Mountains

My heart is happiest when I not only get to share this passion, but especially when I get to share it with those I love. Blake & Lauren are a very, very big part of mine and Rob’s life. Blake is Rob’s best friend. Lauren and I torture them about their “bromance” but it is honestly one of the most sincere friendships I have ever witnessed. They would do anything for each other, so when Blake told Rob that he was going to propose to Lauren (because they can’t keep any secrets from each other) I think I got just as excited as when Rob proposed to me. 😉

I was absolutely over the moon when Blake & Lauren took me up on my offer to shoot their engagement pictures. I was nervous…I mean butterflies in your belly, hand sweating while holding the camera nervous. I wanted them to have the best pictures I could possibly give them, not only as an engagement present, but because I know those will be images that they look back on for years!

I’m in LUST with these images! Ahhh, they honestly just make me super giddy! Not only was the weather absolutely perfect (it poured rain before the session and the Smokey Mountains totally lived up to their name) but backdrop was just to die for. I had never been to Cades’ Cove before, but after this visit, I would be more than happy to go again and again!

This image makes my heart skip. I feel like it should be my poster child of Kayla F Photography I love it so much!

Lauren is the free bird in my life. She is whimsical, thoughtful, and incredibly down to Earth. When she walked over and started picking flowers I think I even called her my little flower child. She eventually stuck them in her hair and it couldn’t have been more fitting.

Swoon! Seriously…

Lauren is such a beauty! I can’t wait to see how stunning she is going to be at their wedding!

We ended our session and on the way out of Cades’ Cove we met this Momma and her adorable 3 (yes THREE) cubs! East TN never disappoints!

July can’t get here fast enough! Rob and I are more than excited to celebrate and enjoy their wedding festivities…tears will definitely be shed (at least by Rob and Blake). 🙂

Smiles,

I am so incredibly excited to share this next session. Vaishali and Salt are the sweetest, most sincere couple I have met in quite a while. The way Salt looks at Vaishali had me squealing and jumping around with excitement the entire session! I love seeing couple so incredibly in love and especially love having them in front of my camera! It makes my job SO easy…and FUN! 😀

So Vaishali contacted me about doing her engagement session. She and Salt wanted to do it somewhere that meant a lot to them and Fall Creek Falls was perfect! This just so happened to be the spot that Salt proposed! AND not only did he propose here, but the day that worked the best for both of us just so happened to be their anniversary!!! Meant to be?? I think so!

As we were driving up to Fall Creek Falls, I had to constantly tell myself to stop looking at the trees and concentrate on the road! The leaves were beautiful! Since we were up on the plateau, the leaves were about 2 weeks ahead of the leaves here in Knoxville and I swear they were ten times as vibrant! There wasn’t a brown tree in sight! So mix in beautiful colors, Salt and Vaishali’s outfits and some beautiful waterfalls and you get this amazing session! I couldn’t be happier hope to see Vaishali and Salt soon! 😀

A little rain never hurt anyone…until it started to pour. Lol!

Probably one of my favorites of the session. I love how sincere they both are with each other! 😀

Salt lead Vaishali on a treasure hunt for his proposal. Vaishali had no idea and hoped that at the end there would be a picnic because she was so hungry! Love them!!!!
