF SHE’S ALSO SUPER PATIENT WITH THE LITTLES. WE LOOK FORWARD TO SHOOTING WITH HER AGAIN IN THE FUTURE.”


TANEILLE

”I RECENTLY HAD THE PLEASURE OF WORKING WITH KAY MCKENZIE PHOTOGRAPHY AND I MUST SAY KAY'S TALENT TRULY SHINES THROUGH IN HER WORK. EACH PHOTO WAS CAPTURING THE ESSENCE AND EMOTION OF EVERY MOMENT. WHETHER IT WAS A CANDID SHOT OR A POSED PORTRAIT, KAY HAS A WAY OF MAKING EACH IMAGE COME TO LIFE. HER ATTENTION TO DETAIL AND ABILITY TO CAPTURE THE PERFECT LIGHTING IS ON POINT. THROUGHOUT THE ENTIRE PROCESS, SHE WAS WARM, FRIENDLY, AND MADE US FEEL COMFORTABLE IN FRONT OF THE CAMERA.“

MOLLIE

“I WOULD RECOMMEND KAYLAN 1000 TIMES OVER IF I COULD! SHE MADE US AND OUR KIDDOS FEEL SO COMFORTABLE THROUGHOUT OUR ENTIRE SHOOT. SHE KEPT IT LIGHT HEARTED AND LISTENED TO EVERYTHING WE WANTED/EXPECTED OUT OF OUR PICTURES AND MADE IT HAPPEN. SHE CAPTURED GENUINE MOMENTS AND THE PHOTOS DON’T HAVE A SUPER STAGED FEEL. SHE IS SO AMAZING AT WHAT SHE DOES AND I WILL 100% BE USING HER AGAIN NEXT TIME WE WANT PICTURES DONE.“
