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 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.  Now, some might say (with good reason) that I’m biased when I insist that the people in these next photos are gorgeous, but seriously, aren’t they gorgeous?!  And lucky me, I get to claim to be related to them.

As fun as it is to photograph good friends who are open to suggestions, family members are even more obligated to play along with my schemes (even when it involves dragging their beloved Eames Lounge Chair into a field of weeds).  From clothing to location & props, my sister, brother-in-law and darling niece were the perfect models for me to try out an idea I had in my head.  Thanks, BAM for indulging me.  You rocked it.

(PS. Be forewarned: there are many, many photos!)
