Kaylin Phillips Photo

I have a studio date booked for anyone interested! This time around I’ll have a moody/deep green backdrop and some beautiful flower arrangements for props (photo from the studio in the comments).

Perfect timing for Mother's Day, milestone or personality portraits, or just an easy way to get some updated photos of your crew.

Message me if you want a spot! 🫶🏻🌷

I sent off my final gallery for the year last week and truly truly just feeling so grateful!!

The fall marked three years since I took the leap into putting myself out there and starting this little side business (pushing myself out there if I’m honest…the spotlight is not where I long to be 😂), & this year specifically I feel so deeply how I’ve learned + grown. I’ve said yes to opportunities that felt scary, no to things that I knew wouldn’t fill my cup, and I’ve explored creative techniques to get me closer to where I want to be as a photographer. Most importantly, I’ve learned to trust my calling and to be more confident in my own style + vision.

So if you’ve played any sort of role in those things, be it trusting me with the beautiful weight of capturing a season or milestone for your family, or giving a follow, a comment or an encouraging word…a fellow photographer that’s offered kindness or wisdom…my most heartfelt *~thank you~*. This gig that I get to do fills a special part of me + really is my heart’s work.

With all of that…Merry Christmas + HNY to you! I’m pretty giddy about what 2026 has in store. ✨

Sweetest new Mom + Dad 🥹🤍

Sometimes when I’m photographing a family, it’s almost tangible when the stress level increases in the parents as the children start to wander or give a little resistance, and I can’t say that I don’t relate when the tables are turned & it’s my own family in front of the camera. I’m always tempted to (& sometimes do) whisper to the mom, “breathe deep! It’s going to be just fine. Better, even, than if they just sat and did what we asked.”

I’m not all that interested in having your kids look at me and “smile” — I’d much rather hang out with your family and capture them as they are.

I think that’s where the magic happens, and dare I even say those will be your favorites to look back on. 💌
