I’m the photographer behind Kindred Photography — a Vancouver portrait photographer specializing in timeless portraits for families, children, and professionals.
For me, photography has never been about chasing perfect smiles or staging elaborate moments. It’s about connection — the quiet expressions, the way your child leans into you, the way your family feels together in this season of life.
Those are the moments that become the most meaningful artwork in your home.
Most of the families who come to me aren’t looking for a quick photo session.
They want something lasting.
A portrait of their child at this age.
Artwork that reflects who their family really is.
Images that feel calm, natural, and beautifully timeless.
That’s why many of my sessions take place indoors — in a studio or in your home — where the experience is relaxed, unrushed, and focused entirely on you and your family.
Without worrying about weather, lighting conditions, or busy locations, we’re able to create portraits that feel refined, intimate, and full of connection.
Your photographs aren’t meant to live on a hard drive.
They are meant to live on your walls, in albums, and in the hands of your children years from now.
Every portrait session includes a personalized design process where we transform your images into heirloom artwork — custom wall pieces and albums crafted to become part of your home and your family history.
Because childhood moves quickly.
But the artwork we create together ensures you never lose this chapter.
I’m a wife, a mom to three energetic kids, and someone who deeply understands how quickly childhood changes.
When I’m not photographing families, you’ll usually find me reading a good book, enjoying coffee with friends, or chasing my own kids through another busy season of life.
Being a parent is what shaped the way I photograph.
I know how meaningful it is to pause time — even for a moment — and turn it into something you can hold onto forever.
Kelly was absolutely exceptional, both in her photography and customer service every step of the way.

Working with Kelly was an incredible experience
She is knowledgable, warm, and able to capture seasons of a busy young family that will likely become a blur in the years to come.
- Christine, Vancouver
Kelly was an absolute joy to work with!
Even though the session felt like a whirlwind and even a bit chaotic due to our toddler’s boundless energy, Kelly managed to capture some beautiful photos for our family and we couldn’t be happier!
I should add that the photo album that Kelly made for us was luxury at your fingertips - beautiful and well made.
- Andrea, Vancouver
Kelly is the most amazing photographer
She captured my vision better than I could imagine. Every time I see our beautiful artwork hanging on our walls I smile.
