I’m a mom of two toddler girls, so I understand how quickly everything changes. The little quirks, the phases, the way they reach for you without thinking. It all feels so big in the moment, and then somehow it’s already gone.
Before photography, I owned a macaron baking business back in Pennsylvania. I’ve always loved creating something meaningful while paying attention to the small details, and that naturally found its way into this work after having my girls.
My sessions are meant to feel easy and comfortable. I’ll guide you when you need it, but there’s no pressure to be perfect. Kids can be themselves, you can just be together, and those are usually the moments that end up meaning the most.
I’m especially patient with little ones and always go at their pace, so nothing feels rushed or overwhelming. It ends up feeling a lot more like time together than a photoshoot. Whether we’re outside or at home with your newborn, my goal is simple. To give you photos that feel like your life and bring you right back to it.
When I’m not behind the camera, I’m with my husband and our girls, right in the middle of the everyday moments I know I’ll miss one day.
If you’re looking for a Raleigh family photographer who keeps things relaxed and focuses on what really matters, I’d love to be a part of your story.
You know those little moments you wish you could freeze in time? That’s what I’m here for.

We had such a wonderful experience with Kyra for our newborn session! From the very beginning, everything felt relaxed and comfortable, which made a huge difference during those early, sleep-deprived days. What really stood out was how incredibly patient and kind she was with our two-year-old daughter. Toddlers can be unpredictable, but she never rushed or seemed stressed. She took her time, engaged with her, and made it fun so we could capture some truly special sibling moments. She handled our newborn with so much care and professionalism, and it was clear she has a lot of experience working with little ones. The whole session felt natural and tailored to our family rather than posed or forced. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful; soft, timeless, and full of genuine emotion. We’ll treasure them forever. Highly recommend to any family looking for a stress-free, meaningful newborn photography experience!

We had the absolute best experience with Kyra. She created such a fun environment for my family to take photos and was able to make the experience enjoyable for my 3 kiddos- ages 5, 3 and 6 months. She captured such candid, beautiful photos of our family that I will truly cherish forever. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for family photos. Not only is she wildly talented, but she’s a gem of a human. We are so thankful for her.
