Traveling Family Adventure Photographer
Your family is its most authentic self when you’re placed somewhere that you play, explore, and feel free in the wild and under the golden hour skies.
Home can be anywhere. Most importantly, it’s with your people.

I’ll be your guide on your family’s greatest adventures, and show you the path to telling your story. My clients call me The Storyteller because I’ve been on so many adventures, and the National Parks and mountainous states have been my favorite session locations for many years. I have traveled by camper all across the United States with my husband and children, filling that wanderlust inside of me. Ask me about that one time a moose chased my husband… not kidding.
I reside in Nashville, TN, but I’m ready to go at a moment’s notice wherever your heart desires.
“INTO THE WILD I GO, LOSING MY WAY, FINDING MY SOUL.”

Meet Your Guide
hey there !
There is no one else, just us. I want you to look at my work and envision your family’s adventure story, being told as it is.
My work is where no time exists.
adventures
My heart tells me time can’t be stopped,
so travel with it, keeping company
with the evergreen moments,
lupine delights, mountainous climbs,
and crossing connections,
telling my story with each step,
and mapping my memories
with each print I leave behind.

-Alisha
"To say she captures our family perfectly just isn’t enough. She never disappoints, and I’m so incredibly thankful we found her. She makes every session fun and effortless. She brings the best out in us and our kids and I can see it in every single one of our photos."
"Kailani is such an amazing person and photographer with a heart of gold."
-Christina
"She always gets a smile out of my daughter and gives fantastic directions. I feel she genuinely wants to capture the individuality of each family, which isn’t an easy task. If you look at her work you will see how creative she is. Can’t recommend her enough!"
"Kailani has an awesome personality that can make anyone feel comfortable."
-Rachel
“I always feel totally relaxed and that my children are welcomed as they are and for who they are. This creates the perfect environment for genuine photos and authentic smiles! And this is all aside from the fact that Kailani is a true artist."
"Kailani is so warm and wonderful with my kids. She is easy going and accepting."
-Tasha
"Kailani is truly a gem to work with and an artist when it comes to capturing precious moments. Our first session was an adventure session at a waterfall and the photos took my breath away. It was so different from anything my family had captured and yet exactly what we needed!"
"I stumbled upon Little Bear Photography. At that moment, I didn't know how lucky I was!"
“Sometimes you have to travel a long way to find what is near.”

The stories I tell...
Documenting your adventures is very dear to me. I’m a fast-paced, excitable person with a passion for making you feel your best and making the session not even feel like a session. You’ll be too busy taking in the views of your surroundings or loved ones, and making memories.
Or, if you’d prefer to stay close to home or bring your newest adventure to my studio, we can create a lifestyle session that still tells your story exactly the way you want.
Just remember — Your story is beautiful in all its moments. Like a road trip, there will be pit stops, but that’s where the best memories are made.
