The Person Behind the Camera

Rooted in the DMV. Driven by intention. Focused on you.

Hi, I’m Kayla—the eye behind the lens and the heart behind Focal & Found.


I’m based in the DMV and work with clients across D.C., Maryland, and Virginia—from corporate teams and creatives to local businesses and solo founders. Whether you need a one-time shoot or ongoing content, I’d love to collaborate.

my why

I started this work with one belief: every person, every business, every moment deserves to be the focal point. Whether I’m photographing a product launch, a packed event, or quiet portraits for a personal brand, I’m here to help you feel confident in how you’re seen—and proud of what you’re building.

my approach

My style is modern, story-first, and grounded in real connection. I care about the light, the composition, and the feeling behind the frame. I don’t believe in over-posing or over-producing. Instead, I aim for images that feel true to you—and help you show up well in the places that matter most.
