Hi! I'm Kelsey

I live on a small hobby farm South of Portland.
I have lot's of little animals that make appearances in plenty of my photos -
Turkeys, chickens, chicks, rabbits, quail, a chubby kitty and a goofy little rescue mix pup.
My husband and I have been together for ten years and have three very wild little children together.

While I love a lot of things (like farming, gardens, biking, writing, painting),
my greatest love is photographing  people.
Honest moments are my favorite ones to capture.
Posed, styled photos are always beautiful, and I always get plenty of those --
but it's the little instances in between that show our true selves.
Kids, unexpectedly being silly, pulling their shirts over their head;
new couples, trying to look serious before bursting out laughing over the other's smirk...
These are the best pictures.They give your images life and show the real you - your real family.
There's really nothing that can go 'wrong' during your photos. Even if kids have meltdowns
or you spill coffee all over your white shirt right before we shoot (don't worry, that's what photoshop is for!). 
It's my job to make sure you have fun and feel comfortable in what may otherwise
feel super awkward if you're not use to the camera.
I want my clients to come in knowing I'll guide you, help you look your best,
and that there are no expectations. Just you being you, or your family, and friends,
being themselves, is enough to get you gorgeous photos of your day.
I'll direct you on how and where to stand, and what to do!

It's important to me that everyone feel represented in my photography, especially as our little family is bi-racial.
I am a LBGQ+ friendly.
I go by she/her pronouns.
I welcome every person who is seeking my services -
no matter your age, race, sexual identity, political or religious values and views
I want every individual to feel respected and valued.
