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!  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.

Families: The Morris’ ~ Portland Family Photographer

It’s been ages – I know!  Between travel & work, I’ve barely had time to breathe let alone edit images and get around to blogging them.  This afternoon I had a few hours and so was finally able to look at the images taken from one of my favorite family sessions in Portland last month. ...

Love: Angela & Edgar ~ Chicago Wedding Photographer

I have one more family shoot left to reveal – one very special family indeed – but until those are ready, I thought I’d share a few of my favorites from a wedding I recently assisted the fabulous Laurie Peacock with a few weeks ago.
I would guess that 90+% of the couples who pledge “Through...

Families: The Fillmores ~ Portland Family Photographer

Oh, the Fillmores!  Funny, silly, sweet, cute, stylish, adorable, funny, adorable & more cute – this family had it all.  I was present at the time these photos were taken and yet even I was overwhelmed by the cuteness when I began looking through their images after their session.  CUTE! ADORABLE!  Did I mention adorable...
