More than a photographer

Kayla was not only a wonderful & easy going photographer. She also went above and beyond to make sure everything was just perfect the night of the wedding, from handling our photo booth troubles to having emergency bandaids. Highly recommend if you want more of a “best friend” feel with your photographer.

Amazing Photographer!

Kayla was super professional and took amazing pictures at our micro wedding! We also did an engagement shoot that turned out gorgeous. I will definitely be keeping her information on hand for any other pictures I would like to get done in the future.

Kayla Kurkowski
Owner // Photographer

I am Kayla, the owner of Clever Candid Photography! If you stop by my house at any given moment, you will find me lounging around in leggings, an oversized t-shirt and putzing around with some DIY I found on Pinterest and are determined to make. I married the love of my life in September of 2016 in our backyard! Ken and I enjoy adventuring and traveling the world. We always seem to end up back in Asia about every 2 years. I am super tall so it is pretty slim to ever see me in heels. Honestly, I am barefoot any chance I get. I grew up as a Michigan Horse girl so my roots run deep in rural Michigan. I found myself always drawn back to photography over and over again through all of the jobs I have ever had. I could go on and on about the cheesiness of how much I love photography but let's be real your here because you already knew that! I want to personally say thank you for trusting me with all of your precious moments!
