Welcome.
Beauty is found in the little moments of life's interactions.
When time stands still...
I feel privileged to be given the opportunity to capture the essence of your moment so that you may cherish it for a lifetime.
hi there!
My name is Layla, I'm an Adventure Wedding & Portrait photographer based in Central Michigan.
I believe capturing human connection and authentic moments produce the most powerful images.

A FEW FAVORITES

His touch was gentle but strong...
a constant support of comfort
and love to her
throughout their day...
A gentle reminder of
this is us,
walking together,
surrounded by the ones
who love us the most.
It was beautiful
and didn't go unnoticed...
In their home you will hear
little bare footsteps as they run across the hardwood floor...
followed by the beautiful sounds
of laughter shared by all.
I could feel the fullness
of joy in the air...
this was home...


Their love for each other grew deeper and deeper everyday...
Now their love has grown a darling baby girl...
May she grow up to know the depth of love that started it all.
My Approach
My style is more of an organic approach, allowing me to capture real and authentic moments. During my time with you, I focus on creating a fun, laid back experience. I will have you running together, snuggling one another, and sneaking in sweet little kisses. You will be given an action, which creates beautiful and genuine reactions.

CAPTURE THE ESSENCE
Essence Imagery Photography
Photography is a visual language that transcends all language barriers.
A mother's touch...
A warm embrace...
The purity in a child's eyes...
All can be understood because an image tells the same story in all languages.
It gives me immense joy and honor to be welcomed into my client's lives!
