And over the…

Destination Asheville NC Wedding At Memory Mountain At Wolf Laurel – David + Amanda Got Married!

By Kelley / November 21, 2016 /

Love is a hard thing to describe sometimes. How it makes you feel. How it changes you. How it ignites a fire inside your soul that no one else has ever come close to sparking. How it doesn’t necessarily make any sense. But ever since I met David + Amanda, the love that they share…

Ella’s High School Senior Graduation Celebration In Apple Valley, Minnesota

By Kelley / September 12, 2016 /

You may remember when I photographed Ella last fall for her high school senior photographs in downtown Minneapolis at Mill City.

This session was a year in the making. Trying to sync up calendars. Working out my flights. And then suddenly, the end of the school year in Tampa was fast approaching. I held this one just days after she was born and came home from the hospital. It doesn’t seem like it was that long…

It’s fall break for my kids and we have spent the week in Destin. Mucho good times with friends. Plenty of time on the beach and in the gorgeous water of the Emerald Coast. We went on a dolphin cruise earlier in the week. While we saw plenty of dolphins on that cruise, it wasn’t…

I had the pleasure of getting Ella to myself for the first portion of this session. I love getting one-on-one time with high school seniors and having the time to just talk about anything and everything. She is a thoughtful soul who is going to do great things with her life. I just know it.…

Signature Art Image – Kimber + Devlin’s Wedding!

By Kelley / September 11, 2015 /

Over a month before Kimber + Devlin’s wedding, I met up with Kimber so we could walk through Marjorie McNeely Conservatory together to talk about where her wedding ceremony would take place. Where I could and couldn’t walk during the ceremony. Spots I wanted to make these wedding portraits around the conservatory. I was pumped for her…
