Hello, I'm Kelsie

Photographer

Thanks for wanting to learn more about me.

I have 3 roommates. I gave birth to 2 of them.

All of them are loud.


I started taking photos in high school, and quickly grew obsessed with making my friends feel beautiful.

I photographed a few weddings during an internship, and grew curious on the whole idea of wedding photography.

It's a day that encompasses almost every type of photography. Documentary, portraiture, the art of curated cinematic moments... I fell in love with the challenge of doing it all. Not everyone is cut out for the emotional and physical rollercoaster of wedding photography, but I'm glad I am!

My Photography Style

The study of light.

How light illuminates its subjects is the precedence of what photography is. The definition is quite literally "drawing with light"

I have a specific way I like to "draw":

My style  is simply the observation of how light works. With weddings, I expose each image properly. Edit for every situation.

Think proper exposure and good contrast.

Wedding days are NOT one size fits every style.

I don't edit my images to be too bright or too dark.

I edit them -just right- so they will be timeless and look beautiful forever.

I love incorporating trends and art into our time together. Expect double exposures, prism work, flash and whatever else is feeling good. I love it when my clients value art, and want to see me create! You give me the gift to photograph you, allow me to give you back something that with take your breath away!

What you get to experience-

My approach to photography

When you work with me, I don't want you to feel stiff and over directed. I'm not the photographer who puts you in a pose that feels awkward, micro-manages your entire body, and tells you to smile.

If I did that, the photos wouldn't feel like you.


I pride myself in first educating myself.

How are you feeling about photos?

Is there anything you feel self conscious about I should be aware of?

What are you most looking forward to seeing with your images?


Then we start! I enjoy giving active direction and curating candid moments. During our session, you will have fun interacting with each other and physically moving to get some amazing shots!

It's going to be FUN.

My Inspiration

 

My favorite images tend to be those with Chiaroscuro lighting. It was first recognized in Renaissance paintings, and is a dramatic technique using extreme contrast between light and dark to create volume, depth, and emotional intensity. Although not every moment during your session or wedding lends itself to this type of imagery, if we can get it, you'll see it!
