Introduction

!! PLEASE READ BEFORE CHECKING MY AVAILABILITY !! Thumbtack charges each vendor a significant fee as soon as you reach out to us, so please take your time to review your options (check out profiles, reviews, samples, etc.) before contacting the vendor you want to move forward with. If you have any questions, please reach out to me via my website's contact form. Hi There! My name is Kelli (She/They - LBGTQ+) and I have been a professional photographer for over 10 years. I specialize in Weddings, Couples, and Families. My shooting style is casual & candid. I love capturing natural interactions and love between individuals and families. My ideal clients are willing to have fun in front of the camera and have a specific vision for their shoot. My editing style is what I would call "enhanced" true-to-color photography with the option to add film-like grain or glow for a cinematic effect. If all of that sounds good to you or if you have any questions. Feel free to reach out to me via my website's contact form.

Kelli was a thorough professional from start to finish, who went above and beyond what is expected of a photographer. They helped me choose a great spot outdoors for the photo-shoot, gave me a bit of much-needed fashion advice (:P) and bore with me over multiple iterations of edits! Great quality of work, which my hard-to-please family greatly appreciated! Highly recommend Kelli for any portrait photography needs!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My standard rate is $400/hr for most shoots. If you are low-income and looking for photography, please specify in your outreach.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I require a 50% deposit in order to book the time and date of the shoot. This is non-refundable but will be used as a credit towards your total invoice. Before the shoot, we will have a 15-30 minute call to chat about your vision. This can be extended as necessary for engagement or wedding shoots.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I've been taking photos since I was a teenager and have taken photography courses in both Digital and Film Photography during High School and Middle School.
