MEET KELLIE
I was raised on an Angus cattle and cropping farm on the beautiful Mid North Coast of NSW, so country life has always been a big part of who I am. I met my husband and best friend, James, at university, and together we’re now raising our family on our own little farm near Macksville.
I’m a mum of three and absolutely love spending time with my family and enjoying the beautiful, simple life we’ve created on our farm. It’s also where I photograph many of my sessions, and I love being able to share a little piece of our home with the families and couples I photograph.
Alongside photography, I work part time for NSW Health, and I genuinely love the balance between the two. Photography gives me a creative outlet and the opportunity to meet so many wonderful people and capture some of the most meaningful moments in their lives.
After 10 years as a wedding and family photographer, I still feel incredibly lucky to do this work. Being trusted to capture weddings, growing families and all those important chapters in between is something I never take for granted.
WHY I LOVE WHAT I DO
Photography started as a passion that I have made into a career. I never dreamt that I would get to call it work but I’m so grateful that I have this opportunity.
I love to tell stories and create art using the right light and composition. Weddings are my favourite as there as so many different elements to a wedding day and such an array of emotions – the atmosphere is electric and the people high on love. I look to capture not just the feeling that we call ‘love’, but the moments in which love is expressed. This rings true when photographing other milestones as well as I also specialise in lifestyle photography, including maternity, newborn, and special occasion shoots. It’s a true honour being a small part of these significant times in people’s lives.
It’s important to me to build relationships with my clients to ensure that we’re comfortable with one another, and so they’re relaxed enough to be their most authentic selves in front of the lens.
You want photos that get to the heart of you and those you love, not photos that reflect a photographer’s favourite pose. I want to take photos that you’ll cherish. I want to surprise you with images that you didn’t even know you wanted, until I show them to you. Every picture I capture is from the heart.
The better I know you as a couple or as a family, the better I’m able to tell your story.
