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: Nguyen Family ~ Portland Family Photography

There are certain families that radiate a togetherness.  The Nguyens are one of those families.  Arms casually around each other, tickles and giggles.  I didn’t ask for that but within a few minutes it was clear that this is just how they are.  They love each other and it shows.  When they mentioned that they love to read to their children each night, a family story-time, I wanted to capture that for them. Thank you Nguyen family, for letting me in your family’s life.

They live directly across the street from the children’s school, where they are very involved.  A picture in front of the school was mandatory.

After story-time, it was milk & cookies time as a reward. :-)

January 21, 2010 - 11:08 pm Brandi Morris - You're right--they do radiate togetherness. And love. How, exactly, do you catch stuff like that on camera? Consistently? Dumbfounded...

January 20, 2010 - 12:38 pm Molly W. - What beautiful kids! Lovely family shots, Kel.
