and have a load of fun while doing it! I believe that portraits are timeless but they should also not cause a massive anxiety attack. When I was a senior, the choices were slim- the mass volume studios, with a "cattle call" feel. Every image looked the same, I looked just like everyone else- no personality or style. Now, when I look back, I want to know WHO I WAS, and I am stuck with boring photos from my own senior year.
In the end, I want to give my clients the best experience possible but make it easy and fun for them too. From our first chat about your session, to the final artwork that will hang in your home, I want the process to be amazing, and most of all, FUN! We want you to love your photos, feel more confident, and end the experience with something you will treasure. We can't wait to tell your story!
THE GOAL is very simple.
I'm here to help you have incredible PHOTOS that tell your authentic STORY.
Hey Y'all.
I'm Kelleen.
...but everyone who knows me well, calls me Kelly.
I think they should, because your story is unlike anyone else's...
And I think you should love the process and the results.
Right now you at the most magical place! How do I know that? Because that's life and you will NEVER be in this exact place again. My goal is to capture it this moment so you can you enjoy it for years to come because life is like a blur. The Family gathering, your last year of high school, the empty nest feeling, the new business YOU. All of these moments are your incredible story and my goal is to give you modern and colorful photos that capture the real you, and show you in your most confident light.
In the end, I want to give my clients the best and most revolutionary experience possible. From our first chat, to the artwork that will hang in your home, I want the process to be amazing, and most of all, FUN!
A little about me... I have lived in Jacksonville since 1984. I went to high school here, too! I graduated from UF {Go gators!} with a degree in Finance and Economics. I have 4 kiddos, and one fabulous husband. I love to travel, I love to eat out, I love coffee and wine, and I love to shop! I try and laugh a lot, not take myself TOO seriously... And I will admit, I don't love having my photo taken either, but we do it anyways, because life goes by so fast, and these memories are worth it!
