This is where your story comes to life

Family Portraits

think of me as your storyteller

If you want a tangible reminder of the love, laughter, and bonds shared between your family, I'm your girl!  My goal is to capture the connection and love between your family so you can feel it when you look at your images now and for generations to come.

 As a mama of  3 kiddos myself, I know how hectic life can get. From scouting amazing backdrops to tell your story, to style guidance, to a memorable session, to creating stunning heirloom art with your images. I take care of all the things that can make family photos feel stressful.

I am passionate about creating a stress free- family approved session approach.  Just show up to your session ready to love on your babies, be your authentic selves, have fun, and together we will embrace whatever chaos comes our way.  Through guidance and prompts you can expect a masterful blend of lifestyle and posed photography including all the big and little moments. 

It is my absolute honor to tell your most precious story.

NAture & Sunset

In the enchanting place where the land of 10,000 lakes kiss the sky, I have found solace and endless wonder. The beach and nature, my cherished sanctuary, holds a profound place in my heart. Here, time slows down, granting a respite from the chaos of everyday life. It is here just before sunset, with the painted sky, that my creativity finds its wings.
I like to encourage clients to take in their surroundings and have fun. I invite you to not only love on your family but play together, splash in the water, spin your toddler in your arms, let your child lead the way. My goal is to capture the pure joy and raw moments that you know and see every day.

Client love

Keela is absolutely amazing! Even with bad weather she managed to capture beautiful photos of our family. She was great with the kids and worked fast! I would highly recommend her!
