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!  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 Temkins ~ Chicago Family Photography

This family of three lives in the urban West Loop area, a neighborhood that is chock full of texture and color with a great view of the Chicago skyline.  (The best part is I stumble upon awesome new locations every time I’m there and could shoot there almost every day.)  They were troopers, willing to...

Love: Meredith & Adam ~ Chicago Wedding Photography

Some weddings speak in vibrant colors, others in classic black & white, and still others in timeless warm brown tones.  Meredith & Adam’s wedding was the latter and I just love the beautiful tenderness that comes out when you strip away everything else.
(And a Thank You to the very creative Dawn Roscoe for inviting me...
