ABOUT ME

My name is Kelsey and I am wedding photographer based in Portland, Oregon (but eager to travel!). I’ve known real, authentic, beautiful love for over a decade and I believe in yours too. I have two pups, a golden boy named Aspen and a corgi named Ava, who hold a BIG piece of my heart. The biggest piece is held by my hunny who I’ve been loving since the age of 15. Whether its with your bae, your kiddos, your furbabies, or YOU, I want to be a part of it all.
