hey there!

I'M KELLY

Hi there! I’m so glad you’ve found me. When I’m not behind the camera capturing special moments or editing your beautiful galleries, I’m usually out on a morning run or spending time with my family.

​

I’m a proud mom to Aiden (9) and Kennedy (7), who are 18 months apart to the day! Both were born right on their due dates—the 13th—so the number 13 has become our family’s lucky charm (I even have a Roman numeral 13 tattoo to celebrate it!).

​

My husband, Joe, and I have been married for 10 years and together for 17. We’ve loved living in Franklin, Tennessee, for the past eight years, but big changes are ahead! We sold our home in November 2024 and are building a new one in Bluffton, South Carolina. This summer, we’ll be making the move closer to the beach—something our whole family is so excited about!

​

When we’re not working or in school, you’ll find us on jeep adventures, singing and dancing in the kitchen, tackling DIY projects, or soaking up precious family time with our kids. With both Aiden and Kennedy in school full-time, we really treasure those evenings and weekends together.

I can’t wait to meet you and your family! We’re going to have so much fun at your session, and I promise to make it an experience you’ll cherish forever.

I CAN'T IMAGINE DOING ANYTHING ELSE

This job is truly more than a job for me.

I LOVE WORKING WITH PEOPLE WHO

find joy in the little things

These two right here bring me all the Joy! My kids are everything to me and they are getting older by the day.  I cherish the time I do get with them, so my session availability is limited to 8 sessions per month (4 within Bluffton and 4 Beach sessions), when they are gone, they're gone.  So please sign up for my email list to be first to know when my calendar opens each season.  I would love to get your family in front of my camera and create some memories for you!
