Chicago Photographer + Kelly Ry Photography bio picture

Welcome, welcome!

Whether it's my home or my blog, I love visitors.  The ones that come to my home to visit add something new and interesting to the mix of daily life. But then they leave again, forcing me to return to daily life without their smiles and laughter.  The great thing about blog visitors is that they can come again and again, and need never leave. 

Photographer Vincent Versace said, "We came to photography because the world moves us in such a way that we want to photograph what we see so others can be moved the way we were."  And so it was for me.  Despite my deplorable skills with a canvas and paints, I found the joy of creativity with a camera.  

So welcome.  Make yourself at home.  Enjoy the people in love, the gorgeous details, and adorable families.  I'd love to hear from you.

PS. And as much as I love having visitors, I love being a visitor!  Although based in Chicago, IL I have had the pleasure traveling around the world to capture weddings and families, and I would love to come visit you.  Live across the country (or continent) or planning a destination wedding?  I'm a wonderful guest.  And I bring my camera.

The Osborns | Oregon Family Photographer

When I think of a mother of three active, enthusiastic, inquisitive boys, I think haggard and exhausted.  My dear friend Abby may insist that she is indeed exhausted but I insist  she is most certainly not haggard!  In fact, she is one of the most adorable and stylish people I know, mother or not.  Somehow...

Wedding Details: C & C | Chicago Wedding Photographer

I recently assisted Chicago wedding photographer Laurie Peacock at a wedding at Green Dolphin Street, a very cool jazz club in an industrial part of the city.  Although it threatened to storm all morning, the rain and thunder held off allowing the lovely couple to enjoy their ceremony outside on the lawn, followed by an...

Siblings: Liz & Mike | Chicago Family Photographer

I don’t know about you, but it’s almost always impossible to figure out what to give my parents for their birthdays or other gift-giving occasions (read: Father’s Day is coming up – get thinking!).   I’m learning that I am not alone in this plight; it seems to be a universal problem.  Last fall my friend...
