PHOTOS WITH FEELINGS

My objective is to create emotion-driven images that the audience is connected to. I don’t do contrived, I’m not good at it. While I would like to think that my life’s greatest work will be the photographs that I take, what’s closer to the truth is that my life’s greatest work is and always has been creating a warm, safe space for people to be themselves. I truly believe that to make anything worthwhile in this world, you have to be willing to be real.

KELLY, HERE

Whether it’s hanging out with your family in the backyard or telling the story of your brand - Don’t you want photographs that make you feel something? I know I do, and I would want someone behind the lens that pays attention. I would want the person invested in what I have to share. I would want all of these things, but hey, that’s me.

Kelly has a gift for building trust, making you feel comfortable and safe, and finding the parts of you that you didn't know were so beautiful.

Roxanne
Kelly has been able to capture photos most wouldn't. She captures authentic laughs, smiles from those who don't always smile, tears when they are falling perfectly on someone's cheek. When it came time for my husband and I to decide if we wanted photos of our elopement, Kelly was the one I wanted. When she said yes, I knew we were in for the most intimate photos. When our gallery came back, I was instantly taken back to those moments. I felt the emotion of being married all over again. Everyone who sees them is absolutely blown away by her abilities. I would HIGHLY recommend Kelly to anyone who wants authentic, raw and gorgeous photos.

Tessa
Kelly's lens captures a subtle magic, not attempting to pose or curate a photo, but welcoming her subjects to feel comfortable simply being themselves. Her attention to detail translates to beautiful photos, and from start to finish, Kelly is easy to work with and communicates well.

Kristy
We are just not the “sit and smile” type, so when it came to investing in high-quality family photos, I wanted to make sure we worked with an artist who could actually catch who we are. Kelly’s presence and process were the perfect answer. She spent intentional, un-fussed-over time just being alongside us for an evening. She didn’t try to move bodies and she didn’t ask us to look at the camera. She didn’t get rattled by moments of fussiness or sass or shyness or tears. And she delivered the most honest, authentic and intimate photographs that show exactly what we felt in those moments — the ones that will be pressed in book pages besides the cosmos and the chickweed and the black-eyed Susan petals. Kelly is a true aesthete in every sense of the word. Her refined sensitivity to the art of a moment isn’t pretentious or put on. It seeps from her very being and comes through in the details. She truly has and is a gift.
