Clocked in 🤝 clocked out Praise God for a life filled with so much joy in & out of office!!!

See you soon spring grads 😉 Less than a month!!!

I think we can all agree that your venue choice is a big part of planning your wedding… but here’s why it actually matters. A venue does more than just look nice. It changes the light, sets the pace of the day, and really affects how everything flows. It also sets the tone for your photos! When the space feels like “you,” the images end up feeling natural and easy. Even with the same timeline, same season, or same weather, two couples’ photos can feel totally different, all because of the space they’re in. Pick a venue that feels like you, and your photos will feel like you too 🕊️⛪️🤍 Photography: @kyla.taylor.photography Planner: @dzinesweddings Venue: @emersonfieldsvenue Bridal Gown: @breezebridal Alterations: @designsxnadine Bridesmaid Attire: @parkandfifthco Groom & Groomsmen Attire: @josabank Jeweler: @betzjewelers Hair: @designsbyannac Makeup: @makeupbymaggie727 Transportation: Good Guys Shuttle Florist: @mutigergarden Catering: @raspberrys_bbq Dessert: @cakesbykristina19 DJ: @topsoundmobile Rentals: @a.b.heltonfinelinenrentals Harpist: @maria_duhova_trevor_harp

Sun shining just for Allison & Ross 🌅✨📸

A solo photo moment for one of my fave ever newborn photos!!! How many times do you get a one week old AND a toddler smiling??? At the same time? Unheard of. This is the magic of slow, cozy, in-home newborn sessions 💛

Introducing a new series!!! Wedding days as they were felt 🤍 This is a series where I will walk through wedding days in photos, capturing not just how it looked, but how it felt.  The moments you plan for, the ones you don’t, and everything in between. Each wedding, seen for what made it uniquely theirs! I just love my wedding couples and all of their stories hold such a special place in my heart!!! So I am SO excited to show them off a little more.  Starting with Gabby & Gavin 📸 VENDORS ⬇️ Venue: @thecallawayjewel Wedding Planner: Taunia Rau Photographer: @kyla.taylor.photography Videographer: @jamessmithfilms Florist: @carleyjeansfloral Catering: Come to the Table Catering DJ: @djsharkattackcomo Hair Stylist: @upliftedbride , @beautybypaigecreasy Makeup Artist: @msmakeupartistry_ Lighting: @swprodesigns Rentals: @pretty.lil.things Esthetician: presleyskincarellc.lesley Wedding Dress: @breezebridal Alterations: @designsxnadine Bridesmaid Dresses: @azazieofficial Groom & Groomsmen Attire: @themoderngroom_ Bride’s Rings: @bridgetchristiandesigns Groom’s Ring: @buchroeders Couple’s Cake: @nashcakesandbakes Dessert: Coldstone Creamery Jefferson City

Spring minis are OPEN 🌻 Link in bio to snag your spot! What started eight years ago as a way to practice family photos has turned into one of the most meaningful parts of KTP. Getting to watch families grow year after year, love on your sweet kiddos, and catch up with so many of you is truly the best!!! Thank you for coming back and letting me tell your stories season after season 🫶🏻

Spring minis are LIVE for those on my waitlist 🌸 Public booking opens this Wednesday and I’m counting down the days until sunshine + family sessions again!

Champagne pop = officially in your grad era 🍾🎓 Spring grad sessions are open and filling up! I can’t wait to celebrate you & everything you’ve worked for. kylataylor.com/mizzou-grads

In-home newborn sessions hit different (especially when it’s for my best friends!!!) 🏡💓 Watching Ashley go through pregnancy and put this nursery together piece by piece made photographing these feel extra meaningful. So many months spent dreaming about life with sweet little Cece!!! It also reminded me that this is true for every newborn session I photograph. There is so much love, anticipation, and intention poured into these homes long before baby arrives. And then one little babe shows up and totally completes the picture (and naturally steals the show 😉)

19 degrees looks good on you two ❄

Spring grads… IT’S YOUR TURN 🐯🎓🍾 Sessions are officially open and this season is about to be unreal! Book now at kylataylor.com/mizzou-grads 💛

One photographer, 12 weddings 💍📸 Consistent style, personalized storytelling ✨ Because your love deserves to look like you 🤍

Your photog for life 👏 I’ve had the absolute honor of capturing Ben & Hannah’s biggest moments since 2021 – from engagement, to wedding, to their first years of marriage, to a long-awaited pregnancy, and now the arrival of sweet baby Camden 🤍 Being invited into their home for newborn photos and seeing so many of the images we’ve created together hanging on their walls was such a full-circle moment for me. I never take the job of preserving your memories lightly, this stuff truly matters to me. Some sweet words from Hannah: “Kyla is the absolute best to work with! She has perfectly captured every phase of our life together in photos I will cherish forever. She can make two awkward people feel at ease in front of the camera, and she always goes above and beyond to get the best results!”

