Hey you beautiful soul, YOU!

Happy you clicked here!

Hello! I'm Kelsey! The >>>down to earth<<< lady   behind the lens! Dedicated to providing an easy-going, up-beat, and stress-free photo experience to all in front of the lens!

If you're already thinking that I love photographs, because I'm a photographer, then you are absolutely right! Let's chat about what you might not already know! Here's a bit about what I do, and mostly how it affects YOU.

My style of art isn't just giving you back the photos you thought you were investing in me for, it's more about those in-between fleeting moments you didn't even know existed while I was there. The thrilling "how did you get that?” type of photograph leading up to the expected photograph is what my photography style zones in on.

My mindful method to this approach is allowing you to remember how it felt to really be there in the moment, with photographs that evoke emotion and shine on your story. Forcing someone to smile isn't what I do, but finding ways to allow the true smile to burst from its shell naturally, is exactly what I do!

The art of a photograph is about remembering how a particular moment looked, but also how it felt. I'm someone who will work all hours of the night, as long as it means getting the job done right! Know I'm obsessed with my "job" and will always go above & beyond for my clients.

I love new perspectives, and seeing life outside of my own reality. Which is why no matter if we are complete opposites or if you could be my soul-sister, we should work together! If, and only if, you want high quality images that reflect the you--that you are!

I live for new experiences, and meeting friendly faces near, far, and wherever you are!

MINNESOTA WEDDING AND PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER

My home base for my photography business isn't just one location... it's actually two!

• Albany, MN is where my dad and I crop farm (acreage for photoshoots)!
• Sauk Rapids, MN is the farm site where my studio will be located.           

Now, you're probably thinking, what if I'm not from around Albany, MN or Sauk Rapids, MN.... then what? I'm here to explain! You definitely don't need to be from or near these two cities to work with me. I LOVE traveling to new locations, and getting out of my normal reality. I specialize in weddings and family photography across all parts of central MN. If you don't land in this category, don't hesitate to reach out! Let's chat! I'd love the opportunity to get to know where you're from, and where you'd like the wedding/photoshoot to be at!

I'm down for being an adventurous photographer.... if you are down for investing in one!

I'm happily addicted to being a photographer who strives to go above & beyond for my clients

About You
