MEET YOUR PHOTOGRAPHER

GET TO KNOW ME


Hi! I’m Kaya, I’ve been a Wedding and People photographer for six years now. In that time I’ve been lucky enough to be able to shoot across North America and the Middle East. Growing up in Southern Manitoba has heavily influenced my work ( I like to joke my brand is “ Long green grass” ) I love the rolling hills of a cow pasture, the creamy golds of wheat fields and the way the sky can go on forever. I come from a long line of storytellers, something I try my darndest to bring into  every element of my work. When you are in front of my camera, I want to be able to tell your story. I want you to feel like YOU, not some stiff posed version of yourself. If fifty years down the road you open your photo albums and show your grandkids the photos we took together and remember how you felt in them, then that’s all I could ever hope for as a photographer.  When I’m not photographing, you can find me in the woods or dreaming of my next adventure.

Fun Facts


1)  I’m the oldest of six kids, I grew up running around in the fields and woods of the Turtle Mountains in Southern Manitoba. 

2) Coffee is my life source and my love language. Sound cliche? probably. But it’s true. In another life (or maybe this one) I run my own coffee shop. 

3) I love travelling, I’ve been to 8 countries and 3 continents (and counting!)

4) There is no food I dislike, aside from majorly sweet stuff but if I had to choose a favourite, it’s probably a toss up between fresh falafel or thai food. 

5) My favorite Tv show is Friends and my favourite character is Chandler.

6) When I was a teenager I loved carting a point-and-shoot to all my social events, taking heavily filtered photos of my friends, rushing home and uploading them to facebook. While the majority of my photographing these days is client related, I still get a big burst of excitement every time I import a new shoot or upload a gallery. 

7) I’m an introverted extrovert. Figure that one out.

8) My favourite country in the world is Nicaragua, if you hire me and elope there, I’ll love you forever.
