Hi there!
My name is Kayla McDaniel. I am a wife, mom of four kiddos. I am a follower of Jesus and an animal lover. We have a sweet pittie named Bruce and six Painted Desert Sheep. I am obsessed with beautiful landscapes and coffee. Fun fact, I was a Starbucks partner for about 14 years. Which is where my love for service derived from. We are based out of Riverside, California and will travel pretty much anywhere in Southern California. However, if you are out of state and would like the opportunity to work with me, please don't hesitate to ask. I'd love to meet you! I offer all types of portrait sessions, but I specifically love women's portraiture. I love photographing women through the most important times in their lives. Whether it be pregnancy, marriage, motherhood, or even just to capture a moment in time when they need help rediscovering themselves. I work with my clients to design a photoshoot that represents them and then together we create beautiful heirlooms to hand down to future generations. I would love to have the opportunity to create a beautiful portrait for you & your family. I promise it will be a photograph you will continue to love throughout the years.
My inspiration
This photo is just one of many that I have that inspire me. In frame, from left to right, is my aunt, my Omi, my great-great grandmother, my mom with her, and my great grandmother. This is four generations in a photograph that has outlived three of these beautiful women, and is now in the hands of the next generation. To me, photographs like this are so special not just in that moment but for years beyond it.

“Working with Kayla was so easy! She offered an in-home session, which was such a great way to capture memories in our newly purchased house and made my husband and me feel even more comfortable. All of her suggestions fit our style and vision of the family photos we wanted and we had fun in the process! She was receptive to our ideas and incorporated different poses along with candid photos throughout the session (and made sure to include our dog!).”
