I'm Kelly Smith, the heart and soul behind Kelz Photography. As a dedicated photographer, wife, and dog mother, I am committed to delivering exceptional experiences and timeless memories. My journey in photography began over ten years ago, driven by a passion for storytelling and a love for capturing life's most precious moments. I believe in the power of images to convey emotions and tell stories that words often cannot. With a keen eye for detail and a heart for storytelling, I ensure that every session is as unique as you are. Let's create something beautiful together.

About Kelly

hey beautiful

- Kathy a.

"Kelly made our sessions so relaxed, while being patient (super important for a photo shoot involving a toddler) and giving great direction for different poses or picture locations. And her finished work did not disappoint! She not only got our pictures back to us within a few days but in the exact the "look" and "style" I was looking to get. These are pictures I will cherish forever."

- Bridget W.

"love her she is amazing and does amazing work!!!!"

One day, all your children will have is pictures of you. Make sure you’re in them. No matter what your hair looks like, your makeup, or your body, they won’t care about any of that, they’ll just want to see you.
