portraits - events - creative services
Hi, I'm Kayla! I'm a Maryland-based professional photographer who enjoys photographing a little of everything. Originally from West Virginia, I moved to Washington DC in 2012 after completing my Bachelors of Fine Arts with a concentration in Photography and Computer Imagery from Shepherd University (Shepherdstown, WV). Since then, I have been around DC and Maryland, and currently based in Westminster, MD.
2012 - 2015
I worked for Lifetouch National School Studios as a portrait photographer for Elementary, Underclass, and Senior school portraits for Maryland, DC, Virginia, and Pennsylvania schools.
2015 - 2022
I joined Stone Photography Inc (Bethesda, MD) where I was able to expand my professional photography experience from primarily school portraits to family and group portraiture, special events (graduations, proms, mitzvahs), corporate branding & headshots, sports, performing arts performances.
2022 - Present
My primary professional focus is on covering special events, weddings, and family portraits. As of April 2024, Kayla Mahood Photography is a registered trade name under Mahood Creative Solutions, LLC. I focus on candid coverage of guests, capturing moments of joy and connection, and small details of the day to look back on for years.
