I've been photographing families for more than a decade and love it even more now that I have a family of my own. I live with my husband, son, and our three chickens in Indianapolis, Indiana. We love anything food or outdoors-related and take every opportunity we can to go camping, to visit our farmer-friends at the market, and to make yummy meals together.
The cuddles with your toddler, the kisses you share with your partner, and the walks you take each day with your dog. Family sessions with KJP are active and energetic. Take a deep breath, be present, and have fun together! Let your kids be kids and roll with whatever happens. I work to photograph the normal, genuine interactions you have with each other, not the staged portraits in which we self-consciously place ourselves.

Kelley was incredible to work with for our wedding. She met with us beforehand to ask questions and plan out the whole day. She came incredibly prepared and we received complements all night on how wonderful and kind she was. She really helped to make our day special, I would recommend her to anyone looking to capture those beautiful moments!

This review comes way too late, but I think it stands to represent how fondly my wife and I have come to appreciate the work Kelly and JD did for our wedding almost four years ago. We have framed quite a few of our photos they took during our wedding, and they stand as a reminder of a very special day in our lives.
We were able to do a photo session with Kelly prior to our wedding. She came and spent time with us to learn more about lives and what was important to us. This part of our experience really highlighted how much Kelly cares about her clients. It was also really helpful to establish

My husband I recently worked with Kelley and her husband JD for our wedding. The pictures are incredible! It was a fantastic day! And Kelley and JD were there for us through it all. The engagement pictures, the all of the thoughtful planning and suggestions, and of course the day of the wedding. Kelley had great suggestions to help shape our day to reduce as much stress as possible. Of course the big day is going to be filled with a ton of pressure, anxiety, and excitement. Kelley and JD did a fantastic job "handling" us before we got to the wedding venue as we took pictures getting ready and with

I honestly cannot say enough good things about Kelley and her husband JD. I’m not normally someone who likes to see myself in photos and I’m not kidding- I love every photo they took on our wedding day. They were such a joy to work with through all of our sessions- and they made photos on our wedding day fun and not stressful at all. Kelley is just so calm and kind and makes you feel at ease with timelines and various shots etc. on a day when it’s easy to get overwhelmed!
We had also been together for a long time- so I wanted Kelley to capture the "candid shots" more than the posed shots

Kelley photographed my wedding and is just the best! She's super talented, plus kind, compassionate, authentic and fun. I've recommended her to many for family shoots too. I didn't realize how great we had it until I had to book photography in another city with someone else for a family shoot. So many other photographers out there only give you X# of images for $X of money and are inflexible. Kelley shared hundreds of her awesome photos so quickly and is generous with her time and talent. She's awesome!

Kelley is great photographer and so easy to work with. Our family photos are amazing. Kelley was able to capture moments with our son that we will cherish for a lifetime! I would definitely recommend her if you are looking for a photographer who will take the time to understand what you want and do an excellent job at making your vision a reality.

Kelley is a phenomenal photographer! She photographed our wedding earlier this year, and we have nothing but positive things to say. Communication from the beginning was smooth, timely and professional. Kelley and JD fit in perfectly the day of the wedding, capturing all the right moments. The end product was exactly what we were looking for, great photos that perfectly capture the feel of the day. Kelley pays attention to detail, not only in her photographs, but in every aspect of the service and product which she provides. Couldn't recommend her enough!

Kelley and her husband JD were such a joy to work with! They made it feel like we had friends joining us on our big day rather than photographers. Prior to the big day, Kelley was amazing about making sure all my questions were answered and that she knew exactly what we were looking for and then executed it brilliantly! The photographs were just stunning! We couldn't pick a favorite, each one we saw we just ooo'd and aww'd over it! Couldn't recommend her more enthusiastically to any other couple looking for an incredibly talented photographer who will make you feel comfortable, heard, and like

As our wedding planning began, finding a photographer was at the top of our list. My husband and I love taking photos, looking at photos, and we love how photos allow us to relive special moments of our lives. After searching and researching we found Kelley. Shortly after reaching out to Kelley I met her for a cup of coffee and within a few minutes of chatting I not only wanted Kelley to be our photographer, but also my friend! As our wedding neared Kelley arranged another time to meet over juice to chat wedding day strategy. The day of the wedding Kelley and her husband, JD, arrived early to scope

As soon as we had booked our venue Kelley was next person I connected with to make sure she was available on our date. I had the privilege of working with Kelley at a friends wedding and loved her style and the beautiful photos she took of the couple and wedding that day. We knew that Kelley had to be our photographer. She takes the time to get to know you as a couple and what you're looking for ... and she is excellent at telling those things through her photos. So thankful for her ability to capture the things we didn't see, to tell our love story and to give us photos to remember that special
