MEET KELLIE
I was raised on an Angus cattle and cropping farm on the Mid North Coast of NSW, and met my husband and best friend, James, at university. James is a farmer and so we split our time between Macksville on the Coast and his family cropping farm near Spring Ridge, southwest of Tamworth.
During the week I'm a part-time clinical pharmacist, specialising in patient safety for NSW Health, and when I’m not doing that, I’m a professional photographer capturing weddings, family portraits and lifestyle images. I love the combination of being a health care professional and photographer and treasure the opportunities that my work gives me to meet so many wonderful people.
WHY I LOVE WHAT I DO
Photography started as a passion that I have made into a career. I never dreamt that I would get to call it work but I’m so grateful that I have this opportunity.
I love to tell stories and create art using the right light and composition. Weddings are my favourite as there as so many different elements to a wedding day and such an array of emotions – the atmosphere is electric and the people high on love. I look to capture not just the feeling that we call ‘love’, but the moments in which love is expressed. This rings true when photographing other milestones as well as I also specialise in lifestyle photography, including maternity, newborn, and special occasion shoots. It’s a true honour being a small part of these significant times in people’s lives.
It’s important to me to build relationships with my clients to ensure that we’re comfortable with one another, and so they’re relaxed enough to be their most authentic selves in front of the lens.
You want photos that get to the heart of you and those you love, not photos that reflect a photographer’s favourite pose. I want to take photos that you’ll cherish. I want to surprise you with images that you didn’t even know you wanted, until I show them to you. Every picture I capture is from the heart.
The better I know you as a couple or as a family, the better I’m able to tell your story.
So, let’s have a chat! Shoot me an email with your enquiry.
