Kelsey made our engagement photo dreams come true at Cape Lookout Lighthouse, ferry and all. My fiancé, who generally hates photos, said he enjoyed the shoot. She posed us perfectly and the results were stunning. I don’t know what kind of camera magic she has, but it’s working!

If you are searching for a photographer in the Atlantic Beach, NC area, STOP right here & book with Kelsey immediately!! She will exceed your expectations!!! Kelsey is very professional, super sweet and is amazing at her job. We could not have chosen a better photographer for our wedding day! She even assisted with things that had nothing to do with a camera with no hesitation! She truly cares about doing everything she can to make sure the bride and groom/customer experience is as perfect as possible. I will forever love and appreciate her! 🥹

This may have been one of the best photography experiences my daughter and I have ever done. Kelsey was patient, creative, and there are not enough words to explain how beautiful my daughter’s senior pictures turned out. We will be booking again soon!

If you are looking to have professional photos done, I highly suggest Kelsey! She truly has a gift. She made the whole process so easy and our session so fun, and the pictures turned out so great. We will definitely have her take pictures for us again!

Our photographer cancelled 30 minutes before our engagement photos. We went to the beach anyway, saw Kelsey photographing someone, and she agreed to do our photos on the spot. She made the shoot fun and relaxed, and the sneak peek she sent is perfect!

Kelsey was absolutely amazing. Professional, funny, and pleasant to be around, she never made us feel awkward in front of the camera. She was always on time and prepared, and generous with her time. Our photos came out phenomenal, and she is one of the best photographers we’ve met.

Kelsey took my daughter’s senior photos and we could not have asked for a better experience. My daughter was so nervous beforehand and had so much fun during the session. The photos came back quickly and they are beautiful. I cried when I saw them. Thank you, Kelsey!

I cannot recommend Kelsey enough. She went above and beyond for our wedding and we are IN LOVE with the photos. We had some complicated logistics and moving parts for the ceremony but Kelsey was so flexible and understanding throughout the process and going with the flow of whatever the day brought. On top of that, she's a lovely person, interacted with all of our guests, and captured the most beautiful candid pictures of everyone enjoying themselves. If you're considering Kelsey for your wedding or any event you will not regret it!

Kelsey is amazing!! She was super easy to communicate with and really flexible with scheduling which made everything so much less stressful. She made me feel so comfortable during the shoot. The turnaround on the photos was so fast, I was NOT expecting them that quickly. 10/10 would recommend her if you need a photographer, especially for grad pics!!

Kelsey was absolutely amazing!! She made me feel so comfortable in front of the camera and It felt like she really cared about the session. She was so polite and encouraging throughout and I never felt rushed. She took her time with every outfit/location and made sure that everything was perfect. The photos turned out beautiful and I am so glad we found her as my senior photographer!

Kelsey is so accommodating and professional. We have booked her for family portraits and to capture our engagement! We love the way the pictures turned out and would recommend her to anyone. Thank you so much!!

This is now our SECOND time working with Kelsey and once again, she absolutely nailed it! Our first go round consisted of a family photo shoot at our grandmother’s dock house in Beaufort, NC and she did such a wonderful job. Recently, she was able to capture our maternity session at Fort Macon and equally produced incredible photographs of such a significant moment in our lives! I highly recommend using her services and I look forward to working with her in the future once our daughter arrives.

Kelsey was absolutely amazing to work with! From my very first interaction with her over email, she was attentive, helpful, and became a true partner throughout the entire process. She not only did a phenomenal job capturing my surprise proposal, but she also went above and beyond to help me plan—and even scout—the perfect evening along the waterfront in Beaufort for my now-fiancée. Working with Kelsey felt like spending time with someone I’d known for years. She made us feel completely comfortable while capturing stunning photos that we’ll cherish for a lifetime. Her talent, professionalism, and genuine care are evident in every photo and interaction. I can’t recommend Kelsey highly enough, and I have no doubt you’ll feel the same if you make the best decision you can by choosing her as your photographer!

Kelsey was so easy to work with. She really knows how to shoot a family photo session with small children. She was so great at getting good candidates while the kids just played on the beach. Would love to work with her again.

Past Sessions
Every session ends with a gallery of your own. Here are a few real ones, so you can picture what yours could look like.

Hey Senior
Senior year is full of memories, a time when hard decisions are made, and a lot of changes. I was there and I remember all of those feelings. That is why my number one priority for your session is to capture images that reflect you during this season of your life! If you play sports, bring your equipment and jersey with you! Do you love theater? Let’s capture that! Bring your dog to your session! Do you have a hobby that you love? Let's find a way to incorporate it into your session. This is a time to celebrate YOU!
I want your photos to reflect your personality. That is why I create a unique experience for every senior I work with. My goal is to help make you feel comfortable in front of the camera so we are able to capture authentic smiles. We can accomplish this by creating a plan before the session so we can solely focus on creating beautiful images during your session.

My approach
If you decide to book with me I will send a contract your way so we can make it official! Then we get to start the fun part of planning your session. I will send you a style guide to help you get an idea of what you want your session to look like and answer some frequently asked questions. From there I will send you a questionnaire so I can get to know you better! This helps me customize your session to feel exactly like you.
When we first meet up for your session I like to see the outfit choices you brought with you. Then we will figure out what outfit will look best at what location. Then we will get shooting! I will start you out with easy poses (the ones for Mom and Grandma's fridge) and work our way up to the fun candid prompts. I will be there showing you exactly what to do the whole time! I might start some prompts by saying “You might feel silly doing this next one but trust me it’s cute”. Just go with it! I will also have my speaker with me so we can jam out during your session! Song requests are strongly encouraged.
When you get your images back there will not be any crazy, over-the-top editing that makes you look like a plastic doll. That's not what we do here. Your images will be natural and bright with light retouching!
