Part ninja. Part bestie. Zero pretense.
100% dedicated to making you look your best.
Hi, I’m Kelley. I’m a photographer of people (for their personal milestones and professional livelihood), a recovering corporate employee, and the person who will definitely tell you if you have food stuck in your teeth.
In 2011, I traded corporate spreadsheets for a camera and lights and haven’t looked back. I’ve found that preserving a legacy is infinitely more meaningful than delivering PowerPoints in a conference room. Whether I’m shaping light to turn a broom closet into something remarkable or documenting an international wedding, I’m driven by the fact that people matter.
I’ve been called a "ninja" for my ability to capture raw, intimate moments without being intrusive. However, when we are interacting, my policy is total honesty. I’ll tell you if you need to stand taller (using that posture your mom always talked about) or how to find a stronger jawline. I’m incapable of false niceties—I’ll treat you like a bestie because I want you to look your best and genuinely love the results.
My work has been featured by Fortune 100 companies and published internationally, but those accolades aren't what put a smile on my face at night. My "why" is the text I receive years later telling me how much an image has grown in value as time passes. Knowing my work lives on your walls as a cherished heirloom is the best fulfillment I could dream of.
When I’m not behind the lens, I’m usually building something to organize my house, cooking for people I love, or stubbornly failing to keep houseplants alive. I find purpose in making life easier for others—whether that’s making you feel comfortable in front of a camera or helping a friend change out a ceiling fan. I’m just here to celebrate what makes your story unique.
Life is too short for boring photos or awkward small talk. Whether you’re preserving a family legacy or needing to level up your professional presence, I’m here to make the process easy and the results remarkable. Tell me what you’re dreaming up—or even what you’re dreading about being in front of the lens—and I’ll take it from there.
The greatest happiness of life is the conviction that we are loved; loved for ourselves, or rather, loved in spite of ourselves.
