Loved her photos!

We hired Kellie to shoot our wedding after seeing the photos of our friends, whose wedding she also shot. So glad we did! We selected her because we liked her natural style. Kellie was great before the wedding and during. She also did a session of engagement photos with us, where we elected to have more of a lifestyle shoot, and everyone loved how these turned out as well. Highly recommended. Thank you!

I was lucky enough to have a Kelly photograph an intimate boudoir shoot for a gift for my soon to be husband. I met her and saw her work at a bridal showcase and fell in love! As anyone can imagine, sometimes it can be uncomfortable to find your sexy self and do a shoot with a stranger! But with Kelly it was the opposite! She made me feel so comfortable, so at ease, and so beautiful! She has the best team to do my hair and make up and just made me feel so comfortable from start to end. She would also help explain certain angles of poses, etc! I just got the pictures back today and love love them! She has such a good eye!! They are so classy and tasteful! She is very quick to respond to any questions and is incredibly professional and personable. My sister will be booking with her soon! Can't say enough great things about Kelly and her skills!

She is not only awesome at what she does; she is professional, down to earth and all around a beautiful person! Kelly and her second shooter, Lindsay were so patient and efficient in working through all the details of our big day and did a great job capturing photos of all our guests. I can't thank them enough for all they did.

Kelly was an absolute dream to work with! Boudoir photography is something that normally I would never do and it is definitely way outside of my comfort zone, but Kelly made what I thought was going to be a super awkward experience into something that was so much fun! She was so patient and made me feel so comfortable! The pictures came out amazing and I felt like such a confident woman leaving the shoot. In addition; her professionalism and quick responsiveness was so nice and overall she is a talented photographer who I would absolutely recommend!

Kelly is a talented, personable and efficient photographer. I took some photos with her as a present for my groom on our wedding day and they turned out beautifully. She provides great direction during the shoot and makes it completely relaxing and fun. She has a great eye and I would recommend her talents to anyone!

My guy and I wanted to do something special for our anniversary and decided to have some professional photos taken as a momento. After searching for a photographer for a while, we came across Kelly's site and were blown away. Her photos spoke to me and I knew she would perfect for us.

Kelly was easy to reach and so accommodating to our crazy schedule. We had no idea where we wanted to shoot and asked her for some ideas. She threw out a few locations and we loved the idea of an edgy Culver City back drop coupled with some romantic beach photos in Venice Beach.

I was nervous as I had never had professional photographs done and didn't know of it would be awkward. As soon as Kelly got out of the car and smiled at us, I was out at ease. She's got a radiant smile and coolness to her that makes you feel immediately comfortable. Once she was behind the camera she asked us to just be "us" which felt odd at first since she was snapping away but then we started to have fun with it and she was right there with us laughing and going with whatever we had in mind. She was great, too, with coaching us to pose in ways that were natural and that she knew would look amazing in print. In fact my favorite picture was one I wasn't sure about at the time - we were seated on these cool grass stairs looking into the camera with a little less smile. The best part was she had brought a beautiful arranged flowers (such a great surprise and awesome prop) for me that I had across my lap. When I saw the picture in our online album I was giddy.

We were thrilled with Kelly's patience, humor, and artistic eye and are so great fun for these special photos that we will cherish forever!

Thank you, Kelly!

Looking for a great photographer? Look no further! Kelly was hands down the best decision we made. She was so professional and genuinely kind. She's passionate about what she does and that shows through every image she takes. she has a way with making you feel comfortable and beautiful while doing a shoot, and really takes the time to get to know you and understand what your looking for. She was so helpful throughout the entire process and very prompt with responses. the list is never ending when it comes to why you should book kelly! Her images alone should speak for themselves. My husband and I were so fortunate to have worked with her for our wedding and everything leading up to it! HIGHLY RECOMMEND -Rachel & Joe Lamorte
