Kayla Dawn Photography

Kayla Dawn Photography Port Angeles Portrait + Wedding Photographer I am a local of Port Angeles, Washington and have lived here my entire life.

Home is where the heart is and the Pacific Northwest is definitely where mine resides. I've been pursuing photography since high school and graduated in 2009. I’ve had a curiosity for cameras and the creative aspect for as long as I can remember. I am self taught and discovered early on as I built my portfolio that I was learning the most doing things on my own terms. I’ve been photographing weddi

ngs and portraits professionally for over ten years now and find so much fulfillment using my passion to bless others. It’s such a reward to do what I love most while also having the privilege of being fully present for my sweet little boy. When I'm not taking pictures, you’ll most likely find me spending quality time with my favorite people, trying not to die at the gym, taking the scenic route, working on a creative project at home, or letting my hair down in the mosh pit of a rock show if I'm not shooting it.

Sometimes I wish I could clone myself so I could be in multiple places at once. I’ve been unstoppable this week - tackling a huge array of projects, and managing my editing queue all while balancing mom life is no easy feat. It’s been the busiest week ever but it is so satisfying to feel this productive amidst the beautiful chaos. I’m so close to being caught up and having a slower day to recharge and focus on editing solely is a treat today. I am so happy to have found a moment to gather some of my favorites from this recent surprise proposal. A year ago, I was terrified of doing surprise proposals. I’ve had a few under my belt now and even though I still get incredibly nervous going into them, it’s so rewarding for me. Every time. 🥰

I was so thrilled to be back at and document another wedding day vision. nailed the assignment as always and her floral arrangements turned out so vibrantly stunning. .mua is such a sweetheart and did a phenomenal job, and .catering… oh my goodness that had to be some of the tastiest food I think I’ve ever had in my life.

I’ve been wanting to do a little re-introduction for a while now but l’ve struggled for the last few years to put myself out there again. I was in a completely different place in life the last time I did that. Generally speaking, I’m pretty sensitive to social media anyway so I don’t like being on here anymore than I need to be because, mental health. I rather touch grass. As years have passed and l’ve recovered from some major life changes, now is as good a time as ever to nip my reservations in the bud and share a little about myself. I’m feeling brave today so I should probably run with it. 🩷

I was beaming while working on these cuties. What fun it was to capture this adorable growing family at their beautiful home and hang by the creek. I’m obsessed with their whole vibe and how precious these turned out to be. I can’t be the only one who thinks so, right? 😍

It’s always so much fun to photograph friends and watch their families grow up. Traci is the sweetest soul and I was blessed to photograph her and her husband and the boys for a little anniversary treat.

If this is any indication of what senior sessions are going to look like this year, I’m here for it. Here’s River, down by the river. It’s been such a joy getting to meet people through photography. As more inquiries start to trickle in, it’s getting me pumped for the year ahead. 😎
