HI, I'm Ky!
your photographer
I'm a Tampa-based portrait photographer that's been capturing love-filled memories all over the world for more than 4 years!
An optimistic and energetic spirit, I'm here to make sure you look and feel your best during the most important moments of your life.
I specialize in capturing the moments that get overlooked, the good times that get forgotten. From uncontrollable laughter to happiness that moves you to tears - to me, there's nothing better than the candid, raw emotions of the moment.
how do you want to remember your life's biggest moments?
As a photographer, I get to choose how the world remembers its memories through my work - a privilege that I don't take for granted.
With every shoot, I want to spread optimism and positivity to the world. I want our lives to be remembered for the love we share, the beauty we exhibit, the culture we create, and the joy we give.

USF '24 Grad
“My graduation pictures that were taken by KARI Candids, are better than I could ever ask for! I felt so comfortable during my photoshoot, had some laughs and whenever I needed some direction on what to do, I was given great direction! I suggest to anyone who would love photos from KARI Candids to book with them IMMEDIATELY! The pictures came out so amazing and couldn't have asked for a more perfect photographer for my grad pictures!”

Two-time client
“10/10 experience - calm, joyful & professional. Will get you out of your comfort zone if you have any nerves, you'll surprise yourself with the fun you'll have. I booked KARI for both my sister's graduation shoot and for my professional headshot photos and couldn't be happier with the service received as the person booking/person being photographed!”

Headshots
“Ky did an amazing job with my headshots! He was so quick to get back to me and had the photos ready in no time. The whole process was incredibly easy and relaxing – Ky was polite, professional, and gave great direction to make sure the lighting and my poses were perfect. As someone who isn’t very photogenic, I felt completely comfortable, and his attention to detail really shows in the photos. I’m incredibly happy with how they turned out and couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Highly recommend!”
