about us

So the saying goes, “the days are long but the years are short”. As time passes us by, the everyday moments become more precious than diamonds. They become the memories we cherish forever. The newborn squeaks turn into the patter of tiny feet. The first words turn into the blissful sounds of children laughing. The bouncing ball down the hall turns into a conversation full of meaning with your teenager and, before long, the nest is emptied.  Our experienced and passionate Family team includes Kyla, Karina and Shanette. Kyla brings a certain kind of sparkle and an unparalleled experience to every shoot. An industry leader, Kyla’s wealth of experience and artistry extends beyond photography into other mediums including as professional dance, music and performance. She empowers her subjects to feel most comfortable in front of her lens in a signature style that is timeless, romantic and candid.  With a passion for family photography, and over a decade of experience across wedding, family and maternity coverage, Karina is a mother of two young boys and an expert in her field. Karina particularly loves capturing emotion and has had the privilege of journeying alongside families long term - from capturing the wedding, maternity milestones, to a complete family.  Documenting different stages of a child's life is one of Karina’s passions - as they change and grow, she loves to document stages of their lives to create incredibly special memories to hold onto forever more.  An emerging talent in her own right, Shanette enjoyed a wonderful and rewarding career in early childcare before joining the Love & Other family, Her past experience gives her an innate understanding of the inner workings of families, particularly those with young children. She masterfully maneuvers her way behind the lens, capturing moments missed by the naked eye. Shanette makes her clients feel at ease and at home in her company with her compassion and free, adventurous spirit.  Our Family & Lifestyle Packages document your unique family story of the ‘right now’. We will work with you to ensure the experience from your first email, to receiving your beautiful prints is as enjoyable, memorable and unique as your little (or big) family. Capture your memories and adorn your homes with those you love the most.
