I love weddings, and I'll probably cry at yours. I will. They never get old. I love every little detail of them and it’s fascinating to see the quirky little personal spins that each couple put on the tradition.

Hello & welcome! I'm Kelsey. I'm a mother, a wife, a creator, and adventurer. When I'm not curating beautiful imagery with outstanding couples and families, you can find me curled up on the couch reading a book side-by-side with my son or planning our family's next travel adventure. 

Kelsey Dawn

"She is so down to earth, friendly, and makes you feel so comfortable. I will be forever grateful that I chose her as my photographer for my wedding day."
