THE STORY OF A PHOTOGRAPHER

Hey there, friend!

Welcome to my photography haven! I am absolutely thrilled you are here! I would love to share a bit about myself with you. 

I am Kayla, the heart and soul behind Kayla Collins Photography, and your biggest hype woman! I absolutely love seeing people thrive. I am a proud mom to my vibrant daughter, Adelynn. I recently graduated with a Master's degree in Social Work, and my ultimate goal is to become a clinical therapist and obtain my LCSW. In my free time, I enjoy kickboxing, music, shopping, traveling, and spending quality time with loved ones. Fun fact: you will always catch me embracing anything pink! I fully believe life is just better in 50 shades of pink. 🩷

Photography was a hidden calling I never expected; it chose me, and I am eternally grateful for that. I embrace all aspects of photography; from wedding and couples portraits to senior, maternity, branding, and beyond. I believe every moment is worth capturing!

I am honored to have been recognized as the Best of the Best Photographer by the Sentinel Record, where I was voted #1 in 2024. I was also a finalist in 2023 and have recently been recognized once again as one of the top three photographers in Hot Springs for 2025. Additionally, I am proud to be the photographer for Stroll the Lakeside Area Magazine, where my work has been featured monthly since February 2024.

I pour my heart into every image I create. My meticulous, hand-edited photos are crafted with love and reflect my modern artistic vision. No presets or filters here, just genuine moments captured in a vibrant, natural style.

Let’s chat! I’m here to guide you and make this process as easy and enjoyable as possible. Together, we can create stunning art that preserves your beautiful memories for a lifetime.

See you soon,

Kayla ♡
