This is the real thing.

My focus is on the in between moments. The stolen kisses, quick glances, touches of comfort, and loud laughter followed by genuine smiles. While of course I’ll pose and direct throughout the session, my focus will be on those authentic moments because you deserve a gallery full of them.

Hi, Friend! 
I'm Kaylee.

meet me

Kaylee has been amazing each and every moment, since the very first time we met with her. We fell in love in with not only her photography style, but also her personality. Every step along the way she has been so great in meeting our wants and needs. During our wedding day she went above and beyond to take away the worries that we had and WOW did she do a great job capturing our now favorite memories. We could not be more thankful for Thistle & Roots and we will recommend her over and over again!

"We couldn't be more thankful"

I freaking love when you love what I do.

Kaylee was so supportive in the vision we had and made it a reality. She was impressive, stunningly professional, and just an overall delight during our session. She did so much more than just take our pictures... she left us with an energy that will spark every time we look at these photos. I am tearing up just typing this because these photos and memories are everything we wanted and so much more.

"These photos & memories are everything we wanted"

Choosing the right photographer can be sooo difficult. Finding Kaylee has been so incredible. She is so kind, creative and really listens to your vision. I have loved every session that I’ve done with Kaylee and look forward to doing many more! I mean… the photos speak for themselves. Her work is incredible and we’re so lucky to have found her!

"I mean... the photos speak for themselves"

Kaylee is honestly the best photographer i’ve come across!! She puts so much effort into her work and it shows because her art is INCREDIBLE!! She photographed my wedding and I couldn’t be happier with how the pictures turned out! I cannot stop looking at them and i’ve gotten so many compliments on how good they look!! Kaylee captured us and our wedding so perfectly, I am over the moon! 

"I am over the moon!"

We don’t think there are enough words to describe how much we LOVE Kaylee’s photography and business. Kaylee helped us in figuring out all of the finer details, and itinerary planning throughout the day. She answered all of our questions, and never, not once, made us feel stupid for not knowing something. She made us feel so comfortable during the picture taking process, and truly it felt like hanging out with an old friend the entire time. We felt so at ease when she took our photos because she gave continuous feedback and talked us through everything perfectly. Seeing the final results STILL takes our breath away. The pictures she captured look straight out of a romance movie, or a magazine. Kaylee will go above and beyond for ya’ll, and will capture the most meaningful moments. She captured special moments that we didn’t even notice until we looked at our photos. We would say to anyone who is considering working with Kaylee to DO IT!!! If ya’ll want timeless, candid, dreamy, romantic, photos that never go out of style, then choose Kaylee. We promise ya’ll won’t regret it!
