Ayla Maisley

It is true that I have perfected the delicate balance of guiding you through angles, positions, and my greatest jokes, and then retreating into the bushes to get those epic alone-in-the-wilderness images. This is because I have been doing this for a long time, and I have a lot of experience. In all seriousness, you should come to me in whatever state you are in. I'll take care of everything else; all you have to do is bring your courageous, brilliant, and fearless self. I'll take care of the rest. Before relocating to the mountains I grew up in in 2021, I spent the previous 25 years in the suburbs of Denver, the next 10 years in Portland, and the last 5 years in Chicago. I've been fortunate enough to travel across the country with my family and see a total of 28 states and 25 national parks. No, I haven't gone to Alaska. Yes, I have it on my to-do list. Both beer and pasta are among my top culinary and drinking preferences. My entire family has a history of gluten intolerance. Every day, I put my life in jeopardy. On the surface, I am a photographer who specializes in couples portraiture using both digital and film cameras. I go from the mountains to the plains to photograph small weddings and elopements using a variety of photographic formats and formats ranging from digital to polaroid to 35mm to medium format. To get to the bottom of it, I'm all about folks who love who they love and love to express it. That's really all that matters to me. I will be there to document every milestone in your relationship, from the first day you started dating to the moment you shared your first kiss as a married couple, and I will celebrate you both to the fullest.
