Hi friends, I'm Kelly
Your Raleigh Fine Art Photographer
I am your lover of all things photography, art, flowers, sunsets, pretty dresses....oh the pretty dresses, dancing and all of the fun in between.
I enjoy my days filled with my family, four beautiful children and my high school sweetheart. If I am not behind my desk editing and chatting with my clients, I will be behind the wheel of my Kia Carnival running kids all over Durham, Wake and even Grandville counties for school and sports activities.
Come see what keeps me ticking most days, I can hardly wait to meet you and learn more about what you and your family want from your experience with me!
As featured working with Janie and Jack, Nordstrom's, Nuna, Kohl's and many more couture companies, I am your Raleigh, Durham, and surrounding areas family photographer. I work often with both big, and small clothing companies. My work has been featured in multiple magazines including Brand Model Magazine, This Magazine, Voyage Raleigh Magazine, Canvas Rebel, and more. I bring my expertise and understanding of what big brands want and need, together with what families crave, to every session I curate. I love to take an intricate mix of light, color, details, and life, here and now. That is what it is all about. We crave the memories. We need the legacy. We want that heritage. Let me show you how to preserve your family life to look back on and reminisce years from now.
