For couples:

β€œWherever you are, and whatever you do, be in love.” β€” Rumi

the experience of loving each other

Engagements. Anniversaries. Proposals. We’re-having-a-baby-togethers. Or, my favorite reason, just because.

In my sessions, we take our time and immerse ourselves in the things you love doing most. We step in the water. We stop for ice cream. We hang out like real people. The biggest gift I can give you is photos that look and feel like you, and I spend quality time with you so that I can tell your story genuinely.

Your session doesn’t start when I pick my camera, and it doesn’t end when we say goodbye at our cars. I encourage you to make it one big date. Take the day off. Pick each other’s outfits. Plan a dinner for after. Hold hands over the gear shift and sing all your favorite songs on the way over.

All collections include:

A note about proposals:

Because my couples sessions are rooted in the experience, I do not offer hidden or stranger proposals. All of my proposals are actual couples sessions wherein the question is asked after both partners are comfortable with my camera and me.

Kind Words

We had the privilege to do an engagement session with Ayla! I was expecting to be nervous since I have never done anything similar and my fiancΓ© and I can be really weird around cameras. But nothing further from the truth! The result was like we were modeling all our lives and it was all because how amazing, kind, knowledgeable, and professional she was! She made us feel so comfortable from the booking. She had everything ready and in beautiful presentations (style, locations, instructions, recommendations, you name it!) and she was super easy to keep in contact with. For that and the fact that she is such an authentic artist, I would love to recommend Ayla to anyone!
