About
I'm a wedding and engagement photographer based in Charlottesville, VA.
For two years, I apprenticed under two local high-end wedding photographers, to gain experience and knowledge as I grow my own business.
In addition to photography, I also enjoy exploring the Blue Ridge Mountains, caring for my plants, and taking spin classes!
My favorite thing about photography is capturing genuine emotion in my photos, and delivering that to my clients as a lifelong memory. I would love to have the privilege of working with you!

Kelly absolutely blew us away with our engagementphoto shoot and we’re still buzzing. She made us feel very comfortable right off the bat and was our personal cheerleader. We appreciated her guidance in our poses and flexibility with locations and improvised shots. We would definitely use her again and recommend her to everyone!

I booked Kelly for our engagementphotos and could not be happier! My fiancé and I are both uncomfortable in front of the camera, but Kelly put us at ease, and the hour flew by. She knew exactly what poses to do and where to go for the best backdrops. I felt like we really maximized our time with her. And the photos in our sneak peek turned out great! I can't wait to see the rest of the pictures.

Kelly was fantastic! She was able to get me in for a shoot not long after I reached out to her. It was my first time getting pictures taken and she was very patient and helped me pose. It was super stress free and fun!

Kelly was an incredible joy to work with. She made me feel comfortable and captured the personality of my energy-filled pup! I cannot wait to work with Kelly again and am excited to be able to say "she did my 2020 Christmas cards" when she's a big shot wedding photographer!!
