Kaylin Phillips Photo

I have a studio date booked for anyone interested! This time around I’ll have a moody/deep green backdrop and some beautiful flower arrangements for props (photo from the studio in the comments).

Perfect timing for Mother's Day, milestone or personality portraits, or just an easy way to get some updated photos of your crew.

Message me if you want a spot! 🫶🏻🌷

A little in-home setup of our favorite girl to get us through these gloomy months 🌥️😌🤍

I am looking for a couple of sitting babies (not yet crawling!) for some milestone minis. Could be in-home or studio style. I’ll discount your session to model for me 🙂 Reach out if you are interested in chatting or please share if you know someone who might be!

I sent off my final gallery for the year last week and truly truly just feeling so grateful!!

The fall marked three years since I took the leap into putting myself out there and starting this little side business (pushing myself out there if I’m honest…the spotlight is not where I long to be 😂), & this year specifically I feel so deeply how I’ve learned + grown. I’ve said yes to opportunities that felt scary, no to things that I knew wouldn’t fill my cup, and I’ve explored creative techniques to get me closer to where I want to be as a photographer. Most importantly, I’ve learned to trust my calling and to be more confident in my own style + vision.

So if you’ve played any sort of role in those things, be it trusting me with the beautiful weight of capturing a season or milestone for your family, or giving a follow, a comment or an encouraging word…a fellow photographer that’s offered kindness or wisdom…my most heartfelt *~thank you~*. This gig that I get to do fills a special part of me + really is my heart’s work.

With all of that…Merry Christmas + HNY to you! I’m pretty giddy about what 2026 has in store. ✨

My trial run in studio is actually turning out to be one of my favorite things. If I’m honest, I’m a big baby when it comes to cold-weather outdoor shooting, so I’m suuuper stoked for this option in the colder months.

Sweetest new Mom + Dad 🥹🤍

The Potrykus family, at their home on one of the last barefoot-appropriate fall days. 🍁

When Erin suggested their home as a location for their photos, I was stoked (even before knowing that it was this beautiful!). There’s something just so special and intimate to me about being in your own space, especially for kiddos to be somewhere they’re already familiar & comfortable. Win-win!!

If these are taking me back to my own newborn days, I have to imagine that they’ll do the same for Tayler one day when she’s not in it anymore. And that’s always the goal - to highlight the details that can grow blurry as time passes.

More from these later, but a few sweet ones of this angel boy for gallery-delivery day. 🤍👼🏼

(Scroll to the end for a very relatable moment that made me lol while I was working on these…capturing real life over here 😎)

An 80 degree day in October + the subtle color change in the trees against the bright blue sky...it's what my fall-time dreams are made of, really. 🥹🌳🍂🌤️

Sometimes when I’m photographing a family, it’s almost tangible when the stress level increases in the parents as the children start to wander or give a little resistance, and I can’t say that I don’t relate when the tables are turned & it’s my own family in front of the camera. I’m always tempted to (& sometimes do) whisper to the mom, “breathe deep! It’s going to be just fine. Better, even, than if they just sat and did what we asked.”

I’m not all that interested in having your kids look at me and “smile” — I’d much rather hang out with your family and capture them as they are.

I think that’s where the magic happens, and dare I even say those will be your favorites to look back on. 💌
