Kayla may be available for a natural beat 45-60 minutes before your portrait slot. Her fee is $ 60. You can connect with her directly on IG or send a message here and I'll forward to her.

Selected images will be sent for your review within two to three weeks following Essence Fest.

You can select up to five images for light edits (lighting, color grade, object removal, if reasonable, etc.).

If you make no selections within a week, I'll select my preferred images and send them as your finals.

Image delivery and review will be on Pixieset. You'll be able to download, leave me notes, and share via link and social media.

I shoot with 56mm, 84mm, and 12-24mm lenses. Depending on location, I may have a fill flash.
