Love notes from clients

"Kelly made us so comfortable that I didn’t feel nervous at all!"

“I don’t typically like getting my photo taken so I was pretty nervous for our in-home family session, but Kelly made us so comfortable that I didn’t feel nervous at all! She is so good at creating a positive and warm environment. We laughed the whole time! She did an amazing job of capturing our family doing everyday things together. I will cherish these forever.”
Lauren
"She has a natural skill working with families."

“Her communication and happy attitude during the sessions is what truly stands out! Even the kids have fun taking photos with Kelly, and that's not an easy task! A truly one of a kind photographer!"
Caroline
"My kids light up for Kelly! She is so engaging and patient with them."

“As a family with young kids, it’s always nerve-wracking as we don’t know how the kids will be for picture time. My kids light up for Kelly! She is so engaging and patient with them. She has captured so many beautiful moments of our family that we will truly cherish forever. She is our go-to family photographer!”
JENNIFER
"Kelly was an absolute pleasure to work with!"

“Photo shoots with toddlers are always challenging, and we actually left saying how much fun we had. She spent so much time and energy getting some of the sweetest shots. To top off the wonderful experience, the photos were incredibly beautiful! Kelly has an amazing, God-given talent and we can’t wait to work with her again.”
COURTNEY
"As a mother of 4, nothing can evoke anxiety like the threat of taking 'family pictures.'"

“Kelly was by far and wide the best photography experience I have EVER had with or without children. She is a natural and my children just adored her. She has a true connection with them and is very fun and playful and can read them well. Even my husband enjoyed it! The kids ask all the time when they can play with her again. I have pictures to cherish and share.”
EYDIE
"She thinks of so many details and makes taking photos so much fun!"

Kelly is one of the sweetest people you will ever meet! She makes taking photos with your family, let alone a newborn, an absolute breeze. She thinks of so many details and makes taking photos so much fun!
