Kelli did a phenomenal job and even offered to help us with tasks during dead time that were not expected of her but supremely helpful.
She took great photographs in a cramped room and was conscientious of not disrupting attendees.
When the event ended a little bit early, she agreed to take photos for us in a new space.
She added such a professional presence at this event.
Fantastic photographer for corporate events. Incredibly professional and stood out across other photographers we looked at. Delivered photos incredibly fast, as well! All around fantastic.

Kelli was amazing! We hired her to shoot our son's senior photos. She was so flexible and accommodating from the scheduling aspect to the actual session. We did not want "traditional" style photos, so all I had to do was give her a general idea of what we were looking for and she stepped up to the challenge with gusto and creativity that exceeded our expectations. If anyone is looking for a photographer that knows what they're doing and hand holding nor directing is necessary, you'll be more than satisfied with Kelli's photography. On a side note, we just had our session and haven't gotten the photos yet, so I'll update my review regarding the quality of her product, but I have every confidence they will be spectacular!

Can't wait to see the photos Kelli took! We had an amazing experience for our first family photo shoot. I only got to peek at a few snaps on her camera but already know, we will most definitely be coming back to Kelli next time we need a photographer!

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I start by getting to know my client and what they’re looking for, because good communication makes all the difference. I always recommend a shot list so I can be sure to deliver exactly what you need, and for larger events I’m happy to meet beforehand. A small, non-refundable deposit secures your date, and then we’re good to go.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I’ve been a professional photographer for over 10 years, working across events, portraits, real estate, and commercial projects. I’m strong with lighting, organized on set, and known for putting people at ease quickly. I bring a calm, collaborative approach to every shoot and focus on delivering polished, reliable results.
