Woke up missing the beach and this specific sight this morning. 💛 When Alex and I went to the beach last September, it was to escape the heat of Portland, and it was overcast and rainy. We also spent the whole weekend sleeping, which really tells y
Mentally, I am here. 🚀
I photographed my first wedding of the season last night, so I am exhausted today! 😂 I was gonna do a more elaborate post, but we’ll save that for another day. We went to Disneyland at the beginning of May, and I just finished editing the pho
Got two fast and furious days in Disneyland this week. We’re already making plans to be back next Halloween. It feels like the older we get with relationships, it’s harder to come across mutual firsts. Taking a trip like this with a par
“You're growing and that scares people, it frightens the shit out of them because they know if they don't step up within themselves you'll move forward with out them. When this happens, don't you dare settle to suit the mould - have courage to
I love going back to past shoots to update the editing, and revisiting photos that I didn’t pick for whatever reason. It’s such a fun nostalgia trip, especially remember the adventures with friends. All the moments inspired by “you

Small World ride: love it? Hate it? Can live without it? Good excuse to sit for ten minutes? 🧐
“The Hills' colors originate from 35 million years ago, when this area was an ancient river floodplain. The colored bands are due to changes in climate that occurred as they were distributed through time. As the climate changed to a more tropic
In my mind, I’m sunning myself in the nice warm sunshine, with a gentle breeze passing through. Being over winter came real fast this time. 😂 . . . #kkellyphotography #lightroom #canonphotography #paintedhills #paintedhillsoregon #pdxphotog
Yes, it’s true: my photog account is occasionally a @oh_blivi8. Especially now that she lives across the country. 😭 Anyway, here are further re-edits. This was just the first setup of the day. Utilizing that daylight as the sole light source.
It’s that time again when I get the itch to revisit an old shoot and re-edit photos. Usually to update to my current editing style, but also to find shots that I passed over the first time. I need to get back to the Painted Hills. This one tim
Last summer I ended up photographing a lot of surprise proposals, and absolutely love it. It was so much fun and lovely, and hilarious that majority of them were visiting from out of town! For this one, I was hiding in the vineyard with the boyfrie
I miss doing random photo adventures with my friends. ✨ And have I stumbled into a new editing aesthetic to obsess about? Perhaps. 😂 . . . #kkellyphotography #beforecovid #paintedhills #paintedhillsoregon #centraloregon #blackandwhitephotography #
My mom was going through old albums a few weeks ago, and sent us phone pics of photos she found from Disneyland in the 60s. I think. So, these phot edits are inspired by that. More so the second photo than the first one. The first one has more 70s
2021 was a lot. 😅 Like, no reflection post, but just damn, we got through it. And that’s enough. Because it was a lot. Again. 😂 On to the next! 🥂 . . . #kkellyphotography #pdxphotographer #pnw #pnwphotographer #compositephotography #fantas
It’s so bonkers that @jessidwalters and I did this athletic shoot for her portfolio last April. And it was a surprising and needed beautiful spring day! Of course some of my favorites are the in-between moments of laughter and goofing around.
Looking through family vacation photos from August (remember warm sun?), and forgot about these precious photos of our family dog, Charlie. 🐶 Swipe for a mlem! 👅 . . . #kkellyphotography #charliedog #sunshinecharlie #labrador #yellowlab #goldenlab
There’s something about the last couple of weeks that have felt like I’m on the Tower of Terror, white-knuckling the seat grips, waiting for the ride to be over. 😂 And yes, this is a true analogy that I’ve done. Twice. ☠️ Oh, why?
