Negative Image Photography

Absolutely love working with Kayla! As a wedding planner I hold my recommended vendors to a very high standard, as they serve as an extension of my business and Kayla never disappoints. She’s fun to work with, professional, and so gifted! Kayla is a fantastic photographer and perfect for those looking to build a lasting relationship, from engagement to family, Kayla is a great choice to capture your families most special moments.

When we went for our engagement session, we discussed with Kayla that we would drive 3 hours from our location to her location. We didn’t hear a word from her after we decided on the meeting time (at least a week’s time). When we were halfway there, I let her know we were getting close. She then decides to tell us that she doesn’t want to do the session because of the weather. Me and my fiancé had been checking the weather all day, and rain was NOT in the forecast for our session time. It would be cleared up for hours by the time we got there. At the time Kayla was pregnant and said she had to cancel because she can’t slip and fall, which I TOTALLY understand, BUT she should have let us know AT LEAST 3 hours before our session time that she wanted to cancel, since she knew we were going way out of our way. The chance of rain had been in the forecast all week, so she had plenty of time to cancel, but instead waited until we were 1.5 hours away. And only said something because I messaged her first. We convinced her to at least meet us (which by her tone I could tell she didn’t really want to do) and we ended up doing the session because the ground wasn’t even slippery, since the rain stopped a while before we got there. But it felt awkward after the tense discussion on the drive there. The majority of the pictures turned out ok at best, a few being pretty good. Now, with COVID-19 going on, we decided to postpone our 6/27/20 wedding to next year. We really wanted to stick with her and give her another chance since we had already booked her and worked with her, but she proved yet again to be difficult to work with. When I asked the Saturdays she had available, she asked if we could change our wedding to a Friday since she will make more money off of new clients. This rubbed me the wrong way. I told her we want a Saturday. Then she said since her prices have drastically changed, we will have to sign a new contract. I thought maybe they had gone up $1000. No, she is now asking $5500 for her best package, and about $3500 for her second best package (the one we had). Our original price was $1400. We are not going to pay over $2000 more for ok pictures and a photographer who is rude and not easy to work with. The fact that we had to postpone our wedding, and she couldn’t even work with us to give us, is pretty harsh. I understand you are running a business but this is not how you treat customers, especially when they have already paid you their 50% deposit. I don’t understand how all of her reviews are good, which is partly why I’m writing this so people will know. Save your money and go to someone who is nice and doesn’t just care about money.

Kayla took our engagement pictures and she made it so easy! I have gotten so many compliments on the quality of the pictures! I cannot wait for my wedding because I know she will take awesome pictures that will help make that day last a lifetime in memories!

Kayla was amazing! She was so sweet and all of my guests loved her. If you’re looking for a photographer that will give you great photos AND has a great personality then this girl is for you 💕
