Holly | Maternity

kelleyw — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 15:24:34 +0000

Holly is adorable. In fact, when she contacted me about maternity photos, I instantly remembered her AMAZING abs which I shot during her Coquette session with me waaaaaay back in 08. Now her abs are doing something much more impressive than just looking pretty as she’s carrying her second (sure to be darling) baby! I had such fun with these three and am stoked for a playdate so Sully can meet cutie Jett :) Can’t wait to see the sweet little new one!!

Ellie | Senior

kelleyw — Thu, 26 Apr 2012 14:50:50 +0000

Meet beautiful, ridiculously long-legged Ellie :) Ellie is the neighbor of some of my favorite past clients. I love it when I get to shoot the friends and families of past clients – it’s so much fun getting to meet the whole circle! Happy graduation, Ellie!

Jill+Kyle+Itty Bitty Baby Bump!

kelleyw — Mon, 02 Apr 2012 15:21:34 +0000

I absolutely love Jill! She is my fantastic, miracle-worker of a chiropractor and Sully & I just love seeing her to get us all back in line and feeling good! Her darling hubby Kyle is also a super-amazing chiropractor so I highly suggest checking the two of them out at Gulledge Family Wellness!

Anyway, these two are expecting their first little baby boy and needed some photos to commemorate the occasion! Since Jill’s bump was still so little I think we’ll do another session as she gets closer to delivering. Either way, are they the cutest or what??

Smith Family

Ok, who’s with me in being completely incredulous that we’re already halfway through February? As I type this I can hear birds singing and the sun is shining – hooray!! That means it’s almost spring (in my head, anyway ;) and it’s time to start shooting some more gorgeous photos! I’ll be announcing a photo special in the next few days, so be sure and stick around for that!

In the meantime, I’ve decided it’s high time to catch the blog up on all the great shoots I’ve done over the last year and not shared. So, in no particular order, I’m starting us out with this gorgeous family. I shot Donny & Daina’s wedding way back when (2006??) and have so enjoyed watching their little family grow! Aren’t they darling??

Celeste+Tom | Married : Reception

kelleyw — Wed, 27 Jul 2011 05:16:06 +0000

Sam, Sully & I all traveled to New York for Celeste & Tom’s wedding, and it was sooooo worth the journey!! Celeste and I have been friends since 3rd grade and I can’t even say how happy I am for her that she found such a wonderful guy in Tom! Their wedding was beautiful, and I expect nothing less of their future together :) Congrats you two!

The wedding was so much fun, in fact, that I had a terrible time narrowing down the photos and am going to post them in chunks, starting backwards with their rockin’ reception!
