I'M CAYLA
I am the go to maternity and empowerment photographer. I am a Fiancé, a Mama, a Sister, a Bonus Mama and an all round good time. I am a social butterfly, talking to people is one of my love languages (if that is even a thing) making people feel good about themselves and laugh and have a good time makes me happy.
Time is precious and you have a story that deserves to be told. Whether its empowering you through your single boss b**** era, your pregnant and need some help showcasing how stunning you are or need some extra love and support, or you have just had your baby and you got tired eyes but a whole lot of love to show off, or you just want to update your family photographs because the kids are just growing up too quickly.
I want to be there for it all.
You deserve to be in the photographs, you deserve to have your story documented.

I live in Southland, New Zealand but I am originally from Western Australia, along the beautiful coast where we see the sun set over the ocean. I lived there for 30 years before packing up and coming to my favourite place in the world with my family.
New Zealand, My new home. My forever home? We will see, only time will tell... Our plan is just to see where the road takes us and not put any pressure on ourselves.
I have two gorgeous daughters Amara and Malia and one beautiful bonus daughter Niwareka.
Raising girls is hard work, don't believe anyone who says other wise! The reward is worth it though, knowing our girls know the standard of love and kindness they should receive and not accepting anything less. Teaching them to test the boundaries, make mistakes, defend themselves, speak their mind, to be honest, kind, caring and loving to everyone.
I wouldn't be against them holding off their attitude till they were older... I don't particularly love grey hair on me.
I have had two births my first was an unnecessary caesarean section which caused me to have a lot of depression and not enjoy my new world of being a mama. It took two years and of lots of research before I was willing to have another baby. While I was pregnant with my second daughter I did a lot of healing. I gave birth to her via an unmedicated VBAC. I took control of my body and pregnancy. My trauma from my first birth was healed instantly after having my VBAC. Taking back my power is what has made me love doing maternity sessions. Empowering women and helping them be in control of their pregnancy no matter which way you want to give birth is something I feel very strongly about. I want women to know they are absolutely incredible, beautiful, strong, kind and so many more things. We tend to forget that about ourselves while we are busy being mama.
