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.


Photoswap: Carol

A couple weeks ago Carol of 847 Media (one half of a husband-wife wedding photography team here in Chicago) and I met up to do a photoswap, each of us taking turns as both model & photog.  (You can see the ones Carol took of me HERE.)  As many photographers will attest, it’s rare to have photos of ourselves because we’re so often the ones wanting to take the pictures.  For some photographers, it’s a matter of feeling uncomfortable in front of the lens.  For Carol, however, whether she realizes this or not, she ROCKS IT being in front of the lens.

She was great fun, laughing and smiling at just the right time, or striking a fierce pose for the perfect shot.  And best of all, she got it when I said, “Think heroin chic!” and “Let’s see some broken down legs.” Carol, if you ever get sick of photography, might I suggest modeling?

Without further ado, here are a few of my favorites.
