Hi, I'm Kelly!

I'm so happy you're here!

I love exclamation points and sitting like a pretzel in my office chair while wearing leggings. I can't help but relate everything in life to a Seinfeld episode or to burst out in song. I'm forever on a quest to find the best vibe-y coffee shops, and I love asking deep questions.

The Work I Care About

I'm drawn to photographs you can feel — the ones that pull you in, make you linger, and maybe even put a little lump in your throat.

I do this for the nostalgia of it all. The knowledge that someday, the smallest details in these photographs may be the ones that matter most. The way they looked at you. The house you lived in. Their little hands. This slice of your current life and this version of your people.

I specialize in warm, documentary-style photography that celebrates the art of the everyday. From deep love stories and intimate celebrations to the gentle quiet of pregnancy, tiny newborn toes on your own bed, and the beautiful mess of family life, I photograph stories as they naturally unfold.

I see the magic in the unscripted corners of everyday life — the sunbeams on the living room floor, morning coffee, sweet bedtime routines, and the lived-in days with loved ones.

A Lil Snippet

Though originally from upstate New York, I have lived among the cotton fields of the rural South, between bodegas in New York City, and in the heart of Silicon Valley. I landed in Boulder, CO, in November 2023 with my husband, Colby. We have a three-year-old daughter, Tessa, and a one-year-old son, Henry, who is growing out of the baby stage way too fast. Before that, we were living and traveling full-time in a 30-foot Airstream trailer in California with our two cats, Reese & Spoon.

Colby and I lived parallel lives for years (TFA in the Mississippi Delta, the same NYC charter network, the same grad classes) before finally actually meeting through Hinge.
My last name rhymes with Monet, like the painter. I'm half French!

My Promise

I've Got You

You will feel taken care of from the beginning of the process, with clear, timely communication, thoughtful guidance and planning, and a warm, welcoming experience from start to finish.

I see you as a collaborator, but really more than anything I want you to relax and let things unfold naturally — because you and your people are my biggest inspiration. I'll step in with direction when you need it, and give you space when you don't, while keeping things moving organically.

By the end, you'll have experienced something that felt really meaningful and actually enjoyable, along with cherished images.

Still Want To Know More?

I'll happily overshare once we're connected.
