This is one of the strongest women I know. Over the years, I have been blessed to photograph many important moments in this sweet momma’s life. Kyla has been a close friend since my high school waitress days, and from her Senior photos up until her son’s newborn pictures.

I may be biased, since she happens to be one of my closest friends since I was 16 years old. But she has gone through crazy amounts of pain, and went through pregnancy and birth and these first few weeks on her own, all while being the best military wife. Being a part of all these amazing parts of her life is truly an honor. I respect her strength and kindness everyday.

If you can’t tell, Kyla is a pillar of light in my life, and I can’t wait to keep being a part of her journey. For now, enjoy these sweet and heartwarming photos of baby Peter Jay and his momma.
