Hi and welcome to Kayla Simon Photos!
My name is Kayla and I am a portrait and fashion photographer based between Nashville and New England. After calling New England my home base for the first twenty-three years of my life, I recently packed up and moved to Nashville, Tennessee, and now travel between my two favorite places for photography.
I’ve loved taking photos ever since I was eight years old, when I got my first little Kodak camera for Christmas. While I started by taking photos of my close friends for fun, I eventually graduated to shooting with new faces from New York Models and Signed Management and discovered a love for fashion photography that I continue to cultivate to this day. Fast forward to now in my early twenties; I’m an award-winning, published photographer ready to help you look and feel your absolute best at your photoshoot.
While I have experience in many different categories of photography, my passion is portraits; I love capturing candid emotion and feeling.
As an English major, I am a storyteller at heart, and this is a big element of my style; I want every image I capture to present a story.
This is one of the many reasons I love fashion photography and creative portraiture; through styling, makeup, composition, and expression, a photo really is worth 1,000 words.
Through creating images that capture a moment in time, I produce photographs that you’ll cherish forever.
The girl behind the camera:
In addition to taking photos, I also love reading or writing; poetry is one of my favorite outlets for my creativity when I’m not behind the camera. I also read way too many mystery novels, and can often be seen leaving the local library with a stack of books about to fall out of my arms.
In my free time, you can usually find me at a concert, an ice cream shop, or the local library. Wherever I'm going, it's definitely rare to see me out and about anywhere without my camera to document the adventure!
A couple of the many things I love to photograph:
Portraits
Creative portraits are my passion. I love trying new ideas with new people and creating beautiful work in fun locations. Together, we can assemble a moodboard, pick out some fun outfits, head to a unique location, and capture some unforgettable shots!
Graduates
Is your high school or college journey coming to an end? Make sure it stays alive forever in your memories by celebrating the occasion with a photoshoot. Graduation photos are one of my favorite things to shoot and I’d love to work with you to capture this amazing time!
