Hi, I’m Kelsey — the face behind Kelsey Kaye Photography.
I believe every stage of life deserves to be remembered. From tiny newborn fingers wrapped around yours, to chubby milestone smiles, to the joy of a family together — these are the moments that pass all too quickly.
My heart is to capture them in a way that feels real, timeless, and deeply personal.

My Story
Photography has been part of my life for years, but my passion for it truly grew as I built my own family. I know how fast the seasons change. Babies grow into toddlers, toddlers into kids, and before we know it, we’re looking back wondering how it all happened so quickly. Picking up my camera has always been my way of holding on to those fleeting seasons — and now I get to give that gift to other families, too.
After he challenges of the Covid season, I stepped away from photography for a while. To say a piece of me has been missing for these past 3 years would be a severe understatement.
Coming back has been such a joy — a reminder that this work isn’t just about photos, but about connection, legacy, and celebrating the lives God has given us.
What You Can Expect
When you step into a session with me, you’re not just hiring a photographer — you’re gaining someone who is:
Calm and patient (because little ones run the show sometimes!)
Focused on safety (especially with newborns — every pose and setup is baby-led)
A storyteller (I don’t just click a button; I look for those in-between moments that show your family’s personality)
An encourager (I know being in front of the camera can feel awkward — I’ll guide you so it feels easy and natural).
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me with my husband and kids, serving in our church,
or curled up with a coffee dreaming up new creative projects. I’m passionate about building relationships, making people feel seen, and leaving every space I enter a little brighter than I found it. Faith and family are my foundation, and photography is my way of weaving those values into something lasting. It’s not just about pretty pictures; it’s about preserving the stories that matter most to you.
