LEAVE NO TRACE

I see the world through an observational lens. I’m not here to orchestrate your day–I’m here to watch it unfold and capture what’s real. Weddings draw me in because they’re full of genuine emotion and fleeting moments that tell the truest stories. My goal is always to photograph you as you are, surrounded by the people and moments that mean the most.

the small, beautiful moments are what make life feel big.

with an eye for the IN-BETWEEN

DOCUMENTING LOVE

In my business and life, I aim to be a safe, affirming space for couples of all identities, backgrounds, and abilities. I’m committed to making sure every couple feels seen, celebrated, and fully themselves in front of my lens. Your story matters, your joy matters, and your love deserves to be captured just as it is.

LOVE IS LOVE

I'm a visual storyteller blending motion, design, and documentary-style photography. I’m all about real connection, observation, and the magic in everyday life. Lover of dogs, dessert, Diet Coke, a good sunset, and weddings that tug at my heartstrings.

I'm kelsey + i started this business because i have a passion for documenting life as it happens.

OBSESSED!! Kelsey has the perfect combination of calming and hyping vibe! She made the environment so comfortable on top of capturing the most stunning and beautiful photos! She went above and beyond from our first meeting where she created a safe space and cultivated a meaningful relationship, to the engagement session where she took our vision and brought it to life better than we imagined, to the wedding day where she captured all the angles and memories! We continue to re-live the day through her pictures! She was able to capture and bring to life our multicultural wedding with respect, appreciation, and beauty!

"We continue to re-live the day through her pictures!"

Madi and Drew

She is so lovely to work with, she was punctual and organized which made the wedding photos go by smoothly. We had so many people comment on how great the experience was with family and wedding party photos. Our photos turned out absolutely gorgeous and I am obsessed. I love how she captured candid moments of not just us but our family interacting also. All these photos are going to be cherished forever and I am beyond grateful we chose Kelsey to share our day with us. I told my husband I wish we could get married every year just so we can get great photos like this with all our family and friends every year :) 

"all of these photos are going to be cherished forever"

Isabella and Caleb

Not just standing and smiling photos but the warmth and everyone's hug and the tears of happiness that fell down people's faces. She does an amazing job at capturing those moments that make you the happiest. And she does it so quickly that you don't even notice.

"It makes me so happy to go over all of our wedding photos and remember the day exactly as it happened" 

LISA AND DALLAS

Kelsey was incredibly easy to work with and captured our wedding so wonderfully. Her editing skills subtle and very tasteful and really enhanced our photos. I’m so grateful for her professionalism, flexibility and skills to capture our memories!

"she made us feel comfortable to be ourselves" 

Kaitlynn and cole

by the attention to detail and the effort put in to making my wedding day pictures go so smoothly! Kelsey’s communication was out of this world and she made sure to understand our vision. I would give her an 11 out of 5 if possible! 

"ABSOLUTELY BLOWN AWAY"

Her attention to detail, eye for composition and personality make the experience completely worth while. You would be lucky to have her as your photographer!

"Kelsey does amazing work and she is such a joy to work with on the day"
