Moments that feel like you.
Couples, portrait & lifestyle photography
Happy Day! My name is Kaitlyn
I'm the girl behind BarnieKayPictures 🤍
I’m basically your photographer, hype girl, and creative partner all in one. I’ll fix your hair, gas you up, and say “wait that was SO cute” at least 47 times during your session.
Before we ever shoot, I’m already in full planning mode—Pinterest boards, outfit ideas, location vibes… send me everything. I love collaborating and making sure your photos feel exactly like you.
Outside of photography, I’m married to my best friend (highly recommend), working as a digital marketing strategist, and probably either at the gym or thinking about my next meal. Balance, right?
My goal is simple: create photos that feel natural, fun, and completely you—no awkward posing, no pressure, just a really good time and images you’ll actually love!
Frequently Asked Questions
Do you offer packages?
Yes! I offer a few different packages depending on the type of session you’re looking for.
Once you reach out, I’ll send over all the details so you can choose what fits best—no pressure, just options.
Do you help plan the shoot?
1000% yes!
Pinterest boards are basically my love language. Send me your ideas, thoughts, outfits, and we’ll build something together that feels exactly right.
How long does it take to get our photos back?
Your full gallery will be ready within [2–3 weeks]!
I know waiting is the hardest part, so I always try to get them to you as quickly as possible (while still making sure they’re perfect).
Do you help with location recommendations?
Yes! I’m always happy to suggest locations based on the style you’re going for.
Whether it’s something outdoors, in-home, or a specific look, we’ll find the perfect spot together.
What if I feel awkward in front of the camera?
Most of my clients say this before their session, and I promise you won’t stay awkward for long. I’ll guide you the whole time, give you prompts (not stiff poses), and probably hype you up more than you expected. By the end, it’ll feel way more like hanging out than a photoshoot.
Where are you located?
I’m based in Wilmington, NC and travel frequently—including Charlotte and surrounding areas.
