Kelly V. Photography

I have been taking annual dance portraits of Madison since she was little. This is her final year dancing as she ventures out to try field hockey and ice skating. I'm truly going to miss seeing her on stage, but I'm so excited to cheer her on for her next chapter.

Bucket list check!! Maddie helped bring my vision to life because I’ve always wanted to do a series of sessions under a pier at an ocean. It was everything.

An absolute dream-come-true session! Tiny dancer Raegan doing what she loves most at the beach.

Love seeing my photo of sweet Kara on the Times Square Jumbotron display today for the New York Buddy Walk! If you would like to donate to help Kara reach her fundraising goal, reach out to me and I'll connect you with her mom.

When your lifetime best friend is in town during your senior session from Alaska, you make time to get a few shots together before she flies home. Fortunately Skylar and Taicia have the kind of friendship that allows them to grow separately without growing apart.

Industrial silo with a textured sweater and ripped jeans? Yes, please! .dudak is giving me all the feels for her second fall session!

Because we can all use a little sunshine in our lives right now.

Happy summer!

Actively booking senior sessions, so snag your spot before they're gone! ☀️❤️

Many of us might be feeling lost, alone and in the dark right now, but there is light.

Seek it out. Follow it. Be it for others.

Sometimes it takes a disaster to bring people together.

But not this group.

Did you know that the photographers in Happy Valley support each other, have get-togethers and pass along referrals?

So in the middle of this unprecedented global health crisis, we did what we do best - put community over competition.

Because we have an important message.

As you read, please remember that each one of these beautiful faces is a creative, passionate professional running a small local business.

And we miss you. ❤️

A little something from me to you ...

Since we're all about to spend a lot more time at home during this period of social distancing, I want to do my part in making it as enjoyable as possible.

I know there's nothing quite like hanging a beautiful portrait on your walls to make life a little more joyful every time you enter a room.

So if you'd like to experience that mood-boosting feeling over and over throughout the coming weeks, I'm here to make it happen.

Today through Friday, March 20, all portrait and wedding clients are welcome to an unprecedented 30% off any single item for your home 16x24 or larger. And to make it even easier, all shipping fees are on me. Your beautiful custom artwork will arrive directly to your home, ready for hanging.

If you'd like to take advantage of this offer, simply get in touch with me and I'll happily open a gallery from a prior session or event so you can select your favorite image and product.

We're in this together.

And sometimes little things can make a big difference. ❤️

The requests are already rolling in, so I'm announcing holiday minis early!

To accommodate your busy beautiful family, I've decided to switch things up this year and offer sessions throughout the season - rather than one marathon (sorry if you have plans!) weekend.

With more flexibility, we can find the perfect day and time for you. This also allows me to offer two types of sessions. Choose what sounds best to you!

HOWEVER, I am still only booking 10 mini sessions total. So don't wait to book hoping you can squeeze in last-minute. I may open up more spots if time is available, but that's not guaranteed.

Also ... Ladies, if you're struggling with what to get your guy this year, head over to Black Lace Images for an unforgettable option. You'll be glad you did.
