So who's behind the camera?

That'd be me - Hey, I'm Kya.

Let me start off and say - all are welcome!

I'm a wife, mom of three, photographer, creative, and honestly... just a regular person behind it all.


I'm not the photographer who expects you to show up knowing how to pose or have everything perfectly planned. Because, as a mom myself, I know that's not real life. haha.


I'm especially drawn to weddings because there's just something about being there for such a huge, emotional, completely crazy day. I love the quiet moments before everything starts, the happy tears, the ugly laughs, the dance floor chaos, and all the little things happening around you that you might not even realize you'll want to remember.


I'm there to photograph the big stuff, obviously - but as I'm just as interested in the little things. Your dad seeing you for the first time. Your partner squeezing your hand. Your friends losing their minds on the dance floor. The grandma who refuses to miss a single song. Those are the pieces of the day that make your wedding yours.


And outside of weddings, I love photographing families, growing bellies, brand-new babies, and all the other seasons of life that go by way too quickly.


My approach is pretty simple: you be yourselves, enjoy your people, and let me worry about the pictures.


If you're awkward infant of a camera, you're in good company. If your kids are a little feral, EVEN BETTER! and if your wedding day ends up being a little messy, emotional, loud, and completely unpredictable? Honestly, that's probably my favorite kind.


I'm here for the real stuff.


My philosophy

Lasting memories through breathtaking, soulful imagery

Elegant couple posing before ornate wooden door, groom in black suit, bride in white gown, classic architectural setting.

During our lifetime, we have millions of memories but what's better than memories, is being able to physically look back on them. Every little detail, smell, and feeling resurfacing into your mind from the times that you hold so dear to you.

Testimonials

I highly recommend Kya if you need a professional photographer for your wedding day. She did a fantastic job of capturing all the special little moments of our big day and she really made sure to to work with us, getting all of our picture requests with time to spare. She was fun, personable, and was very flexible the day of our wedding. She worked hard, getting pictures of all the guests despite the chaos of working with our big crazy families. All the pictures turned out beautifully. Pricing was also very reasonable (much more affordable than others we'd consulted!). If we were to do it all again we'd choose Kya.

I couldn’t recommend Kya enough to anyone who needs photos taken especially for a wedding! Working with her for our day was absolutely perfect! She is so personal and was willing to help me out when I had a flower disaster! Overall, the sneak peeks turned that all around for us! The photos were perfect and looked exactly like they came from a Pinterest board! We spent the day with her and it felt like we knew her for years! Her communication is amazing and prices are perfect plus all of the things she includes!

We hired Kya for our wedding this past weekend, and it was one of the best decisions we made. Her communication leading up to the event was clear and organized, which made planning so much easier. On the wedding day, she was punctual, professional, and incredibly efficient while still making everyone feel comfortable in front of the camera. Kya captured both the big moments and the small, meaningful details that made our day special. If you’re considering booking Kya — do it. Her talent, calm presence, and attention to detail truly set her apart.

This is something I don’t usually do, however, I truly felt that Kya Martin is SO deserving of a review! I’ve seen many of her photos and from the verbal comments from so many, I actually referred her to a friend that was getting married. My friend booked her for her wedding after meeting her. The wedding was so lovely and I saw first hand Kya doing what she does so well! I’m pleased to say that everyone in the wedding and those that attended, did nothing but compliment her on how professional, unique, helpful, caring and kind she was throughout the whole day!  When we all got a peak at several of the wedding photos everyone said the same thing!! “These are fabulous!! What an awesome photographer she is!!”  I would recommend Kya to anyone planning a wedding! She did a fantastic job and everyone just loved her personality!

I have seen some of Kya's work because she has taken photos of some of my friends and also their families. I have always loved them and her vibe so I decided for our little ones first birthday I'd give her a shot. Well, I am so glad I did. She did such an amazing job. She made us feel comfortable and captured such great pictures for how fidgety and all over the place my little one is. I truly cannot be more happy. So if you're questioning or wondering if you should book her, DO IT! I can't thank her enough for capturing such a precious moment for us. I'll cherish these pictures forever. A top photographer for me, for sure!
