Hello, I'm Kelli
Hello, I'm Kelli! I’m a photographer based in Nashville and I’m so excited to introduce myself. Photography has always been something I love to do, and doing it as a career simply feels like a dream. I feel that the true power of photography is connection, and I love being able to relate to my clients and really forming a lasting bond. My passion derives from documenting those little unposed moments that can be so fleeting. My favorite moment from every session, is hearing back from my clients on how much they love the images I've captured!
I guess some would say I'm a "true southerner" as I was born & raised in Georgia & have landed myself just a few hours north here in Nashville, TN. Over the years I have become a lover of coffee and enjoy exploring local coffee shops. When I am not taking photos, you can find me playing with my boys, trying to squeeze in a workout, and in the evening kid free hour… binge watching Netflix with my husband and pup. Earlier this year I really dove into reading again and have been loving it! I tend to gravitate to beach reads/romance.
Above everything, I value loyalty, honesty, and humor.
Meet Summit!
Our rescue dog of 6 years. She's named after Pat Summitt – the previous Lady Vols Head Coach at the University of Tennessee. Summitt is our fur baby, and she definitely makes our lives better! She’ a smart cookie & knows how to sit, lay down, shake, and give a kiss. When she is not around our home doesn't feel the same, it's true what they say, a dog makes a house a home. Watching Summitt become a “big sister” to Mason has been the sweetest. From the moment we brought him home she instantly knew that he was part of our pack; their bond continues to grow & Mason is so lucky that Summitt tolerates him so well ;)
My Own Love Story
My husband and I met 10 years ago, and have been married for 7 years! He is by far my best friend and biggest supporter (I truly don't know what I did to deserve him…much less what I would do without him!). Luckily, we both share the same wanderlust heart; desiring to explore different cities, countries, and cultures (despite how little this happens now that we’re parents), but also love our relaxing time at home together too. We both attended the University of Tennessee, Knoxville and our passion for Tennessee Football is loud and proud! We welcomed our first son in April of 2018 and just welcomed our second baby boy in September of 2020. Becoming parents has been one of the most challenging but most rewarding experiences of our lives. Our oldest, Mason, is (and has been) a lover of all things trucks/trains & thoroughly enjoys reading. Most days I look at him and can’t believe he’s 4 - so smart, kind, a wonderful big brother & at this age making us laugh so hard we get tears in our eyes! Our youngest, Brody, has such a drive to keep up with everything big bro is doing. He thrives on being outside despite any extreme heat or cold temps; he’s our go-getter & likes to try all things (the big thing this summer has been water slides). He is my cuddly kid & just loves being where we all are—we are truly blessed. I feel as if becoming a mother has made documenting your families and loved ones that much more precious and meaningful to me. I cannot imagine doing any other job.
I cannot wait to meet you!
I'd love the chance to get to know you!
