FINE ART FAMILY PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHER
Artful coastal imagery rooted in faith, reverence, and delight for families who believe their lives are a blessing worth honoring.
Serving families along Florida's Gulf Coast
St. George Island, Navarre Beach, Cape San Blas + Surrounding Areas
I photograph families with a deep reverence for the life God has given them.
The people they love, the seasons they’re experiencing, and the beauty of walking through life together.
These portraits are not about perfection or performance.
They are about presence.
About pausing long enough to see what is already good.
My work is slow, thoughtful, and intentionally curated so that what you take home feels less like a photograph… and more like a glimpse of Heaven on Earth.
WHAT IT FEELS LIKE TO BE PHOTOGRAPHED THIS WAY
Working with me is not about performing for the camera or checking off a moment in time.
It’s about being gently invited into an experience that feels unhurried, reverent, and deeply personal.
From the very beginning, my hope is that you feel at ease; seen for who you are, not how you think you should show up.
A SENSE OF EASE
You are not expected to entertain, impress, or manage perfection. Sessions are guided with care, allowing space for genuine connection, quiet moments, and natural joy to unfold.
INTENTIONAL DIRECTION
While the experience feels calm and organic, nothing is accidental. I thoughtfully guide posing, composition, and environment so the final images feel artful, refined, and worthy of your walls.
REVERANCE FOR YOUR JOURNEY
Every family carries a history — joys, losses, growth, and becoming. I approach each session with respect for the season you’re in, honoring the life God has given you exactly as it is.
ROOM FOR DELIGHT
Laughter without restraint. Soft smiles. The way you look at your children when no one is watching. These are the moments that often surprise you — and become the ones you treasure most.
The result is more than a gallery of portraits.
It’s an experience, that renders a collection of art; reflecting the goodness of God, the beauty of your life, and the blessing of walking through it together.
MEET KELSEY
I’m Kelsey, a fine art family portrait photographer, a wife, and a mother walking deeply in a season of family, faith, and gratitude.
My work is shaped just as much by the life I’m living as the art I create. I believe our businesses are an extension of who we are, and for me, that means approaching my work with intention, humility, and reverence for the life God has given each of us.
When I’m not creating portraits along the coast, you’ll find me at home with my husband and children — tending to our little homestead, lingering over slow mornings, and delighting in the ordinary rhythms of family life.
Motherhood has deepened the way I see everything: beauty, sacrifice, patience, and joy. It has also shaped the way I photograph families, with gentleness, care, and an awareness of how fleeting and meaningful these seasons truly are.
My faith is the quiet foundation beneath all that I do. I believe God is present in the small moments, the in-between seasons, and the lives we sometimes underestimate. It’s this belief that guides the way I approach my work by not rushing, not forcing, but honoring what is already there.
I don’t take lightly the trust it requires to invite someone into your family’s sacred spaces and seasons.
I approach each session prayerfully, with gratitude and a sincere desire to serve you well.
If you’re drawn to portraits that feel thoughtful, reverent, and deeply personal, while also valuing an experience that feels calm, intentional, and grounded in faith... I would be honored to create works of art for your family.

FREQUENT QUESTIONS
How far in advance should we reserve?
Most families reach out several months in advance, especially for peak seasons. I accept a limited number of sessions to ensure each family receives a thoughtful, unrushed experience.
Do you help with wardrobe and planning?
Yes. Every session experience includes custom wardrobe styling and thoughtful preparation so the final portraits feel cohesive and refined.
What happens if the weather is bad?
Every full session has a guaranteed reschedule day reserved during your stay. Let's clarify, what is "bad weather?" heavy rain, lightning, thunder or a hurricane are all reasons for weather rescheduling or cancellation. However, clouds and scattered showers are not! We will make every effort to wait as long as possible before we attempt to reschedule a session due to the weather. Reschedule attempts will be made first before a session is canceled.
Are photographs included in the session fee?
The session fee reserves your time, planning, and the creation of your portraits. Photographs, along with any framed art or albums, are purchased separately so each family may thoughtfully choose what best suits their home and the way they wish to experience their collection.
If you feel drawn to this work and believe it may be the right fit for your family, I would love to hear from you.
