I often get asked what makes a family session work. How to capture the spark that exists between siblings, or a mother & child. The truth is, there’s no “formula” or trick of the trade for these shoots. It’s all about the family & how willing they are to share their connection with me…
This family is my photo-soul mate. They’ll roll around in a field, laugh uncontrollably & allow themselves to get lost in a moment. I’ve been photographing the boys for 3 years now & have loved every session, but this one just melts me…
From left to right…meet Max, Paolo, and the fireball..Nino.










There is so much love wrapped up in this little moment….I want to dive in and live there :)

Amy-you’re gorgeous…I mean, really..



Kellie... 





This is why I can not see myself not shooting kids and families, people sometimes compliment a photo of mine saying they want a creative shot too and I am like yikes, it is just an on the spot thing most likely sparked by the clients, I love how each boy has such a personality and the emotion felt in these photos
The youngest little guy in that family is absolutely precious:) Lovely work, Kellie!
These images are gorgeous! You have captured something in the family that they could have never got at Olan Mills.
Another beautiful photo shoot!
gorgeous family…gorgeous pics
These are more like poems than photographs. You caught Paolo’s perfect little face before he outgrew it. You found Nino’s sweet-hearted, mischievous sparkle. And you followed Massimo in a beautiful blur of self-guided curiosity. No wonder people who don’t even know us are moved by your work. Adore! Adore! Adore!!!
Absolutely beautiful…the kids, the family, the pictures! I feel like I’m watching these children grow up and I don’t even know them! Great job as usual, Kellie!
These pictures really make my heart smile. They are such a beautiful family. Amazing work as always Kellie. :)
These are gorgeous! I like the way they all flow in a natural way and have that happy feel to them. Wonderful job on these!
yes ma’am!! you get to photograph the best looking families and capture the best moments!
WOW!! Another fabulous photo shoot!!
OMGOSH! is it any wonder why our whole family loves Kellie! amy and brian have such a beautiful family, inside and out and Kellie always manages to capture the spirit as well as the smiles!!
Kellie, I’ve been moved out of lurkdom to comment on these truly wonderful images. Sometimes when I’m blog browsing for inspiration, education and motivation, I find some images that lodge in my memory for months. These are some of those. Thank you!
