I started KGP in 2020 as a junior in high school, and I haven't put my camera down since! I love being apart of other people's best days and capturing moments that will be well-loved in the years to come.

I currently live with my husband and golden retriever in Lafollette, Tennessee. I love to read, write, workout, and snowboard, and throughout the week you'll find me out hiking trying to find new locations for sessions! I graduated from Lincoln Memorial University with a degree in English in May 2025!

Meet Kayli!
work with me

Our memories are so fleeting, and that's why I'm so passionate about capturing all those little moments that we can never get back. In five, ten, twenty years, I want you to have beautiful, heartfelt images that you can look back on to help you remember the past.

My photography style is primarily bright, fun, and colorful, mixed in with a bit of the nostalgia of film and the emotion of black-and-white! I am constantly inspired by the scenery of East Tennessee - the mountains, the hills, how the sun makes every field glow during sunrise and sunset. Every season here has a different kind of beauty that provides the perfect backdrop for capturing your memories.
