Boso Maternity

Kelli — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 18:50:42 +0000

Our dear friends Lee and Carmen were expecting a little bundle of joy, and drove down for photos at the end of July. I am posting them now because that little bundle was born today! So, so happy for you guys, and I cannot wait to meet (and get my camera on) little Nina. Congratulations to you both, and I’m praying for rest and recovery for you all.

Walker D. Newborn & Family

Kelli — Wed, 25 Aug 2010 20:27:51 +0000

I’m slightly behind on my blogging of family sessions. In fact, this baby I’m getting ready to show you photos of just turned six months old. Whoops. Regardless, he is/was a cutie. And because his dad is from Texas, we had to include the hat. Who doesn’t love newborns, because I sure do!

Josh and Amanda

I first met Amanda about five years ago when I was her counselor at a summer camp. She was in my cabin. I remember having to tell her to hurry up a number of times (high school girls like to piddle, no?), and likely told her to go to bed, because what can I say – I like my sleep. Despite all that, we kept in touch over the years, and she asked me last summer to photograph her wedding. I was, of course, thrilled. I met Josh last summer when I did their engagement session and one thing was clear – they were crazy about each other. Amanda is goofy and animated, Josh is serious and sincere. Together, they’re a great couple. Thanks for asking me to be part of your day, guys, and part of your lives.

Anthony & Meagan

I was honored to photograph Anthony & Meagan’s wedding, not only because they’re totally cute and fun, but also because the father of the bride is a hobbyist photographer and I knew he at least had confidence that I would do a decent job. That may or may not have made me a tad nervous. I’ll never tell.

Either way, they were married on July 3 in a beautiful ceremony followed by an equally lovely reception that just so happened to occur near sunset, and just so happened to be followed with plenty of sparklers and… FIREWORKS! In fact, I stayed late just so I wouldn’t miss the fireworks. It’s all in a day’s work, folks. I think it was worth the extra effort.

Congratulations, guys – hope you enjoy your sneak peek.

Baby Hope Turns 1

For two years, I had a fabulous babysitter, Heidi. She came once a week to play with my kids while I worked on this computer, locked in my office. During that time, Heidi acquired a niece, Hope, who my kids LOVED. So of course I was honored when Hope’s mom brought here to me for some 1-year photos. Doesn’t she look like a doll?

Elizabeth & Jason

Kelli — Tue, 29 Jun 2010 13:09:09 +0000

Elizabeth & Jason met by chance, if you believe in such a thing. Either way, it’s clear they’re completely crazy about each other. And in spite of Elizabeth’s habit of frequent blinking and Jason’s habit of making funny faces anytime a camera is near, I was able to capture the moments of their wedding in ways that even I am thrilled with.

First of all – the light. Was this sanctuary built for photography or what? Thank you, architect of St. Matthew’s Episcopal in Charleston, whoever you are.

And these are an amazing “something blue,” don’t you think?

And apparently Elizabeth has the world’s tiniest fingers, because her ring fits completely inside Jason’s.

Off to the reception where there was… more amazing light!

Congratulations to both of you. And thanks so, so much for choosing me to be part of your fabulous day. Also: Thanks for choosing such great wedding and reception locations.

Callie & Charlie – Knotty Pine Lodge Wedding

kellidailey — Thu, 27 May 2010 17:35:26 +0000

This past weekend, I had the fantastic privilege of photographing Callie & Charlie’s wedding. While they’ve known each other nearly their entire lives, they just began dating about a year ago. The were completely smitten with each other, and were engaged and began planning a fun, low-key wedding that fortunately involved me. There were so many great details from this wedding, and perhaps when I get further along in the editing process I can share some more, but I wanted to show off some of my very favorite images from the day. Thanks so much for letting me be a part of your day, guys!

The Hill Boys

Kelli — Mon, 17 May 2010 19:05:21 +0000

My good friend Jenna has a boss she really likes (a rare treat, no?). So like any good employee, when she found out her boss was having a baby, she bought a gift certificate for a photos session with me. I got to photograph her two terribly cute boys a few weeks back. Look at those eyes! Beautiful. Thanks, Jenna, for thinking of me as a baby gift idea. And I hope the Hill family enjoys these photos for many years to come.

The Hartman Family

Kelli — Thu, 06 May 2010 20:24:50 +0000

I had the wonderful opportunity to meet the Hartmans last month. Natalie, a friend-of-a-friend, contacted me to do her family’s photos and asked if we could do them at her mom’s house. Turns out mom’s house has about 450 windows which means great natural light. I asked if I could rent it out for future sessions. Look at this family how gorgeous! I had a great time getting to know them.

Jessica & Scott – Huntington, WV Wedding

Kelli — Mon, 26 Apr 2010 19:15:02 +0000

I got a call a few months back from a bride who was having a very small, simple wedding, and she only needed about an hour of photos – the ceremony and a handful of portraits afterward. I’m so glad I had the opportunity to photograph this “small” wedding which was obviously still plenty big on love.

I always cry at weddings (even when I’m working, yes) and this one was no exception. Scott’s daughter was in the wedding party, and any time there’s a special portion of a ceremony where the bride or groom’s children are involved gets me all choked up. Maybe it’s because I have two incredible step parents myself, but there’s something about joining a blended family together that gets me.
