KELSEY DAWN

"I wish I could relive that

Imagine yourself twenty years from now - you're talking to your husband about the “old days” when you were young and crazy in love. You start to reminisce on the day of your wedding. You say, “I wish I could relive that day just one more time.”

Your husband walks over to a shelf, pulls out your wedding album, pours a glass of wine, and turns on your wedding music. You can actually feel the memories flood back in as you flip through the pages.

For me, this journey of curating meaningful images came in when I was just a young child. I flipped through old photos from my own family's past and spent hours building scrapbooks to pass the time. Fast forward to today and I now create beautiful and honest moments for soulful couples to treasure and share as heirlooms for future generations to come.

day just one more time..."

That just-married feeling.

I believe that every moment matters. This chapter of your story, no matter the circumstances, is beautiful, and it won't stay like this for long. Time is unforgiving. Your present moment deserves to be documented in an honest and artful way.

“In the right light, at the right time, everything is extraordinary.”

Aaron Rose

The magic on your wedding day is a grandparent witnessing the first look from a nearby window, a sweet glance from your best friend across the room, a happy tear shed by the cousin who never cries, some abandoned heels when the dance floor was calling. I wanna help you remember all the sweet moments from your wedding day but also show you the special moments you may wish you hadn't missed.

"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."

FAQ

You photos feel candid, does this mean you don't pose people?

I totally pose my clients! I love to capture candid and authentic moments but I will guide you into that throughout the photo session. Authenticity will be the overall feel of your images but I do get the smiling at the camera shots, too! 

I have inspiration Pinterests boards for just about everything! If you don’t know what to wear to your session, shoot me an email or text and I’ll give you some advice. I love being able to match an outfit to the location!

What do I wear to my session?

Your images will be delivered in an online gallery where you can view, share, download, print, and purchase products from.


How will I receive my images?

For family and engagement sessions, three weeks. For weddings, six weeks.

What is your turnaround time?

It's important to note that NONE of my clients are models. It’s my job to make sure you’re comfortable. Just remember to relax and have fun! It’s gonna be a great time. 



What if I'm so awkward in front of the camera?

Definitely! Ask about my travel rates.


Do you travel?

Yes! You will receive high-resolution images from your wedding or session to print, and I actually encourage it! Please print them. Hold them. Gift them.



Will I be able to print my images?

I recommend picking a location that is special to you whether that be in your home, in your yard, on your family’s land, or at the coffee shop that you met your spouse. We can work together to find the perfect spot for you!
