Are you looking to capture the joy and spirit of your family with some incredibly fun family photos? I specialize in creating unforgettable memories through my innovative and creative approach to family photography, especially when it comes to photographing families, including kids.

My clients have all said they chose me as their photographer because of how natural my photos looks. They say they love how they can feel the moments, that nothing looks over posed or stiff.

I love hearing that! That is the heart and soul of what I do in my photos and for my clients!

Family Photos full of Playful Poses and Genuine Smiles

I have a knack for capturing those genuine family moments that truly shine. I understand the energy and curiosity that kids bring, and I know how to capture their spirit in every shot. I create a relaxed environment where your kids can just be themselves, resulting in those real, beaming smiles and genuine laughter.

I understand that some kids are shy and want to stay close to their parents and may be hesitant to interact with me. I understand that some kids aren’t going to want to stand still for more than a minute or two. I know how to work with each of those personalities, even when they are in the same family!

Here’s what one client said:

“She was FANTASTIC with my 3 yo, who was less than enthusiastic about having photos done. She was also super great with my 5 yo, who was overly enthusiastic about the sessions…She was patient when baby needed breaks, and from the photos, you couldn't even tell that he was having a fussy afternoon…she had fantastic rapport with us as well as the kids, her photographs were stunning,” - Andria

Gone are the days of stiff, posed family portraits.

I am all about creating interactive and lively sessions that get every family member excited to join in. From silly games and simply chatting with each other, to activities that highlight your family's unique bond. It’s all about capturing the true essence of your family's bond. I have a treasure trove of creative ideas to make your family photo session a blast. Whether we're building sandcastles at the beach or snowmen in the Wisconsin snow, having a picnic in the park, or exploring a local farm, I guarantee a memorable experience that will translate into stunning photographs.

I pride myself on my personalized approach to every family photo session. Before the shoot even begins, I'll take the time to get to know your family. I'll chat with you beforehand to understand what makes your family unique– your interests, vibes, and your vision for the session. That way, I can tailor our approach to perfectly fit your crew and capture who you truly are. During the session, I'll guide you and your kids through session so everyone feels comfortable and at ease. I aim to create a relaxed environment where laughter and joy are encouraged, resulting in photos that truly reflect your family's authentic connections and personalities.

Here’s what my clients with kids have said about our session:

“Every session that we have had with Kelly has been memorable not only due to the photos that she brings to life but by the experience that we have with her. As a mom trying to hassle the husband and children together for family photos the scene is always chaos but Kelly truly brings a sense of calm and understanding. She cultivates the session to meet us where we are at and with young children, the emotions are ever changing. We will always recommend her, my favorite sessions and photos have been with her.”

- Wasana

“Kelly is amazing! She put our family at ease so we had very natural pictures that captured us perfectly! The photos are beautiful!!!”

- Sue

“We have 4 young children and Kelly nailed it with both the experience and the end product. She makes taking pictures fun and stress free, which is not an easy task! And in the end, I get pictures that show my kids’ true personalities and real smiles. She makes it hard to chose which pictures to hang on the wall because they are all that good! I highly recommend Kelly for any type of pictures you are looking for!”

- Jackie

“Kelly was AWESOME to work with! She really had a vision + executed that with great communication + professionalism. Our kiddos were a little wild + not in the mood for pics, yet our pictures turned out perfectly. Kelly knew exactly how to pose us, yet make it look + feel so natural.”

- Katie
