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: The Harris’ ~ Portland Family Photographer

I just returned from 10 days spent in the beautiful Pacific Northwest visiting family and friends.  And oh yeah, photographing some of the most adorable families on the planet.  Seriously, they grow them cute, sweet & spunky up there!  It must be all that rain.  I arrived into Portland International Airport two Fridays ago and headed straight to Laurelhurst Park to meet the Harris family.  Armed with a football, soccer ball and wrestling moves, I had a blast with this foursome who were celebrating 5 years of marriage as well as 1st & 3rd birthdays.  And in addition to being fun, they were all so cute.  Wouldn’t you agree?

The Harris family were the first of eight family sessions I did while in Portland so be sure to check back in the coming days for lots of family goodness!

(PS. Do some/all of the color photos have a greenish cast to them?  They looked just fine until I uploaded them to the web and now they appear green on my screen.  Please let me know if you’re experiencing the same thing so I can try to correct it.  Thanks!)
