I have been a hobby photographer for several years. The first time I remember really picking up a camera and thinking about creating "art" I was in middle school. I've always enjoyed drawing and other mediums, but there was always something extra special about photography.
I took a film photography class in college, and really learned what goes into the chemistry of film and developing. It was such a great experience, and gave me a deep respect for where photography started and where it is now.
Now, years later, photography is my full-time job (along with being a mom), and I continue to grow in knowledge and passion everyday. I can't wait to work with you to create art unique to YOU!
I love the warm golden tones of the world. Carson City and the surrounding areas have the best earth-y colors to enjoy. My style is a mixture of posing and organic "lifestyle" photography. You get a little bit of everything during your session, and I work my hardest to get the most genuine smiles for your forever memories, even if that means doing goofy dances or making fart noises for the kids!

"Such a great experience with Kelsea for our newborn photos. She responded quickly and we scheduled a time that worked for both of us. She was so great with our daughter and really paid attention to the special details that we wanted to highlight. We are so so happy with the photos and glad we found Kelsea to capture these precious moments!"

"Best photographer! Kelsea makes you feel like you've known her for ages. My kids felt so comfortable with her and she was able to capture the most beautiful photos. Highly recommend her and will be booking with her for all our family photos."

"Kelsea made this a fun and enjoyable experience. I treated my parents to a couples shoot as well as some photos with my mother and I. My dad is not very comfortable in front of the camera but he even had fun."

"Where do I start? Kelsea is just truly amazing and has an eye for what she does. She manages to capture perfectly beautiful candid photos between all the 'staged' ones that just look so absolutely perfect in their natural ways. She is SO great with kids and she has absolutely zero hold backs on being silly and bringing the sillies out of the kids too. 1000% recommend her forever always!"

"Such an amazing experience. Our son was so grumpy and the weather was so windy and it even started to sprinkle...we still came out with the most amazing pictures of our son's first birthday and even got some family ones. Not only is Kelsea an amazing photographer but she's such a blast to be around, We can't wait to work with her again!"
