Best decision!

Kelsey was instrumental to helping us capture our special day! From the beginning, she was so easy to work with and we had a sense of peace throughout the whole process. She was so flexible in suggesting Engagement shoot locations, made the actual shoot such a fun experience, and the photos were returned in such a prompt manner. Fast forward to our wedding day - she absolutely killed it! She was so flexible with the heat and ensuring we got all the pictures we wanted but taking breaks when needed. She captured who we are as a couple in such a beautiful way, we straight up cried looking through our photos and getting to relive our favorite day. Kelsey is truly an artist and we are so thankful for her!

10 stars for Kelsey!

There are so many great things to say about Kelsey. She is very professional, quick to respond, and makes you feel so special. I hired Kelsey for my engagement photos and for my wedding. She is very quick to deliver sneak peeks (within 24 hours!) and she sent me many to admire while I wait for the rest. Kelsey's pictures are AMAZING. Every time I see her posts I am blown away. Kelsey cares so much about her clients and takes great pride in her business. I recommend Kelsey to everyone I know who is looking for a photographer. Thank you so much Kelsey!

Best Photographer in PDX

I've admired Kelsey's work for years and finally got the chance to book her! We're from out of town but chose Portland for its picturesque natural locations and special emotional attachment.

Kelsey has a welcoming personality and was easy to work with from the get-go. She provided us with a helpful guidebook to get things started. We went back and forth on deciding a location, but Kelsey was patient in every email. She provided insightful information so we could weigh our options carefully.

We finally chose Wahclella Falls as our location and had a great sunset session with her! We're both timid behind the camera, but Kelsey made us feel comfortable (no liquid luck needed, just her kind reassurances). She photographed our candid moments beautifully and posed us organically. She captured our moments almost as if she's known us our whole lives. We were privileged to have worked with her and won't hesitate to choose her again!
