Hi, I'm Kelly
I’ve been taking photos professionally for over 10 years, but my journey started much earlier—17 years ago—with a camera in hand, capturing candid moments of my family, nature, and travels.
What began as a creative outlet has grown into a full-time passion for documenting people, connection, and real emotion. I’m drawn to both the beauty of a carefully styled setting and the authenticity of photojournalistic storytelling—so my work often blends the two. Whether it’s a wedding, a portrait session, or a branding shoot, I focus on creating images that feel intentional, honest, and timeless.

When you work with me, you’ll get more than just beautiful images—you’ll get a calm, down-to-earth experience, and photos that reflect your story with heart.
Do you shoot in a studio or on location?
Both! I have a cozy studio in Raleigh, perfect for headshots, branding, and indoor family or maternity sessions. I also love shooting outdoors or at meaningful locations for more natural, lifestyle-focused sessions.
Do you help with posing? I’m not very comfortable in front of the camera.
Absolutely! We encourage our clients to share their vision and preferences with us. Before your session or event, we'll have a consultation to discuss your ideas, style, and any specific shots you have in mind. We believe in tailoring our photography to your unique needs, ensuring that the final results align with your expectations and reflect your personal taste.
What is the typical turnaround time for receiving our edited photographs?
Turnaround time varies by session type:
Portraits, family, maternity, branding: 2–3 weeks
Weddings and elopements: 4–8 weeks
Rush editing may be available for an additional fee.
