Working with Kelsey was a DREAM! My fiancé and I had never done professional photography before and she made the whole process smooth and made both of us feel comfortable. I'm super picky with how photos are edited but her pictures on instagram are what sold the deal. Thank you SO much Kelsey!

Kelsey was SO fun to work with. I did my maternity shoot on Sunday with her & got my gallery back today! Such a quick turn around!(4 days)my husband and I are definitely not the couple to take photos together professionally but She made the photoshoot fun, and made sure that I had all the pictures that I wanted before finishing the session. We got right to the photoshoot & got so many beautiful memories! I will definitely be using her again in the future to capture my family & be recommending her to anyone in need. Very affordable, reliable & such a talented woman!

Kelsey is amazing! Not only does she take incredible photos, but the energy she brings is so fun and welcoming! Finding someone you can vibe with is huge when it comes to photos and she engages so effortlessly! You WONT regret booking her. Seriously.

After being impressed with a few pics that Kelsey had done, I took a leap of faith and hired her to shoot my wedding knowing mine would be her first solo lead wedding. She did amazing! Beyond amazing actually! She was professional all day, followed us around and was always RIGHT there to capture it all. The pictures turned out fantastic. I would absolutely recommend her to anyone. I’m already planning on my next event that she can come shoot.

I have worked with Kelsey several times getting photos done for my yoga business. She has a keen eye and captures me and my yoga practice in a way that no other photographer has. Not to mention, she is a genuinely kind and caring person, and it truly shows in the work that she does! She takes her time getting amazing shots, and edits them in a way that makes each session feel unique and special. As long as I live in Oregon, I will always go to her for my photography needs. Highly recommend!

I'm starting a wellness blog and had my photos taken by Kelsey Straus Photography, and wow, I am seriously obsessed with each and every one of them! During the shoot, Kelsey made me feel comfortable and cute behind the camera (a super hard thing to do since I usually feel really self conscious and like a potato when anyone is taking photos of me) and she had a ton of great posing ideas and knew the best places for where to take photos. Plus, Kelsey is just a really fun human being to be around and easy to talk to. I immediately loved her and felt like we became instant friends. And the best part? She edited and delivered the photos to me in a very quick timeline. I can't wait to use these photos on my website and social media. Thank you so much Kelsey for making me feel beautiful! I recommend Kelsey 100%!

Kelsey is a wonderful, gentle human being who happens to be an extremely talented photographer. Before my maternity shoot I was nervous, uncomfortable in my own (changing) skin, and a little overwhelmed to memorialize this part of my pregnancy although I knew how much it would mean to me to have photos later. I can’t explain how comfortable Kelsey made me (and my husband) feel, how gentle and compassionate she was, and how non-pressured, and FUN the shoot was. I look over the finished photos and can’t help but get emotional because she truly caught all the happiest, most joyous parts of this time in my growing family’s life.

I originally met Kelsey through modeling for a collaborative project someone I knew was running. Right away my boyfriend and I adored her. So much that I chose her for our family photos a few months later. Kelsey is courteous, flexible and punctual and as a working mom I fully appreciate that. I have a wild ten yr old, a 3 month old puppy and a self proclaimed old man boyfriend and Kelsey navigated our session with ease each time. She makes you feel comfortable and not pressured to be stuck in poses. Before we started she asked what kind of vibe we were going for and if there were certain photos we knew we wanted to take. She gives direction and tips for people like my boyfriend who hate being in front of a camera. He 100% hates getting photos taken but this last session when he saw it was Kelsey he said “ I was glad it was her. I like being around her” and although those reading this don’t know him that’s a big feat. Hire Kelsey. Again and again. You won’t be disappointed.
