Hi there! My name is Layla
I’m a photographer born, raised, and based in Stockton, California. And I really love what I do. I’m a cat mom, a fiance😉, a matcha connoisseur, a Pinterest-board architect, and a romantic-comedy + musical lover (a huge inspiration behind all of my couples sessions).
When I’m not shooting, you’ll find me editing, thrifting, wedding planning (crazy I know.), working out, hanging with friends, or scrolling on Pinterest — and I’d love to be friends there, too.
If you’re looking for photos that feel real, relaxed, and full of heart — you’re in the right place, so welcome!
Lets connect!
Have something in mind or just want to know more info? I’d LOVE to connect.

"I have wanted to take pictures with my grandchildren for a long time now. They grow so fast and I wanted to take pics of them as children and young adults. Two of them are grown now, but Layla was able to capture their laughter, smiles, and funny faces they used to make as children. She brought us together with beautiful smiling faces as well as surprise action shots that I remember as they were growing up. The pictures were beautiful. Creative shots and nice backdrops made us look even better. The pictures were crisp and clear and she made it fun working with her. I’m already looking for another shoot when my son and daughter and my grandkids are available after the holidays. Thank you Layla!!! See you soon"

From our maternity shoot, to our baby shower, and even our very first Christmas photos as a family of four—each session has been nothing short of amazing. Layla has a true gift for making you feel comfortable and for capturing genuine, meaningful moments that we will cherish for a lifetime. Every photo tells a story, and we will treasure these memories forever. We couldn’t recommend Layla enough and look forward to many more milestones being captured through her lens. 📸✨"
