my passion
HEY THERE
HEY THERE
I’M KAILANI!
I began like so many other family photographers, inspired by my children. I loved to capture moments of them as babies, and that eventually grew into starting this business. I had dabbled in photography before having them (live music/concert photography) and studied graphic design, as well as attending some local photography classes, but nothing ignited my soul more than traveling the outdoors… so, adventure photography has been my passion ever since.

Little Bear Photography was born to scratch that wild wanderlust itch that I have. It is in the name. It paws at my heart. It is a beast that encompasses love, wander, and adventure.
It is my passion to take your family on whatever adventure your heart desires, and be here to tell the story.

Have I sold you on the idea that home is where your family is, so let’s pack our bags?
Your story is waiting to be told. Will you let me be your guide? Your family is about to look badass out there.

"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!"