Morning engagement session… yes, really 😉✨ Early sessions can get a bad rap, but golden hour isn’t just an evening thing. In fact, about half of my sessions have that early wake up call! Morning sessions have a special kind of magic! Soft light, fewer distractions, a slow pace (plus a little coffee to wake us up ☕️) They are truly some of my faves! I first met Megan & Kevin during their grad photos, and we instantly clicked. Since then, I’ve had the joy of documenting their extended family, their engagement, and soon their wedding 🤍

✨ Let’s take senior pictures that actually feel like YOU ✨ My senior sessions are designed to be fun, relaxed, and completely personalized! From outfit planning to locations that feel like you. No awkward posing, just genuine moments and photos that you’ll feel great in! Brooke chose to take her senior photos at Mizzou (where she’ll be going to college in the fall!), a coffee shop & a nature area! Our session was so fun & laid back! Class of 2027 👀 Waitlist is open! Message me with your name, school, email & phone number if you want to be on it! seniors on the waitlist will get priority booking for the spring & fall! ⭐️

Being behind the camera hits a little different when it’s your own family 🥹 2025 was packed FULL of milestones for mine. Swipe to see some of the highlights I was able to photograph! Wouldn’t trade capturing these moments for anything ❤️

Hi, I’m Kyla 👋🏻 A Columbia, MO photographer passionate about telling stories through every stage of life. With over a decade behind the camera, I focus on authentic moments, meaningful connections, and photos that feel natural, vibrant, and timeless. When I’m not behind the camera, I am staying busy with my boys – my husband Noah, my 2-year old Case, my 1-year old Logan, and my two golden retrievers, Winston and Copper 🦮🦮 Being invited into your story is something I never take for granted & I’m so grateful you’re here. 2026 is shaping up to be the best year yet ✨

Wow oh wow!!! Am I SO excited to finally share this with you!!! 🎉✨ New year, new KTP. Introducing the refreshed brand of Kyla Taylor Photography 📸💫💛 It’s been a long time since my brand truly felt like me and the work I create. You know how it goes, one thing gets put on the back burner and suddenly… years pass 😅 As a former graphic design girly, I cringed a little every time I sent someone to my website or signed an email with my old logo (dramatic? yes. accurate? also yes 🙋‍♀️). One of my biggest goals this year was to realign my brand with what KTP has grown into – intentional, inviting, and joyful. And naturally, I waited until the very last day of the year to launch it 😂 BUT IT’S HERE!!!! Enter my sister, the incredibly talented @izzygstudio , who somehow knew exactly what I needed. She designed my new favorite logo EVER, created a color palette that perfectly complements my editing, and brought everything together in a way that feels so aligned and intentional. Shameless plug because she deserves it—she’s amazing at what she does and just graduated with her graphic design degree from Mizzou. Hire her. Truly. 👏 I could go on and on about how excited I am, but I’ll leave it at this—go check out the new site, make yourself at home, and tell me what you think 💛✨ Link in bio!!!

KTP 2025 in review ⏮️ My favorite year yet!!! And truly, it’s because of YOU - my wonderful, amazing & loyal clients! PS - Stay tuned for new branding & new website launching TOMORROW! 🤩 Can’t wait to share all the behind the scenes work that’s been going on!

One year ago today we were celebrating big at the Atrium! All the love to you Grant & Avery on your first anniversary 🫶

My very favorite kind of before & afters 🥹🥹 The very, very best part of my job is knowing & loving my clients through all their life changes! I am just so excited for Chelle & Alex and can’t wait to meet the newest member of the fam 💗

Choosing your bridesmaids? A few things to keep in mind: 💗 Choose connection over obligation. Pick the people who truly show up for you (not just the ones you feel you “should” include) 💗 Think long-term. These photos last a lifetime!! Choose friends who will still feel like family 20 years down the road! 💗 Smaller can be sweeter. A big group isn’t a must. It’s about meaning, not numbers! The people standing next to you should feel like home!!!

The dreamiest photos can be made with the wildest of toddlers, I promise!!! Callahan ran around, explored & made silly faces in typical 2-year-old fashion. And guess what? That’s exactly what made the session so magical. ✨ With littles, it’s never about perfect poses (they can be hard to come by sometimes!) It’s about meeting them where they’re at, chasing the giggles, and catching those real, joy-filled moments along the way. As your photog, I don’t complete fight the chaos! It’s about embracing it and capturing your family in exactly the season you’re in! Also huge shoutout to @shelby_brianne, the most cool & collected soon-to-be mom of two around! And of course Kasey for being the designated toddler wrangler 🤠

A couple of my faves are welcoming a sure-to-be new fave of mine soon!!!! Love love love capturing all their favorite moments 🤍

So many intentional details put into this day that made it really, really special! Grateful for all the vendors that went above & beyond to make it a stand out event!

First couple of weeks of grad photos have been so fun so here’s a few highlights from the past week(ish)!!! @mizzou your campus makes it easy!

The best news that changes everything!!! Thank you, Jesus! Happy Easter from our family 💙

What a wedding! Not going to be over this day for a while! Riley & Jack’s wedding was filled with so much love, laughter, and happy tears—plus a little extra wind for dramatic veil moments (thank you, nature). From start to finish, it was one of those days where you could feel the joy buzzing in the air. These two are genuinely kind, thoughtful, and just so fun to be around—and they’re clearly crazy about each other! Cheers to The Kavanaughs!!!

