Hi Momma, I’m Kayla!

I’m the owner and lead photographer at Kayla Hunter Photography, a luxury photography studio nestled in Diberville, Mississippi. As a mother of five, I know just how quickly these precious moments pass. One day, you’re eagerly awaiting your baby’s arrival, feeling those tiny kicks, and the next, you’re rocking them to sleep, wondering where the time has gone. Before you know it, your newborn is sitting up, taking their first steps, and celebrating their first birthday. As a mom, I’ve felt the bittersweet mix of joy and nostalgia watching my own babies grow, and I understand the deep desire to freeze time—to hold onto those tiny fingers, sleepy smiles, and the overwhelming love you feel in these early days. That’s exactly why I do what I do.

My passion for photography was born from my own journey through motherhood. After having my children, I realized how priceless it is to have tangible memories that tell the story of those first fleeting moments. It’s what led me to create a photography experience designed just for moms—a place where you can slow down, soak in the beauty of your motherhood journey, and leave with stunning portraits that will bring you back to these moments for years to come. I specialize in maternity, newborn, and milestone photography, capturing the incredible transformation from pregnancy to baby’s first birthday. But my work is about more than just taking pictures—it’s about celebrating you, your baby, and the deep bond you share.

At my studio, I’ve carefully crafted an experience that allows moms to truly relax and enjoy the process. I know how overwhelming life can feel when you’re expecting or adjusting to a new baby, which is why I take care of every detail for you. From a fully stocked studio with high-end props, newborn outfits, and gorgeous maternity gowns to professional hair and makeup services that make you feel your absolute best, I make sure that your session is completely stress-free. I want you to feel pampered, confident, and completely at ease, knowing that you’re in expert hands.

Every session is designed with care and intention, ensuring that you leave with heirloom-quality images that you’ll cherish forever. These aren’t just photos—they’re memories, reminders of a time that passes far too quickly. My goal is to give you something truly special: portraits that bring you back to those tender moments, that make you smile every time you see them hanging in your home, and that your children will treasure when they’re older. Motherhood is a journey filled with love, strength, and beauty, and I’m honored to help you preserve it. Let’s create something unforgettable together!
