"She embraced our crazy and laughed right along with us."
Hands down one of the best photography experiences my family has had to date. Kelly had done amazing action shots of my dog during dock diving and frisbee events so I thought I'd reach out and ask if she would be willing to capture the crazy that my family is and she did not disappoint! The kids thoroughly enjoyed running around with their dog just getting to be kids and the dog getting to be a dog. She embraced our crazy and laughed right along with us. I will forever cherish the memories she was able to capture of our family even if I felt it was a hot mess express. She calmed any worry I had and the end result was well worth it.

"You can tell she loves what she does and is passionate about the clients, both human and four legged."
Kelly was able to PERFECTLY capture not only Jankins, but also our newest to the pack, Jackie. Kelly was able to capture absolutely stunning shots of my camera shy doggos in action as well as some beautiful family portraits. She was professional, kind, and most importantly an absolute joy to work with. You can tell she loves what she does and is passionate about the clients, both human and four legged. Kelly brought toys, treats, and noise makers to the shoot to entertain the dogs and even some take home fudge for the human. I would HIGHLY recommend Kelly & will be returning for another photoshoot in the spring. Her work speaks for itself- high quality, full of love, and captured fun memories that will last forever.

"Not only did I get amazing pictures that I never thought would be possible, but it became such a great memory for me."
Willow and I had such a wonderful time working with Kelly especially with her fun loving personality! It can be hard to get good pictures of pets but Kelly knew exactly what to do and bring to keep my dog interested due to the consult we had beforehand. She truly loves her job and genuinely cared for my pup. Not only did I get amazing pictures that I never thought would be possible but it became such a great memory for me. It was as if Willow and I were just going for a walk and having a fun time. She captured the best of my dog during our photo session and I will forever be grateful for that. I would recommend her and her business to anyone!

"Our job with Max was simple, just have fun!"
We loved our session with Kelly!! We were nervous going into it that Maximus would be leery of a new person walking with us. This turned out to be no issue at all with Kelly. Max instantly loved Kelly and had no issue with her taking photographs as we played. We met in a park after a fresh snow. Our job with Max was simple, just have fun! While we were playing with Max, Kelly took photos of the joy between us and Max. Kelly was able to capture the bond between Maximus, Amy and I beautifully in her photos. Max loved playing in the snow with us and at times even seemed to “pose” for pictures! The best part of the day was being able to enjoy playing in the park and making memories while Kelly captured the moment forever with her camera.
We found Kelly easy to work with, fun loving, and very professional. The communication with Kelly was free and open resulting in amazing photos that we will treasure forever. It was so much fun after the session to view the photos. The most difficult part of the entire process was narrowing down what pictures we wanted. They all were outstanding! Kelly truly captured the love between us and Max. It was so beautiful to see.
We would highly recommend Kelly to anyone who is interested in a photo session with their pet. Kelly’s work is superb. Working with her is a pleasure. The entire process was enjoyable and stress free.
We will treasure our session forever.

"...we had no idea we would come away with great memories, amazing pictures and a new friend."
We booked a session with Kelly looking forward to some great pictures of our dogs, but we had no idea we would come away with great memories, amazing pictures and a new friend. She made the whole experience fun for us and our dogs. With three young dogs we didn't know what to expect, but Kelly turned almost every shot into a beautiful picture that captured our dogs just how they are. After our session, Kelly kept us up to date on the progress of our pictures. It was a quick turn around that gave us some beautiful pictures that we will cherish forever

"She captured every ounce of love and time I put into my pups..."
Kelly did more than just photograph my pups. She captured every ounce of love and time I put into my pups, and that they return. I was a little nervous about where we would go and if she would have spots that captured the right setting and look I wanted, but it was exactly what I wanted. She brought out the best pictures of myself and pups. I also was a little nervous about adding my boyfriend who is in the Air Force into the mix and she let him tag right along with all 3 of the pups. My favorite part was how much she wanted to know and got to know Blu and Tex. She asked individual questions and came so prepared. She even brought bubbles for Blu! It was also like she already knew them the day we had our shoot. It was so sweet how much she genuinely cared for my pups. Kelly went above and beyond with my pups' pictures! She is also very fun to work with and so supportive of military families! While my boyfriend is now away I have so many gorgeous pictures to have for keepsakes. I would recommend her and her business to anyone and I will continue to use her services as well!

"I will admit I was a little nervous... what if my dog wouldn't listen or pose well?"
I can't recommend her enough to other pet parents! I will admit I was a little nervous about the session. What if my dog wouldn't listen or wouldn't pose well? I wanted to make sure we got the "right" picture. Turns out, I didn't need to worry! She worked with him so well and was able to get many wonderful pictures!! She had great tips and tricks for the both of us. Hercules was able to enjoy himself throughout the session! That was a huge plus for me. My favorite part was seeing the final pictures in the slide show. She captured Hercules so well and was even able to grab a few sweet moments between him and I. These aren't just pictures, they're beautiful moments that I will treasure forever!

