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.


Families: Matt & Claire (& baby) ~ Chicago Maternity Photographer

Saturday, April 17, 2010

On a recent Friday afternoon, Matt, Claire and I traipsed through a field with fox holes, ant hills and uneven ground.  (Yes, I realize possibly not the most suitable environment for a pregnant woman, but we had a vision and I’ve learned to not mess with a vision.)  Claire wanted to capture this moment in time as they eagerly await their little boy’s arrival this July and I was thrilled to do it for them.  When people talk about pregnant women having a serene glow, it is clear what they mean when one looks at Claire.  And though father’s are not often told the same, I’ve found that they have a special look all their own, and Matt is no different in his excitement.
