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.

A family is a group of persons who are bonded together, sharing love, tears, and laughter, and around whom you can be at your best and your worst. It defies blood ties and even last names.  In the case of this family, they crossed continents to become complete.  Gibson had been home for just a...

Love: Natalia & Todd ~ Engaged! ~ Chicago Engagement & Wedding Photographer

They say that the over time, wedding photographers attract clients whose style matches their own, in both personality of the couple and wedding day style.  Natalia & Todd are a perfect example of that.  Our early Sunday morning engagement shoot was not the ideal time for any of us (early! Sunday! hot & humid! early!)...
