Philosophy

Photography That Makes You Feel Something

Your story deserves to be seen, felt, and remembered. Through a blend of editorial refinement and documentary storytelling, I create imagery that feels alive, cinematic, and deeply human—crafted to evoke meaning, not just aesthetics.

Whether you're a brand, creative, or family, our collaboration is more than just a photoshoot—it's an intuitive, artful experience designed to capture your essence. From art direction to styling and storytelling, I guide you every step of the way, ensuring your photographs feel as authentic and compelling as you are.

Based in Portland, Oregon. Working with brands & individuals worldwide.

About Me

I’m Kelli, the youngest of four daughters, raised with Swedish-Tejana roots and a deep love for storytelling. I photograph individuals, families, and businesses who seek authentic, artful, and visually compelling imagery. My passion is creating work that reveals the fleeting beauty of life—capturing the moments you want to hold onto forever.

I believe presence is everything. Photography isn’t just about the image—it’s about seeing yourself fully, embracing the honesty and beauty in who you are. Through my work, I aim to open a door to deeper connection—with yourself, your loved ones, and your story.

I’m grateful you’re here. Let’s create something meaningful together.
