I capture life, unposed, and turn it into personalized art.
I love to capture unforgettable memories for adventurous and creative families, turning them into gorgeous artwork. I personally love a good adventure and believe those experiences are the most important thing we do in life. When I was 18 I hopped on my first plane by myself and moved to New Zealand for 6 months. My husband and I climbed Mt. Kilimanjaro together and hiked through the Thai jungle.
Then we decided to become parents- a whole new kind of adventure. Now we seem to be trying and learning something new every single day as we navigate the waters of a strong-willed daughter and an intensely curious little boy. I'd love to capture the adventures and chaos in your life, whether that be becoming parents for the first time, or stumbling your way through parenthood.

Hey, I'm Kelly!
As a soon-to-be mom of three trained in photojournalism, I help families preserve real memories because I know how quickly the early days of my children's lives faded into hazy memories of sleep deprivation, diapers and baby rolls.
With a passion for connection and living in the moment, I aim to turn your every day moments into gorgeous art, so you can see the beauty in your life displayed in your home. Because when these memories fade, all we're left with is photos, and sometimes an iPhone just won't cut it.

My favourite things
interesting things about me
I spent most of my life thinking I wasn't creative after my Grade 2 teacher suggested a "how to draw" book on my report card. Learning photography at 19 finally changed that.
When I'm in a really good mood I belt out Disney songs at the top of my lungs and dance in the kitchen.
I drink two to three cups of black coffee every day and truly believe I'll just stop functioning without it.

"Absolutely loved loved loved working with Kelly! Kelly isn't just a photographer, she's also an artist! The pictures from our newborn shoot were true works of art. She knows exactly how to capture the moment; you can feel the emotion in each of her pictures. To top it all off, she's incredibly friendly and heaps of fun to work with! I highly recommend letting her be your creative guide. We had to do an outdoor newborn shoot instead of the traditional indoor shoot because of COVID-19. Kelly stepped up, came up with a gorgeous location and brought some beautiful ideas for pictures. We ended up with a set of photographs that were beyond our expectations. The pictures she took were breathtaking with the stunning scenery in the back. If you're looking for a photographer who knows how to capture emotion in all your pictures, I highly recommend this lady!"

"We recently did a shoot with Kelly and absolutely loved every minute. Not only is she professional and incredibly talented but she also has kids herself so she understands how to talk to them and engage with them. We had such a positive experience and the photos she produced were incredible. If you’re looking for a photographer and want to capture beautiful memories, I highly recommend working with Kelly, she’s amazing!!"

"Kelly was an absolute pleasure to work with right from the time of booking! She made sure to provide us with information on styling the whole family and really ensured we were set up for a successful session. She arrived with props to swaddle baby, and even a gift for our little guy. She was able to get great participation from our 4 year old! a task easier said than done! We were quickly given a sneak peek of our session the following day, the photos turned out absolutely fantastic we couldn’t be happier! We look forward to seeing the whole gallery and working with Kelly again. Highly recommend her!
Thanks again for such a positive experience!"

"Kelly is the real-deal. We had never met in person prior to our FRESH 48 shoot this past Friday, nor do I have the album of our images to review, but all I can say is thank-you.
After receiving a sneak peek within hours of our shoot together, Kelly brought me to tears with her capture of my three boys and their brand-new baby sister.
Kelly went even beyond my expectations by bringing a baby gift, that we used in the shoot - it really completed the session.
I can't wait to see all the other images, and you'll be sure that I will be purchasing the ENTIRE album. "
Miranda, Maple Ridge, BC
"Me and my fiancé had our engagement photos done with Kelly and they turned out better than we could have ever imagined. We had never done anything like this and were super nervous but Kelly was able to make it so enjoyable, we laughed the entire time. The photos taken by Kelly truly capture our relationship and the love we have for one another. Such an amazing experience!!"
