Born and raised in the beautiful Shuswap Valley of British Columbia, Kayleigh has always found her way back home, no matter where life has taken her.
Her photography journey began over twelve years ago during high school, where she completed a four-year photography program without realizing it would become a lifelong passion. Shortly after graduating, she began working with the local newspaper, photographing weekend events — a role she still proudly holds today.
In 2019, Kayleigh moved to Edmonton to continue studying photography at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology. Just seven months later, the pandemic changed everything. What was meant to be a temporary trip back to Salmon Arm with her laundry and cat quickly became a return home for good. She completed her education online and graduated virtually in 2021.
Today, Kayleigh primarily photographs couples, elopements, and weddings, capturing authentic moments and genuine connection in a way that feels natural and timeless. Over the years, she has photographed a wide variety of subjects and experiences, discovering not only where her strengths lie, but also the stories that resonate most deeply with her. Her work is rooted in emotion — the joyful, the intimate, the heartbreaking, and everything in between.
Senior pets hold an especially meaningful place in her heart. For families facing the difficult Rainbow Bridge decision, Kayleigh offers compassionate sessions designed to honour beloved companions and preserve those final memories doing what they love most.
To Kayleigh, photography is more than simply taking pictures — it is about preserving emotion, connection, and the stories that deserve to be remembered.
