Meet Kelly graphic

When I started my photography business, I wanted to give more than pretty pictures, I wanted to give families a high-touch experience that felt intentional, effortless, and served mamas well before, during and after their session.

However, like most busy mamas, I didn’t have endless hours to figure it out. Between working as a Nurse Anesthetist, being a mama to three little ones, and learning the business side of photography, I had to be intentional with my time. Over many late nights and a lot of education, I built a high-touch client experience without sacrificing balance at home. I realized that I can do it all, without doing it all yourself.

Now, I mentor photographers because I know what it’s like to wear all the hats. I believe it’s possible to grow a profitable, sustainable business while still showing up for the people who matter most..

Through mentoring, I’ll share the strategies, systems, and heart behind my business so you can skip the overwhelm and step into one that feels aligned, balanced, and fulfilling, all while offering a high-touch, luxury client experience to the mamas you serve.

Hi friend!
