I’m a Branding and Family Photographer - Capturing Beauty in Chaos
Showing people the beauty amongst the chaos is what lights me up as a branding and family photographer. Whether I’m capturing a moment in a family’s life or empowering female business owners, being a photographer is so rewarding.
As a mom myself, my photography journey started with taking approximately 32975382 pictures of my 2 kids. I became obsessed with being able to freeze time momentarily and have something to look back at when it felt like time was moving too quickly. Kids grow up so fast! After getting a professional camera for my birthday from my aunt (who shares my passion for photography), I dove in head first. I tried everything and anything, which helped me learn what I liked and didn’t like. Families and branding? Yes. Weddings? Not for me! I knew with being a mom and a wife, if I wanted to put my all into this, I needed to go all in. After chatting with my hubs about it, he reluctantly agreed, and I quit my corporate job. Layland Photography officially became a business at the end of 2020!
Letting kids be kids and just play and get wild is one of my favorite parts of being a family photographer. I know how little moms are usually in photos, so being able to give that tangible gift to other moms is the best. I love to capture families having fun together and making mommas feel beautiful. It sounds corny, but capturing that beauty in chaos is it for me!
Similarly, as a branding photographer, empowering and uplifting other female business owners through imagery warms my soul. I love meeting people where they are, in whatever season of their business, and working alongside them to help tell their brand’s story. It’s an honor to be able to help female business owners be the face of their brand. It is so important for making connections and attracting ideal clients.
The common denominator? I’ve been there! As both a mom and a female business owner, I know what it’s like on the other side of this relationship.
I take time to connect with the kiddos (because let’s be honest, they’re the stars of the show). I strive for fun, interactive portraits, so my family photo sessions are relaxed, laid back experiences. Capturing a healthy mix of candid and traditional photos is so important to me. Every gallery is filled with lots of versatility.
Community and authenticity is key when it comes to sharing a brand’s story and the face behind the business. I know the importance from personal experience, and I use that to help women elevate their business and connect with their ideal clients through curated, purposeful portraits. I help women feel comfortable and confident in front of the camera.
When you’re working with me as a branding and family photographer, you can rest assured that I get it. I’ve been in your shoes, and I’m there to capture the connection between families and get creative with female business owners. If this sounds like something you’re interested in, reach out! Let’s work together and capture that beauty amongst the chaos!
