"She truly has captivated every single photo "
"We had the pleasure of working with Kelly from the day of our engagement all the way up to our wedding day! This includes the day we got engaged, + engagement photo session. She truly has captivated every single photo of every single session. Kelly ensured that she would captivate our vision through frequent conversations and questions which I highly appreciated! She also provided many pose suggestions throughout each session which I also truly appreciated. Work with Kelly!!! You will not be disappointed!"

"Kelly Jo is an absolute gem. Not only is she incredibly talented, but she also felt like a dear friend throughout the entire process. Her packages area steal considering the top notch quality and services she delivers. Kelly and her daughter, her second shooter, bring a fun atmosphere while maintaining utmost professionalism. The best part? We received out entire album in record time. Kelly Jo is simply the best choice for capturing your special day with her light, airy, and heartfelt approach."

"We are forever grateful..."
"Kelly was absolutely amazing!!! She and her team made sure everything ran smoothly. She was so calm which was such a blessing as pulling off a wedding always comes with a bit of stress. She was able to give suggestions, pivot with weather and got amazing shots all while making us feel so special! Thank you so much, we are forever grateful!"

"Made me feel at ease the entire day of the wedding!"
"I highly recommend Kelly Jo as a photographer! Kelly and her daughter, Taylor were SO amazing to work with! Kelly was so prompt and easy to communicate with prior to the wedding and made me feel at ease the entire day of the wedding! Her daughter Taylor, was so helpful from giving us suggestions on how to pose to holding my drink and appetizers while shooting pictures. Our sneak peeks came a few days after the wedding and were absolutely gorgeous!"
