My name is Kaia. Kaia means “Earth” in Norwegian and I live up to that by tree hugging, dog loving, and nature walking. My first word was “happy,” I still love to jump in puddles, I strive to live simply and self-sustainably, and my favorite color is yellow.

I am primarily a people photographer, portraits and weddings, but I graduated with an art degree and practice that by capturing the uniqueness I see in ordinary life. In my business I love serving my clients lovingly, creating a series of memories they can cherish forever, and making them my forever friends. I shoot honest photography – real people, real colors, and real life; this means the pictures I take are only edited as much as they have to be – color and contrast correction only with the occasional black and white conversion.

I am available for travel worldwide but do the majority of my photography in Wisconsin, Minnesota, and Illinois!
