McKenna Patterson Photography
Kelly is such a gifted photographer. She has an eye for capturing beautiful moments and magic - especially when working with children and families. I use her for business purposes and her communication, professionalism, talent, and quality are surpassed by none. I can unreservedly recommend McKenna Patterson Photography!

I would absolutey recommend McKenna Patterson photography! I have worked with Kelly twice to capture images of children using the handmade scented play dough that I sell online and have been thrilled with her work. I was in need of lifestyle photos for my website and social media, and the response to her work has been so positive and has driven customers to my site!

I live in Madison, WI with my amazing partner, John and our two sweet, wild, and funny little kiddos. We spend countless hours outside, hiking and playing in the mud. I was a Montessori teacher before my littles were born and I always try to bring a bit of that lens into my work. I've always been fascinated by photography, how it captures a moment, a family legacy, and passes it on.
From the moment we start working together, you will be guided through every step, from helping you know what to wear for your session, to helping you know how to display your amazing photos in your home. The look on your face when you see your photos makes it all worth it. What are the things that you want to remember about these moments 20 years from now?
Your unique small business or non-profit deserves to have branding as that represents you. From images that speak to your playground or represent your organizational brand. Let's talk about what we can create together. Photography that speaks for your business. That showcases your ideals, your mission, vision, and the things that make your organization shine.
Working with Kelly during this session was incredible, we did not stop laughing the entire time! She takes the time to notice and capture little nuances of our family that can be missed in the day-to-day hustle. Video brings Kelly's photography to life in the most magical way. It is something we watch regularly and I cry every single time.
My goal is to provide a custom, unique experience for all of the families attending schools who have chosen me to photograph their students. As a former teacher in a Montessori school and mama, I want picture day to be as easy as possible for the schools, families and kids. Each school will receive a pdf with detailed information to share with their families prior to picture day.

Kelly is amazing. We worked with her when our first son was born and didn’t hesitate to plan sessions with our second. Her gentle manner, humor, and professionalism make the sessions fly by. It feels like we are working with family. The candid moments she captures are priceless.

My family and I recently experienced our second photo session with Kelly for my son's first birthday and my 5th anniversary with my husband. Kelly made us feel very comfortable while gently coaching us through poses which made for genuine, natural family portraits. She is fun, smart and has a sharp eye for what's needed to make the picture perfect. Also, she was wonderful and patient with our son!
The pictures are so incredibly beautiful they bring tears to my eyes every time I look at them! They so deeply capture this incredible moment on our family's path. If you're looking for a photographer
