Hi!  I am Kaia! Kaia means “Earth” in Norwegian and I live up to that by striving to live simply and self-sustainably.  My first word was “happy,” adventure is my middle name, outside in nature is my happy place, coaching my kids soccer teams brings me extreme joy, my favorite color is yellow, and I passionately homeschool my five kids.  I'm married to a stunningly handsome, ridiculously talented, and intensely loving musician husband. We have five spunky and sweet kiddos, some feathered friends, and a bunny, and we all live happily ever after in a brick house on a homestead in the land of central Tennessee.

I enjoyed photography as a kid toting a neon green film camera around on any adventures I could get my hands on.  I FELL IN LOVE with photography as a teenager photographing for our school yearbook.  I still love that great portraits tell a person's story, get a thrill from creating images that are not only memories but fine art, from working a "job" that is different everyday with meeting new people and exploring new places, and affords me the privilege of recording the miracle of birth. 

I am a portrait photographer (senior pictures, newborn photography, family photographer, boudoir photographer... ), wedding photographer, birth photographer, real estate photographer, and freelance photographer based in central Tennessee. I've been on the cover of Madison Magazine and BRAVA Magazine and also do work for GoDaddy Social and AirBnb.
