I'm Kya, your dark romance reader, ice-cream loving, writer-in-waiting, thinks she's funny, maternity and wedding photographer who just wants to capture all the small details in life.

I was the kid that got put into the year-books as the most artistic. I was the one who wanted to take on the group projects by myself because I could cultivate all my ideas that I had into them. As a young child I remember going with my grandmother after school to her desk job, sitting on the side of her desk in her cubical and drawing beautiful pictures for her cubical and her co-workers. I wanted my art everywhere. I wanted people to see what I had to offer, even as a child.

Honestly, it didn't change much as I got older. I wanted to show people in my life whether it was my corporate job, my MLMs, my friends, my family that I could do everything, that I wanted everything for myself and my family that I have created.

I wanted more than a corporate, office desk job that had no windows. I longed for that!

My husband supported me since 2018 in all my crazy business ideas, all the money that I spent to start-up businesses. He knew I wanted something for myself, that I didn't have to go to work and be told what to do and that I could work with who I wanted to work with.

Then, I turned off my business adventures for 2 years. After a while of working in the corporate world and not having any side gigs, during my third pregnancy, I knew I wanted to stay home with my last baby. It was just the how.

How would I be able to do that? Well, I knew I wanted to put my creative side to use again. I grew up with photography in my family, in my bones, because my mother was a professional photographer. I would go to her studio late nights at SEARS Portrait Studio and watch her and help her, sometimes I would also be her little model.

I thought about it, did a ton of research on cameras, knew I was artistic enough and knew I loved photography anyway and that's when Kya Martin Photography was born (est. 2023).

I cannot be more thankful for my husband and my amazing family and their incredible support in this crazy ride with me!

Now I am a full time SAHM (stay at home mom) and I get to watch all these milestones I missed with my other two babies because I worked during those times.

Photography has opened a part of myself that I wouldn't have thought that it would've! I have become a completely different person during this season of my life and I love every moment of it!

I love all the new things I get to create with my wonderful clients. I love the way I can dictate my schedule. I love the way I can express myself through a creative out-lit and show everyone!

Being your photographer has been the best thing that has happened to me. I pray I get to continue to be more peoples photographer! I want to be part of all the big moments and small moments. Capturing all the details and witnessing all the unconditional love.

I'm here for it.

I'm your gal. :)
