• When a granddaughter is in the house, I do cake smash photos. Actually, I love cake smash photos, I just do them my way and like to look for the moments in between. In the end, this was one of my favorites of the entire shoot. She went all-in on the cake, and when she was done, she was done. It was so much fun to watch her crawl away like a flash before we could grab her and see the frosting trail she left behind.

  • My favorite thing to hear about a photo session is something along the lines of "That wasn't so bad, in fact, it was actually fun!” This is one of those times when that happened, and that means more to me than whether or not this image will ever win a prize or be on the cover of a magazine. For this family, this photo brought joy. It's them...in the middle of a beautiful, fun memory...and that's what matters to me.

  • Hi there! I'm Kellie and there is only one other photo of myself on this entire feed. So here I am! Nice to meet you! 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I'm a photographer based in Maryland, USA. I love all kinds of photography, so this account is a mix of professional and personal work. This is my only Instagram presence, so you'll also find glimpses into my personal life in my stories. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I have been taking photos for as long as I can remember. I've always been a keen observer of the world. When I was 13, my dad bought a decent-quality SLR and I basically stole it and taught myself how to use it via trial and error and books from the library. I still remember the million pics I took of my mother's rose garden. Well, it wasn't a million, because it was film, but I'm sure it was a pretty large multiple of 12. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If I was living my ultimate fantasy, I'd be a National Geographic Photographer and be traveling around the world. Fortunately, my reality is way better than that. I'm a mom of 5 grown kids and their amazing spouses. I'm Grammy to 6 lovely littles, and in between I take photos of people, sweaters, yarn, sunsets, and anything else I can. I also help small businesses with social media through management and coaching. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Thanks for following me and for being part of my constant inspiration here on Instagram.

  • It was always a good fashion show at #STITCHESMidwest when Celestial Mountain Dreams was on the runway. This glorious circular shawl was designed by Linette Meek of @letissierdesigns and is shown here in Sexy by @buffalowoolco. You can now find this fabulous yarn at @stunningstring as part of their Stunning Buffalo line. The drape and movement of this piece always made me want to take so many photos to capture every drippy, slinky variation. Bison down, silk, beads, and lace—sooo beautiful! Will this be your next big project? You can find the pattern on @hi.ravelry!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
If you’re an independent designer of textiles, art pieces, or anything else, and need your pieces photographed, dm me! I have rates and scheduling that make it possible for you to get your work published. Or, we can arrange coaching on how you can optimize your own photography. Let me know how I can help!

  • Seniors like this amazing young man may be getting a few weeks of in-person school to finish up their unconventional last year. It's been tough for these kids, and tough on their parents to watch the hoped-for memories not get made. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here's to some hybrid times though, hopefully with enough chances to fill the bucket, at least a little bit. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Here's to the class of 2021.

  • Tomorrow is another knitwear shoot for @knotionsmag. I'm so glad we've been able to work out safe, comfortable sessions. This is a throwback to a STITCHES show for @stitchesevents and is a class sample by the glorious @xandypeters. If you want to explore the intersection between handwork and art, definitely check out their work. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
One of my favorite elements to play with is the depth of field, especially with the unique personality of the @sigmaphoto Art 35 lens. I love how it looks at a piece of knitwear and highlights the texture, color, and drape. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
What's your favorite principle of photography to use and massage for creative purposes?

  • Yes, I'm dipping liberally into my archives to color-coordinate my grid and it's been so much fun. I didn't have a photography Insta till a couple of years ago, so you get to join me in the way-back machine. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This lovely woman is a talented photographer herself, so I remember this shoot as being free and fun and full of collaboration. I hope she remembers it the same way.

  • This is a full moon captured through a fogged-up hotel window at one of the fiber arts shows where I work. I love the texture and glow. 
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
I miss easy, frequent traveling. So. Much. But I’m full of hope. I’ll get back to my brilliant career of hotel window photography someday and it will be awesome.
