This fall marks my 8 year business-versary (totally a word, right?). 10 years ago I picked up a DSLR for the very first time. 8 years ago I first snapped the shutter for someone other than my family. Hundreds of families and sessions later, here I am. In a place I am so darn proud […]

In my world, people who can complete a 12 hour road trip in one day are my literal heroes. I don’t know how it’s done. My limit is about 4 hours/day. After that, I am a mess. “Whhhhhhyyyyyy is this road never-ending?” “How are we already out of beef jerky? Seriously, it’s not pretty. In […]

I sometimes feel like a broken record, but let me go ahead and say it one more time. Photo sessions don’t have to be stressful. Photo sessions can be F-U-N. One way to make them not stressful and fun? To have an activity planned. Ok, before you freak out on me and say, “Kelly! I […]

The year was 2012. I’d just escaped the house after my 7 month old daughter had gone to sleep for the night (laughable – she was probably asleep for 45 min as she never slept!). I drove to Wal-mart and decided it was time to buy a real camera. Real as in it wasn’t a […]

During a family or newborn photo session, we’ll talk about all sorts of things: your life your kids the last vacation you were on (side note: just close your eyes and imagine the beach you’ll be sipping a margarita on after this mess of 2 years) your jobs the beautiful decor in your house (I […]

Looking back on a year like 2020, it can be easy to see all frustration and unwanted changes. But, when I went back through my archives last week, I realized quickly that there was so. much. good.
