I’M AYLA
hey there
Hi! I'm Ayla—yes, that’s Kayla without the “K”! I'm a photographer based in Columbus, OH.
I specialize in high school senior and family photography based in Columbus, OH, and I’m here to capture the real, meaningful, joy-filled moments that make life so special.
Whether it’s a senior on the brink of something new or a family savoring this season of life together, I believe photography is all about connection. The genuine laughs. The quiet in-between glances. The energy, personality, and love that make your story uniquely yours.
You’ll usually find me chasing golden light, wading into a creek, or cracking jokes behind the camera to get that perfect, unposed smile. I want your session to feel like a fun, relaxed experience—not a stiff photoshoot. If you're down for a little adventure, a few goofy moments, and photos that actually feel like you... I'm your girl.
Let’s create something beautiful together.

YOUR AUTHENTIC SELVES WILL SHINE
in every photo
rest assured
In the tender moments captured through my lens, you'll find the love in your eyes, the warmth of a tear on your momma's cheek, and even the endearing rebellion of the flower girl. More than just your photographer, I am your friend, supporter, and cheerleader of your love story, and I genuinely feel honored to call this my life's work!

client love
Ayla did our engagement session and we fell in love with her and her work! My partner and I are such awkward people in front of a camera and she made us feel so comfortable and it was so much fun! We love all of the candid and posed photos - they all just felt and look so natural. We are so excited to have her for our wedding photographer!
