About me
Capturing legacy through families, pets, and meaningful moments
Keyla DeCando is the owner of Keyla TeAnn Photography, a boutique portrait studio focused on colorful, emotional photography for families and pets.
Keyla is the owner of Keyla TeAnn Photography, where she offers a full-service portrait experience designed to turn everyday moments into meaningful keepsakes. From the first consultation to the final delivery of custom wall art and albums, she guides clients through a thoughtful process that results in beautiful, lasting legacy pieces.
Her work centers on families and pets, blending emotion, color, and storytelling to create portraits that feel personal and timeless. She believes photography should do more than document a moment, it should preserve connection, personality, and the memories people want to hold onto for years to come.
Keyla is also deeply passionate about giving back to local rescues. She travels throughout the Southeast photographing dogs to help them shine, get noticed, and hopefully find loving homes. Her compassion for animals and commitment to the community are woven into both her business and her personal mission.
For Keyla, living like a local means showing up for the businesses, causes, and events that make the community feel connected and alive.
