Brand New…..

May 8, 2011

I had the pleasure to photograph this perfect little guy on his 7th day of life! He was awesome and so content. I enjoyed this session so much that I didn’t even realize how much time had passed. I could photograph babies every day of the week, especially babies like him. He was so happy and loves to be swaddled tight. Many thanks to his mom for having me and congratulations for this sweet little miracle. Here’s a sneak peek of the session. There are so many more.





Turning One!

April 26, 2011

This little guy turned one the other day! Where did the time go? I have thoroughly enjoyed capturing him every few months during this year — it was so much fun to see him go from a newborn to a one year old. He is a handsome little guy and so smart! He also has the most amazing eyes — they sparkle. Notice the pictures with his new toy cell phone — I think it’s instinctive! lol Here are some highlights from the session. Thanks Matt and Christy for letting me be a part of the first year!






Wow! Where do I begin? I usually try to post a few of my favorite images from every session to my blog, however I LOVE every picture from Summer and Dan’s engagement session. They both looked incredible and so much in love! It was truly an honor for me to photograph them at this special time.













Signs of spring…..

March 30, 2011

Here’s a glimpse of a recent “pre” First Communion portrait session. I surely felt like spring is here. First Communion and flowers? Sounds like spring to me (and I’m not even going to think about snow this week!!!)

This little lady is beautiful and really did look like a princess. I can’t even imagine her wedding day. This session was so much fun and the best part is her mom doesn’t have to worry about portraits on her special day! If you have someone special making his or her First Holy Communion, book a session now. You have the option for a “pre” First Communion studio session or a “day of” First Communion session. Either way, you can be assured of beautiful images to document this special day!




Pretty in pink….

March 30, 2011

I haven’t blogged much lately but that’s not because I’ve been short on material. The winter has been hopping, and I have so much to share. I’ll start with the most recent sessions and work my way backwards. Here’s a pretty little angel from a recent newborn shoot. Isn’t she precious? There is nothing like a newborn baby — no greater gift! I really enjoyed meeting her and her mom and dad. Her mom got her to smile and her dad new just how to poser her, and he was an awesome swaddler! lol

I love my newborn sessions and if you need a gift for a new mom and dad, please consider giving an Amy Kelly Photography gift certificate. :-)

Pretty in pink…. {newborn}

January 26, 2011

I was thrilled to meet this precious newborn.  She is just one day shy of two weeks, and she is absolutely beautiful.  I had so much fun with her this morning.   The funny thing is that almost all of my newborn sessions have been boys so it was kind of fun to add some pink into the session today.  Now if only I could get inundated with newborn session for this winter — it would surely make the time pass pleasantly and rid those winter blues.  I only scanned my shots quickly, but I am thinking this just might be my favorite image from today.

On a side note, you may want to consider a Amy Kelly Photography gift certificate for an expecting mom. The gift of photography is timeless!  email amykellyphotography@gmail.com for more info

What a smile…

January 24, 2011

Who couldn’t use seeing a happy smile today? I couldn’t resist posting this quick picture from a session this weekend. Seeing this certainly warms my spirit on this freezing cold day!  More pictures to follow! :-)

Gap baby….

January 20, 2011

He definitely could be a “Gap” baby! He is just so cute! This is the second time I photographed this little guy and just when I thought he couldn’t get any cuter, he DID! He’s like a little dapper man, and he loves the camera. His eyes are like crystals, and he is full of smiles. I also love taking pictures in his house, because the natural light is awesome. The brick wall is really great too — I wish this was my studio.

I have many blog posts to catch up on from before the holidays but thought this was a great one to start with — seriously, this little guy could brighten even the darkest of winter days!



Photo Booth?

January 7, 2011

A few people have asked me “what is a “photo booth”?”  Here’s what it means to me, and how it evolved for me!  A couple of months ago, Cindy called me to see if I could provide her with a “photo booth” for her wedding.  She had already booked me as her wedding photographer last spring.   I wasn’t quite sure what a “photo booth” would entail but told her I would look into it.  Basically she wanted her wedding guests to be able get candid photos of themselves. I have done many formal “photo line” events, however never one where the guests have control of the shutter.  This time things were kicked up to an entirely new level! I never like to do anything “half way”,  so I made a list of things I would need to make this work and agreed to do it.   I must confess that my bedroom turned into a “quasi” studio for a couple of weeks, as I set everything up and practiced.  However, it went off without a hitch thanks to my assistants — my sister and husband!  We are now ready to take this show on the road again!  The “photo booth”  in no way replaces regular photography event or wedding coverage, but it is a wonderful addition to any event!

We would be happy to take our “photo booth” to your next wedding or event.  It was so much fun and the possibilities are endless.  Contact amykellyphotography@gmail.com for more details

I have posted a few images from Cindy and Jeff’s photo booth and  here is a  link to the entire gallery.  Guests can purchase any of the gallery images directly from this link.  They are silly images that capture the fun mood of the night.
