I've Yet to Meet a sunset or a dog that I did not like.
If this applies, please tell your dog I said, "Hi!♡"
A real "people person" at heart, I feel so grateful that I get to do this work.
Much like the mycelium network beneath our feet on Earth, we are all intricately connected by the threads of our human experience. There is a profound magic in how individuals, once strangers, can bloom into some of the most treasured and irreplaceable bonds in our lives.

As your wedding photographer, the images I seek to create are rooted in truth.
My aim to be non-obtrusive, thoughtfully observational and intentional when freezing time. I like to say that I specialize in the art of noticing. The style of my work is comprised of 88% 'fly-on-the-wall' documentary, with about 12% or so of creative direction sprinkled into the mix. I'm here to offer guidance ensuring that you feel like your most confident self, though ultimately, I am simply bearing witness and capturing the beauty that is naturally yours!! Couples who are drawn to my work tend to be laid back, enjoy a good laugh and value realness. It is privilege to work with people in love who don't take themselves too seriously and also appreciate the importance of capturing their cherished moments forever. With me, there's no need to put on a show. I believe that life, in it's true form, is far more captivating. As the old saying goes: "Be yourself; everyone else is taken."
Weddings go by in a flash (pun very much intended) so let's slow down a little bit and just be in the moment. In a world that can often feel like it is moving too fast, I love how through photography I have the ability to help you freeze time and be fully present to soak it all in.
It is a gift I hope to offer you: The ability to be with your people. To relish in the togetherness. To just be. To fully embrace the fleeting moments and to get truly amazing photographs from it all. Your memories matter.
I love photography, fresh air, basking in the sunshine and meeting new people but I could do without mosquitoes. Many moons ago, nearly a decade now, a friend asked me if I would photograph their wedding. After many years of wandering around with my camera in hand and photographing stunning landscapes during my travels from here to there and taking photos at live music and other events, it only made sense that naturally, eventually, I'd find myself in the world of weddings. I was instantly hooked. It's like all my enthusiasm finally had somewhere to go. And the rest, well it was history. My love for photography runs deep. A favorite pastime of mine is looking through our beloved family albums and boxes of old photographs with my mom. Quite literally holding family and familial ties from generations before mine, in print, in my hands, is a feeling like no other. My mother has the ultimate stash of vintage photo goods and raised me to have an appreciation for such things. It is the honor of my lifetime to create meaningful images together with you that will become your own family heirlooms. Here is a gentle reminder that our images were never meant to live on a screen. Print you photos! Better yet, ask me about getting your photo album together :)
What is the nicest thing someone has ever said to you? I'll go first...
"My wife and I stumbled upon Kyra’s business while looking for a wedding photographer that could produce images that felt organic, playful, and unique to the folks being photographed. Kyra, and her wonderful second shooter, Sage, more than delivered in that regard. These two are artists, full stop. Not only are we over the moon about the actual images that Kyra and Sage captured of our wedding, we are super pleased with the experience of working with them. As a same-sex couple, working with LGBTQ+ friendly vendors was very important to us, and Kyra was absolutely phenomenal on all accounts— we never felt like we needed to explain or justify our non-traditional wedding party, preferred terminology, or aspects of chosen family during the wedding."