IT’S SPRINGTIME BABY! Kicking off my spring weddings today at the one, the only @emersonfieldsvenue 🩵 Truly a venue that does it all - can’t wait to capture photos in so many of my fave spots! And a little spring throwback to Elizabeth & Jake’s beautiful wedding day at EF last year 🌸

Absolutely loving all the COLOR being incorporated into my weddings lately! It brings so much energy, joy, and personality into all the photos and just makes me so dang happy! Pro fun, colorful bouquets & wedding details always!!!! 🌸🌺🌼

Five more family spring mini sessions remaining and then my books are CLOSED until September 💗 I have such a fun, stacked spring ahead and am so excited to get into the swing of things! Book a spring mini @ kylataylor.com/spring-minis Email me at contact@kylataylor.com to get on the fall mini waitlist (Sept-Nov!)

Take it from a mom who now has a 2 year old & baby - capturing in-home newborn photos with a toddler can be a little unpredictable! It will 1000% look different than taking newborn photos with your first baby! My best tips to you: 1️⃣ Embrace the Chaos - Not every shot will be picture-perfect, and that’s okay! They will absolutely capture YOUR fam the way you are in this season! That is what I aim my newborn sessions to be! And trust me, it will create the photos that give you the best memories!!! 2️⃣ Trust you photog!!! - I can’t tell you how many times I leave a session where parents are worried they don’t get one “good” photo (and are surprised when they get back a full gallery of them!) We know how to get the in between moments - relax, soak in the time with you little kids & know that your photog is directing you in the best way!

One year ago today we were eating pizza on the steps of the capitol 🍕 and celebrating the marriage of the very best & goofiest couple! Happy anni Syd & Carson!!!

Our Case Monkey is TWO!!!! The time has gone by incredibly fast. We are in awe of the kid God is shaping Case to be. He is happy, silly, caring & creative. He loves getting to the bottom of how things work and is so much fun to be around! He has fallen right into the big brother role this year and is all about giving Logan constant hugs & kisses. He’s talking more and more and is really starting to tell us exactly what he is thinking! Our house is always messy, busy & loud thanks to Case! We wouldn’t trade this time for anything. We thank God that we get to be his parents!!! “He’s just the best” is a phrase we say to each other daily! I wanted to capture some of Case’s favorite things to remember this season! Legos, markers, trucks, dinosaurs & books are the things we live by in this household!

Senior photo tip of the day: 👏Bring 👏The 👏Props 👏 Truly I think props get SUCH a bad rep with senior photos. And I get it!! You think props and think super cheesy, over posed & awkward photos 🫣 But take it from Tillie! Just three props brought so much personality & variety to 15 minute field photos. In her bag of tricks: 💐 Flowers!!! I think every kind of session could benefit from some fresh blooms 🪑A vintage chair! Obsessed with this & it added so much variety to the poses we could do! 🎉 Confetti!!! Always a hit. Just make sure to get biodegradable versions if you want to pop it outside! Senior photo bookings for this spring open up on Tuesday!! Can’t wait to meet you all this year!

Margot wants you to know SPRING MINIS ARE OPEN!!!! Book now @ kylataylor.com/spring-minis This year they will be hosted at shelter, grindstone & forum. Can’t wait to capture all of my favorite families 🌸💗

IT’S SPRING TIME BABY!!!! Aka my fave season of them all! Give me all the colorful blooms, longer days, perfect temps and best photoshoots! And if the wind & rain can chill out a little this year that would be great too!!!!

Starting a family of our own has given me all the more passion for capturing these moments for other fams!!! Your crew, exactly as you are ☀️ I’m fully booked for the remainder of the year, but make sure to get on my spring mini waitlist for your own family session! Also yearly announcement that I just really love the Wright fam!!!

“I’m envisioning classy engagement photos, but also would like to end the session with tacos at El Oso... I know it might sound a little odd, but I think it will be fun!” ⬆️ A quick little flashback to Milaynie’s email a couple of months ago. And OF COURSE we made her dream a reality and night capped our engagement session with tacos & a big ol marg! 🎉

Y’ALL. My seniors this year have just been out here killing the game! The hair. The makeup. The outfits. The confidence! 👏 My girl Campbell absolutely perfected the dress twirl in the early morning golden lighting ☀️ (very arguably my favorite time to take photos!!!)

Hi friends!! A quick little note that I am fully booked for the remainder of the year! I am so grateful for all my clients and cannot believe I had to close my books at the end of July this year!!! You guys show me so much love and support and my business would be nothing without you ❤️ 2024 has been one for the books! That being said my maternity leave is right around the corner! We cannot wait to meet Baby #2 in November! I will be taking on regular sessions starting back in March so feel free to email me to get on the books or get on a waitlist for family minis/grads/senior sessions in 2025! Weekend weddings for 2025 are booked as well - but I still have availability for a few weekday weddings & elopements! That’s it for the little update - stay tuned for some session highlights still being posted this year!
