About

Editorial photography for boutique accommodation, artists, makers & creative businesses

Hi, I'm Kaiya.

Rooted in Place.

Guided by Story.

Based in Daylesford, Victoria, I focus on editorial photography for boutique accommodation, artists, makers and creative businesses.


Guided by a love of thoughtful design and meaningful stories, each project explores the connection between people, place and purpose.


Whether documenting a handcrafted interior, an artist in their studio or a business rooted in community, I'm always looking for the details that reveal character, connection and a sense of place.
