I know why you're here...
Scouting a photographer can feel like a job in itself - that no one wants to do. I get it, I am one of those quick to say "nope" and onto the next myself. If it doesn't feel right, it doesn't feel right. But I hope you stay awhile and feel enough of a connection for us to work together on your next shoot. I invite you to explore around my page a bit more. If you are hanging around a little longer I would love to tell you a little about myself, and why I love what I do for people like you.
My name is Kelly Michelsen
I am a mother and wife who wasn't cut out for a 9-5 job. My heart runs wild when I get to unleash the power of my creative side. I have worn many hats throughout my career span including owning my own private training gym which kept me on top of my personal business and marketing strategies, but photography has always called me back. The visual artistry of it, is captivating to me. I needed to get back to what was good for my soul. What you will find exploring through my galleries is a difference in feeling as I capture moments not just pictures. Each session I provide is always going to be unique because everybody, every family, and every business that I work with is unique.
When I am not capturing a session, I like to spend my free time learning new techniques and skills with my camera, connecting with people, spending time with my husband (date nights are a must), hanging out with the kids (I have a 14 and 16 year old), adventuring together, working out, or a casual wine day with friends is always fun too!
What you can expect from me: is a fun & not - so - awkward session. Getting your pictures taken can be a real "I don't know what to do with my hands" sort of thing. But I am here to help you with all the fun prompts, poses and guidance. If you're loving my style of photography, then I ask you to put your full trust into me during our sessions, your gallery outcome will come out just as high quality - I promise. Speaking of gallery outcome, I am very upfront with turn around times so please be sure to ask what the current wait time is. I do pride myself on quick turnarounds but depending on my queue, your album would take anywhere between the time frame of 3-10 working days.
