Kaley Kocinski, or Kaley from Kansas, as you may know her, is a wedding, elopement, engagement, editorial, and family photographer. Based on how many different types of sessions she does, you wouldn’t think she has a specialty… but she does. Kaley specializes in slow and intentional photography. Her focus is on human connection, light, and perspective. 

A quick browse of her work reveals a distinct style that’s been honed over years of welcoming new challenges, trying everything, and never letting herself get bored. She studied photography at university, started out shooting still lives for assignments, worked in retail for a bit, and eventually got booked for a friends’ wedding. The rest, as they say, is history. With a little bit of encouragement from her partner, she returned from their epic Scotland wedding with a fire under her bum and a readiness to bring her brand, Kaley from Kansas, into the world more fully. Already a successful wedding photographer in her own right, this spark of inspiration pulled together her love for design, minimalism, styling, and artful honest connection in a way that continues to inform what she does today.

In this episode, we dive into how she communicates such a distinct style across genres, where she finds her inspiration, and how she keeps the creative fire within burning bright.
