where art meets emotion

hi hi! I'm kylie -

Monterey native, book lover, nature admirer & photography guide. I've been a creative since birth, always dipping my toes in one pursuit or another--even to this day.


As a photographer, I strive to bring art into memory, while also making you feel comfortable in your own skin. I love working with my clients to create galleries that reflect the truth of the moment, the kind of stuff that gives you goosebumps every time you look at it. Our time together will feel less like a photo shoot & an adventure in love, connection, and authenticity.

Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,

the world offers itself to your imagination,

calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting -

over and over announcing your place

in the family of things.

Testimonials

By far one of the best experiences I’ve ever had with a photographer!


My fiancé hired Kylie for our engagement shoot, and we couldn’t be happier with the outcome. She was both professional and incredibly considerate when it came to capturing our special moment. Not only was she personable and easy to connect with, but she also made sure we were comfortable with all the suggested poses and encouraged us to share any ideas we had.


She even brought a bottle of champagne to help us celebrate and capture the excitement of the moment—such a thoughtful touch!


I truly couldn’t recommend a better photographer for your special occasion. Thank you so much, Kylie!!

Testimonials

I cannot recommend Kai enough! We’ve now done two shoots with her, and each one was absolute magic in its own unique way.


What makes her stand out is her easy-going personality, she knows how to make you feel relaxed, confident, and totally yourself. She’s also amazing at coaching poses in a way that never feels awkward. Just a few little adjustments and suddenly you’re getting those “wow, that could be in a magazine” shots.


She’s remarkably talented with an incredible eye for detail, and has a true gift for turning a vision into reality. If you want photos that look like a dream but still feel like you, she’s the one to trust!