"I knew I would be emotional and nervous, but Kelly turned Jersey's last night on earth with us into an amazing memory..."
When I knew my sweet girl, Jersey, wasn't going to survive her health issues, I knew I wanted to capture some moments with her and my girls before we had to say goodbye. Kelly was the only person I would trust with this honor. She not only loves photography, but she loves dogs and knows how much a heart breaks when it's time to let them go. I knew I would be emotional and nervous, but Kelly turned Jersey's last night on earth with us into an amazing memory. Throughout the Zoe Session, I was able to watch my eleven year old grey-muzzled girl enjoy being outside with her humans as if there wasn't a care in the world. That is how comfortable Kelly makes her sessions. When the images were revealed, they took my breath away. These moments and the images that came with them will forever be something I'm grateful I did and I'm lucky someone so talented was available to guide us through it.

"Kelly put me at ease the minute I met her..."
Kelly put me at ease the minute I met her. She took time explaining everything, asking questions, and listening to my opinions. When I left I felt like Kelly knew a great deal about Phoebe and I felt comfortable about what would be happening at the session. I am so thankful that a close friend of mine gave Phoebe a photo session as a Christmas gift. Besides having beautiful pictures of Phoebe, the experience was both fun and gratifying.

"When I saw the slideshow of her pics I was in tears!"
What an amazing photo session Isabella had with Kelly! At Bell's age of 15 she does not always enjoy being out in parks or places with strange people so we did our photo shoot from our home in different areas so Bella would be comfortable and be herself and Kelly was so accommodating. I love professional photography and was thrilled to get the chance to have Kelly do a shoot with Bella. When I saw the slideshow of her pics I was in tears! Seeing our Bella and all of her mannerisms and joys in life being captured to print was beyond a blessing. She is a precious member of our family and these photos will be treasures forever in our home and in our hearts. With all of these moments of happiness captured in one book, we will cling to it tightly in the years to come with the memories and treasures it holds.

"Kelly did an amazing job listening to what we wanted and incorporated that with our personal style..."
Kelly did an amazing job listening to what we wanted regarding our photos and incorporated that with our personal style to create amazing photos. My favorite part of the process has been every time I had contact with Kelly. Her personality shines the minute you open an email, talk to her on the phone, meet her in person, or open a card. I also love how even after our session was complete, she continues to stay in contact.

"...an outstanding job capturing Taz and Mayzie's character."
Kelly did an outstanding job capturing Taz and Mayzie's character. She was so much fun and easy to work with as she knows what kinds of shots work well, but she also takes suggestions to tailor to your liking. The pictures turned out awesome, we couldn't be happier. It was a great experience.

"I feel as though she understood how much we love Sully..."
Kelly was amazing in every aspect! She was wonderful with my 2 little girls and did so great with our big man, Sully. We laughed and chit chatted in between shots and I feel as though she understood how much we love Sully. It was great being in the presence of someone who truly has passion for what they do! And even when Sully found a big mud puddle to lay in and called off the shoot, Kelly still kept her camera rolling to capture the true personality of our giant goofball. It was a great day that I will remember always!

"...so personal, fun, and enjoyable!"
I'm so glad I did the photo shoot to have precious picture memories of Susie. Kelly made the viewing session so comfortable, as we were still grieving her loss. Not only are Kelly's photos top notch, and truly capture the personality of your pet, but she makes it so personal, fun, and enjoyable!

"...by the end of the session both dogs thought Kelly was their new playmate!"
The photoshoot with our two guys was such a great experience; all due to Kelly. She is the ultimate professional and so warm and friendly she puts everyone at ease immediately. I wasn't too confident this was going to be a successful endeavor because our 2 labs are pretty independent. But, by the end of the session both dogs thought Kelly was their new playmate! At the end of the session, we were all tired. This was hard work having this much fun! I still wasn't totally convinced we had managed to get very many good pictures as it seemed the dogs hadn't cooperated. Imagine my surprise when we met with Kelly a few days later to look at the pictures! She captured their personalities perfectly.

"My favorite part of the whole process was actually being at the location..."
My biggest fear going into the photoshoot was that Molly wouldn't look at the camera since I've had problems with that in the past. Kelly was able to get past that and got some amazing pictures of Molly being herself. My favorite part of the whole process was actually being at the location trying to get the pictures since Molly was being her stubborn self. And, if I were to recommend her (which I have) I tell people that she knows dogs and how to get on their level to get the best pictures!
