"Every Home Tells A Story"

The story of Reynard Architectural Designs began in the bustling architectural hub of Atlanta. It was there, while collaborating closely with Jack Baldwin and James Knight, that the spark for something greater was ignited.

 

Recognizing a shared passion for innovative, purposeful design and a mutual respect for each other's distinct talents, the trio decided to forge their own path.

 

Together, they founded Reynard—a firm built on the principles of collaboration, integrity, and timeless design. Kalyn’s foundational work alongside Jack and James in those early Atlanta days established the creative energy that continues to drive her passion for architectural photography forward today.

Beyond her strategic leadership as a co-founder, Kalyn possesses a remarkable and rare talent as an architectural photographer. She has an innate ability to look at a custom designed home and understand exactly how light, shadow, and angles interact with the physical space.
 

 

"Architecture isn’t just about the physical materials; every home tells a story and I hope to tell each home's unique tale through visual story telling."
 

 

Through her lens, Kalyn captures the soul of James' architectural projects. Her stunning photography doesn’t just document their work—it elevates it, showcasing the clean lines, intricate details, and emotional resonance of every design the team brings to life.​
