Hi, I’m Kayla.
I’m so glad you’re here!
I’m the photographer behind the lens at DiscoverDiss Photography, based in Austin, TX. I document people and moments the way they feel— honest, imperfect, and full of meaning.
I believe the best photos are captured in the pauses, not uncomfortable posing or forced smiles. I pay attention to the little things. Like the way your little one wraps their hand a bit tighter around your finger, the laughter that erupts between siblings out of nowhere, or the way your partner glances at you in awe. It’s the quiet glimmers that pass quickly unless someone is paying close attention.
That’s where I come in.

My approach to photography is slow, intentional, and deeply people-focused.
Whether I’m photographing a family, a portrait session, or an event, I create space for you to be yourself. I’ll guide you when needed, but I never rush or over-direct. You don’t need to worry about what to do with your hands or how to stand. I’ve got you!
What matters most to me is that you walk away feeling comfortable, seen, and genuinely excited about your images.

Photography became important to me because it allows us to hold onto moments we didn’t realize would matter so much later.
The older I get, the more I understand how quickly seasons change — families grow, relationships evolve, and everyday moments become memories. My work is rooted in preserving those moments before they slip quietly into the past.
I’m drawn to warmth, connection, and storytelling. I photograph with the belief that your life doesn’t need to be perfect to be worth remembering.

When you work with me, you can expect:
A calm, supportive presence during your session
Gentle direction without stiff posing
A relaxed experience that feels natural, not awkward
Images that feel timeless and emotionally true
I welcome families with energetic kids, individuals who feel nervous in front of the camera, and events that unfold beautifully and imperfectly.
You don’t have to show up any certain way — just as you are.

I’m based in Austin, TX, and service surrounding areas such as Pflugerville, Round Rock, and Cedar Park. I am available for travel on a case-by-case basis.
If you’re planning something meaningful and want it documented with care, I’d love to be part of it.
If my work resonates with you, I’d love to hear your story and learn what you’re hoping to capture.
