Make visible what, without you, might perhaps never have been seen.

"Kelsey sees you. Your potential. Your beauty. What you care about. Being photographed by Kelsey feels more like being painted because you know that she's not just taking your picture, she's translating your vision and turning it into art.

Kelsey thinks about EVERYTHING. The light, the angle, the color, the mood, the emotion, and most importantly, what the pictures will be used for. What their job is. What they need to communicate. What they need to make people feel. She's incredible at using what most photographers see as imperfections, like wrinkled skin or a rubenesque body, to create portraits that are far more beautiful than any of us look photoshopped. Portraits that show us as we really are. Her demeanor is gentle but fierce. Soulful and warm. Nerdy and seriously enthusiastic. You'll feel immediately comfortable in her presence without her having to say much. She's just easy to be around.

Kelsey is the photographer I hire when I have a statement to make. When I want imagery that will stop the scroll, make you uncomfortable with its raw power, and push you to question what you believe about yourself and society. Imagery that grabs hold of you, draws you in, and tells you a story you've never heard. Kelsey is the photographer who is helping me tell my soul story to the world.”

Caterina Snyder

“I love shooting with Kelsey and plan to work with her continually! We asked her to be one of our two resident photographers with DollHaus because she produces high quality work. From just two photo shoots together it has built us a solid inventory of content for our brand/business that represents us in a professional manner because the photos are so crisp. The event photos we get from Kelsey are the same, crystal clear and high quality. Kelsey is easy to work with and most importantly continually gives us excellent results. We love her and would definitely recommend her to anybody needing or wanting photos done.”

Roanne Lillico

“Kelsey is so very intuitively creative. She is prompt with her timing and takes time when necessary. I never felt rushed as she is also very patient. The shoot we did was with 2 people together and she captured our energies accurately. Kelsey has a wonderful sense of humour while maintaining professionalism and I highly recommend collaborating with her to create your long lasting memories!! Big thanks Kelsey for great pictures and a fun time!!”

The atmosphere was fun and lively.I highly recommend Kelsey Kimmel for your story building needs!”

"I've had the pleasure of working with Kelsey on my last two photoshoots and I've loved both sessions! Her artistic approach to the photoshoot and creating my images is what really stands out for me. I really enjoy seeing the magic she creates.

She also helped me plan for my photoshoot and arrived the day of with an outline of ideas for the day. It was such a big help and let me focus on just showing up & being me. Thank you Kelsey!"

Jennifer Clark Styling

“I was just starting my business when I came to Kelsey for help with my branding photos and website. Kelsey guided me through the whole process and made the experience so much fun! I loved the fact that she would be able to take care of both my website and my photos so that she could be mindful of the overall vision to bring everything together in a beautiful, cohesive way. I was truly blown away by Kelsey's attention to detail! She is so talented and caring that it made the whole process wonderfully easy and fun! She is my GO-TO girl now for all things photos and website related.”
