WELCOME TO KAYLA LEIGH PHOTOGRAPHY

I’m Kayla — Sydney Newborn + Family Photographer, mum of two boys who never stop moving, and the kind of person who somehow ends up holding your baby and becoming best friends with your kids ten minutes into the session. 

This all started after I walked away from running a CrossFit gym (covid made me do it) and found myself with a camera in one hand and a baby in the other. 

When my youngest baby got sick, everything changed. 

I didn’t just want photos. I needed them.

And not just any kind.. I needed the type of photos that remind you what truly matters in the seasons of your life that are forever slipping through your fingers. 

This isn’t just a job for me..

It’s my way of living my purpose –  to make sure families like yours don’t miss the stuff that’s hardest to see when you’re in the absolute thick of it.

MEET THE PHOTOGRAPHER

Hey! I'm Kay!

I know why you’re here..

And it’s not for perfectly curated outfits and photos with everyone forced to sit still and behave like you’re getting photos in the mall in the 1990s.

You’re here because you want evidence.

Evidence that in these days that blur from one to the next you were loving them with all you’ve got.

Whether you’re glued to the couch with a feeding baby, wiping bums or packing lunchboxes,  you’re doing the most important job of your life, without even realising it.

And although some days it doesn’t feel that special, deep down you know it is and you’re scared you’re going to forget it.

That’s the stuff. That’s why you’re here.

Because it might not feel special in the moment - but later, it will be everything.
