MY APPROACH IS SIMPLE

Michigan family & newborn photographer

Come as you are. Love each other fiercely. Let go of perfection. Laugh and play. Let the magic unfold.

You're into connection over perfection

My best imagery comes when everyone is free to let loose! Of course we'll grab a couple quick "everyone look at me & smile" (you know the grandparents will be looking for that), but after that, we're going to play games, have tickle fights, and just be so happy together that even your husband will want to keep doing these sessions!

Let's skip the perfect poses and cheesy smiles, and create something as real & true as your love is.

You're my person if...

You're down for anything, if it means you get to laugh & play with your family

You don't take anything too seriously and spend most of your time just rolling with it!

I'm here to bring your dream session to life, make ya feel good, and give you and your family something beautiful to hang on to for a lifetime.

She is absolutely incredible! We've used her for our maternity, newborn, 6 week, and a family/1 year session. She has delivered so many beautiful photos from each of our sessions, we will definitely continue to use Kellie to capture our family's photos for years to come. Do not hesitate to book this amazing photographer!

questions
frequent

A: In the winter, I book about a month in advance. For all other seasons, I book about 2 months in advance. Summer & Fall are my busiest times and I often run out of dates for both in early Summer.

Q: HOW FAR IN ADVANCE SHOULD WE BOOK WITH YOU?

A: At this time, my focus is on babies & families, so I do not photograph weddings. I do know some of the very best wedding photographers in the industry though, and I would be happy to refer you!

Q: DO YOU PHOTOGRAPH WEDDINGS?

A: I always recommend bringing anything that will help the session. A favorite stuffed animal or toy, snacks, water, a whole picnic if you want!

Q: SHOULD WE BRING ANYTHING TO OUR SESSION?

A: I deliver all sessions within 2-3 weeks!

Q: HOW LONG DOES IT TAKE TO GET OUR PHOTOS BACK?

A: This is not a requirement, but if it makes you feel good, go for it! I recommend the below salons and makeup artists in the area:
Makeup/Brows- Nikoletta @ Dashur Beauty, Masq Beauty
Hair- Marina @ Bianchi's Salon Troy, Alex Emilio Salon

Q: SHOULD I GET MY HAIR & MAKEUP DONE?

A: Yes, always! 

Q: can we include our pet(s)?

A: The short answer- no. Longer answer- I'm here to document you as you are, which is beautiful btw. I would never do anything to alter the way you look. Instead, let me show you how everyone else sees you!

Q: CAN YOU PHOTOSHOP XYZ BODY PART OF MINE?

A: I'll be checking the weather in the week before our session. Clouds are okay (unless you have your heart set on a golden sunset), but if it's downpouring, I will contact you to reschedule the session. Sometimes it works out, where we'll get a rain-free break at some point in the day, but there will always be the option of rescheduling.

Q: what happens if it rains the day of my session?

A: YESSSS. I've had clients bring me out for a day of their vacation, as well as clients who have traveled 3+ hours to go to an insanely gorgeous location up north. These sessions always end up being some of my best work. I hate using this word, so you know if I'm using it, I must mean it- but they're completely epic. There's something about a change of scenery and all of the beauty that Michigan has to offer. I'm here for it!


Q: WE WANT SOMETHING DIFFERENT FOR OUR PHOTOS. CAN WE SHOOT AT XYZ STATE PARK/SOME OTHER BEAUTIFUL SPOT IN MICHIGAN THAT REQUIRES A ROADTRIP??

A: This is where you can put the answer. Try to give them enough information while also being concise. This section is designed for questions that you get asked repeatedly.

Q: A CONCISE QUESTION WILL GO RIGHT HERE IN THIS SPOT?
