It's me! Kayla!
I'm the owner of Locke Photography and the human behind The Chrysalis Collective. And I’m really glad you’re here. 🤍
You may have noticed that things shifted around here. And whew, dudes... do I have feelings about it. I’m so proud of what I’ve built, the incredible educators who came alongside me, and the space we created for photographers to learn and grow.
But life be shifting... as it does.
Between now homeschooling my kids, my husband traveling for work, and just… being a human in this season, it’s clear I need to adjust my workload a bit.
So while it literally felt like my heart cracked as we said goodbye to the courses that had a space here a The Chrysalis Collective, I know it was the right call for my family and I right now (even if my emotions needed a minute to catch up).
The good news? I’m not disappearing! I’ll be offering 1:1s again this year and still hosting shootouts—so stay tuned for those. ✨ And the Editing Academy is staying online, so you can still be and become a member with us over there!
Creating The Chrysalis Collective has been such an honor, and I’m incredibly proud of it, and every single person who’s been a part of it. Thank you for showing up and supporting this space!
Truly—thank you. Love you, mean it.
—Kayla
