A Chattanooga Photographer For the Elegant Southern Woman Who Longs To Timelessly and thoughtfully Document Her Family's Milestones
I'm a Chattanooga photographer, based on Lookout Mountain, GA and serving the surrounding area and beyond! I'm here to guide you through the process of designing bright, joyful portraits that showcase the genuine beauty of your loved ones.
I specialize in helping busy moms document the current season of life in my beautiful hometown and the surrounding areas. As a former pediatric occupational therapist, I still put my skillset to work by playfully getting the best smiles out of your energetic little ones. Along with helping you design your session, I assist with choosing wall art and albums. My sessions result in photos of you (yes you, mom) and your loved ones, which are ready to be hung on the walls of your home or displayed on your coffee table for years to come.

A friend recently teased that documenting is my "super-power". You should see my three daughters' baby books. I literally filled up the blank pages in the back with little memories. I'd love to put my "super-power" to work for you as your preferred Chattanooga photographer. I want to guide you through the process of creating genuine portraits with your family step by step. As a mom, I've witnessed first hand how quickly the time flies. Let's work together and document the moments and details you will treasure for decades to come!

My Work
bright, joyful, and genuine
I realize that most people would not describe family photography as a "low stress" venture. There's a lot of prep involved for parents. Then who knows how your kids will act once you actually get to the session! (Trust me, I can handle whatever they throw my way.) My goal is to make the process as relaxed as possible for everyone involved. My process is organized and full of support for you! Working with me as your Chattanooga photographer includes a session planning consult with location suggestions, access to my client closet full of dresses for mom, expert tips for preparing the whole family (many of which come from my decade of experience as a pediatric occupational therapist), and full service for designing and ordering print products. I want you to arrive to your session undistracted and ready to focus on the most important part of this process: connecting with your family.

"Kelley is amazing! She is so easy to work with and made newborn photos with 5 & 2 yr old siblings a breeze. I cannot recommend her enough. If you need a Chattanooga photographer … Kelley is your girl!"

One of my favorite parts of traveling has always been taking photos. This started even before I was officially a “professional photographer”. So of course I snapped away during our recent getaway “Down East.” I actually brought along my medium format film camera and used it the most during this trip. This trip served as […]

A relaxed photoshoot is usually what you are envisioning as you scroll through Pinterest or Instagram and dream about scheduling a photoshoot with your family, isn’t it?

Why Printed Artwork?
tangible memories you can hold in your hand
As a full service Chattanooga Photographer, every image you walk away from our session with will come with both a digital file and at minimum a fine art print. I've seen it happen time and time again. Even though you may absolutely love your portraits, the process of printing and framing your photos or designing an album may easily get lost on the bottom of your ever growing to-do list. As your Chattanooga photographer let me take care of the process for you! I offer archival quality framed prints and albums that will stand the test of time (and little hands). Let's work together to fill your home with the faces of the ones you love most. Instead of letting your images get lost in your overcrowded phone camera roll, let's create something tangible that slows you down instead of encouraging you to swipe past.
