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.


Love: Mel & Joe ~ Chicago Portrait Photographer

I met Melanie last fall and instantly fell for her easy smile and enthusiastic compliments.  I’m a sucker for compliments and Melanie is the type of person who manages to make you feel as though you can accomplish anything you could ever dream to do.  And when you meet her other-half, Joe, you can see why.  Together with these two it’s like one big love-fest.  They are so completely absolutely head-over-heels for one another it’s hard to imagine anything they could not conquer together, with the way they support and encourage one another.  From the words they exchange to the simple touches, it is always a joy to see such love and respect exchanged between two people.

After months of talking about getting together for a session we were finally able to one warm Chicago evening this past week.  Whether wearing their beloved Chicago Blackhawks jerseys or rocking the city-chic on their rooftop with an amazing city view, these two couldn’t stop laughing (or kissing!).

Mel & Joe ~ thanks for setting the bar high for all us singletons.

This last one makes my breath catch and my heart skip a beat.  Is there anything better than loving and being loved in return?
