Professional, Classy and Very Impressed!
What an awesome experience!! I have never done anything like this in my life - I am very reserved, shy and moderately conservative, never stepping outside of "the box". I was extremely nervous, even when I was typing out the first email to Kelley to discuss what she does and if this was something that I could actually go through with....and yes, I have to admit that I almost cancelled my appointment. I am so very happy to say that once I got to her gorgeous loft studio, that my nerves were immediately calmed. She greeted me with a smile and warm hug, just like we were old friends having a girl's day out. She showed me around her studio, had me show her my outfit choices and she quickly pulled aside the pieces that she thought would work best for me and my body. Then she introduced me to Lauren, the hair & makeup artist. Lauren started working on my makeup as she consulted with me on what kind of look I was going for in my session and what I wanted her to do for my hairstyle as well. Let me just say that she does amazing work too! Her makeup choices for me that day, took off a definite 10 years and maybe more. Kelley is a true professional in every manner. She took her time with me - I know she could see how nervous I was initially, but she gave me a few pointers to loosen up my smile/lips. She knows exactly how to position you to focus on your best features, where to pose you with the best lighting (she only uses natural lighting) and really knows how to select the best outfits that compliment your body shape. She made me feel like a real super-model that day! And her work is not over when the shoot ends. She then starts working on the editing of the photos and prepares them for the big image reveal, where you meet with her and review your images. I could not believe my eyes and that the photos I reviewed were actually me! And what I mean here is that she does not Photoshop the images so much that it changes who the person is, she only enhances the real you - smoothing out some fine lines or wrinkles, and of course some cellulite. (LOL) The wide variety of products that Kelley offers for your images is nothing short of high quality and definitely will be treasured for years to come. You will not find a better photographer than Kelley. She empowers her clients to be the best they can be and it shows in all of her work. She has given me inspiration to do things that make me happy regardless of what other people may think. She truly loves her profession and produces excellent, high quality images with all of her clients. This is an experience that I want to share with all women and I definitely want to do another shoot with Kelley very very soon! My husband was both surprised and in awe when I gave him the album. He loved all of the photos and said that he wants me to do it again as well. This experience has opened my eyes to a whole new world that I never imagined could happen to me. You will not be disappointed. read more
