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.

The Rogers | California Family Photographer

A long weekend in Northern California allowed me the opportunity to visit dear friends.  It is clear when watching these three that they have such fun together, singing silly songs, telling jokes and doing funny dances.  Although we took some time to wander around their town in search of cool, funky backgrounds, with their love...

Jack & Sawyer | California Family Photographer

“And NO, they were not named after the characters on LOST!”  Apparently this is something that Jack & Sawyer’s mom has to repeat.  Often. Jack & Sawyer brought their mom to the park so we could have fun and play with their big red ball.  There is no doubt that these two are brothers, despite...
