I’m Kayla, your Canadian photographer and the face behind Ninth Avenue Studios born and raised Canadian from Saskatchewan (the Canadian province most people cannot pronounce or spell). For as long as I can remember I have always been the quirky adventure seeker and hopeless romantic with a camera in her hand - it’s quite fitting.
I have been documenting life since 2019 and grew my passion for photographing love stories ever since. What started as a hobby turned into a full blown passion career. Capturing life as it is, in the moment and embracing chaos has always been my focus after a rather close look on how life is way too short to not have fun. Life is not perfect, I am not perfect, and no love story is perfect - SO HELL LET’S EMBRACE THAT!
Now, I hate talking about myself (even though I like to babble - guilty) but I am a quirky, firecracker that loves to embrace happiness, laughter and passion. I am the one who plays 90s hip hop and rap during a session and ask you to love on each other during it (how romantic right?). And pink and daisy’s are a permanent personality trait of mine - pretty fun hey?
But on the flip side, sorry to get sappy for a second - I started Ninth Avenue after I suddenly lost my best friend at the age of 19. His personality was the most loving, encouraging, and happy personality you could ever encounter, it was infectious. His heart sparked my love of capturing and documenting love just as it is. That means : no awkward poses, no prom poses and no stiffness are occurring in front of my camera!
I love to travel - my Fav travel destinations so far: New York City and Oregon but cannot wait to explore europe in 2025
If i am not editing or behind the camera you can catch me with a romance book in hand cozied on the couch!
I am a 5ft tall firecracker with all the smart ass remarks
Pink is my favorite personality trait
I am a Starbucks addict - a strawberry acai lemonade will always cheer me up
I am one of those people who thrives with all 5 love languages
Celebrity crush: Scott Eastwood & Matt Czuchry (like common the jawlines...)
I hate the taste of alcohol - but will indulge in Pina coladas, strawberry daiquiris or peach bellinis without hesitation
I was an esthetician for 8 years and went school for social work but decided to puruse photography instead!
I am a class A shopaholic (homesense - YES PLEASE)
