I’m Kiarra, but I go by Kia for short (like the car!). I’m a St. Cloud-based photographer who fell in love with photography my sophomore year of high school. I married my high school sweetheart, Dreydin, in 2024, and while we don’t have our own kiddos yet, we love spending time with our nieces and nephews.
I feel like every wedding day is its own romance movie, and my goal is to capture it as if it were. From the quiet gestures to the heartfelt celebrations, I create galleries that tell your full wedding day story, so you can relive the most meaningful moments again and again.
VALUES
Inclusion - honoring every individual and story
Empathy - approaching each session with care
Trust - building a safe space for real connection
Presence - embracing each moment as it unfolds
VISION
My vision is to foster a world where every memory is valued and remembered equally, challenging the notion that photography is solely for capturing picture-perfect moments.
MISSION
My mission is to capture you and your family in a detail-oriented, documentary style that reflects your true, authentic selves. I am dedicated to creating timeless images that enable you to relive life's moments exactly as they are.
If you’re a newly engaged couple thoughtfully planning all the little details of your wedding day, hoping to see the candid moments that might otherwise get lost in the blur of your day, and wanting to let your day unfold naturally, you’re in the right place.
With Kiarra Rae Photography, your wedding day will feel relaxed and welcoming, giving authentic emotions room to shine. You’ll receive plenty of picture-perfect images to frame for your parents, but will also have a gallery full of storytelling photos of you with your loved ones. No moments will go unnoticed with Kiarra Rae Photography.
