Owner/Photographer  

Hi, I’m Kayla, the heart behind Driftwood Fern Photography Studio in Central Pennsylvania. I’m a visual storyteller who feels most at home in the quiet places where the world slows down. That connection to nature shapes the way I see light, color, and emotion, whether I’m working outdoors or in the studio.

Driftwood Fern is a veteran‑owned studio offering professional headshots, lifestyle sessions, studio portraits, and outdoor imagery. I blend technical craft with an easygoing presence so clients feel comfortable and genuinely themselves. Whether I’m shaping clean studio light, documenting a milestone, or chasing sunrise on a trail, my goal is simple: to create images that feel meaningful and true to you.

I believe great photography comes from slowing down, noticing the details, and creating space for real moments to unfold. Every session, indoors or out in the wild is crafted with authenticity and customized to your story, your comfort, and what matters most to you.

A few things about me…

My faith is my foundation

Dog mom to Charlie and the best adventure buddy

Chasing sunsets, waterfalls, and early‑morning light

Thrifting and finding pieces with a story- excites me

Coffee, yes please!

Beyond grateful for the incredible support system of friends and family who have stood with me through every chapter, from military life and working as a PT assistant to becoming a college student again and building my photography studio
