Behind the Lens...

Hi, welcome to my website! My name is Kaylee Vaughan, and I am the face behind Photo by Kay.  I have been taking pictures for five years now. I like to describe how I came to photography as a beautiful accident.  I got a camera my sophomore year of high school just for fun.  Little did I know, a few weeks later I would be going to take baseball pictures for fun.  From there it was all history.  I fell in love with taking baseball pictures and became passionate about making people happy by giving them their photos.  I fell in love with the smile people get when I show them how good they look, or the reactions from families who can't be there to see their players.  I fell in love with every aspect of photography, because to others it may just be clicking a button, but to me it's so much more.  I went through a lot in high school, and not only would I say that my starting this business was a 'happy accident', but it also saved me in a way.  I'm forever grateful for where I am now and all the people who have supported me and never doubted how far I will go!  I'm so happy to have you all along for this crazy ride!

Some things you may not know about me...
1. I am a current Junior at Missouri State University, majoring in journalism with a minor in communications.

2.  Some of my favorite things are: Sunday mornings, tanning, fishing, being with my family, chocolate ice cream, seafood, Sprite, 7 Brew, and a good romance book! 

3. I'm from a small town and graduated high school with a class of 60. 

4. I grew up in a big football-loving family, but I couldn't take football photos due to cheering all my life (so I know the most about football vs other sports).

5. My dream/future goal is to work for the MLB, but I would also consider the NFL.
