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.

Engaged: Jodi & Nathan ~ Milwaukee Engagement Photographer

It was an engagement shoot extravaganza, roaming the streets of Milwaukee.  Although cold and blustery, Jodi & Nathan’s love kept them warm. (Awwhh! Ok. That was bad.)  After several years as friends, these two finally figured out (at the same time, while living many states apart) that there was more, much more to their friendship. ...

Engaged: Jodi & Nathan ~ More to come! ~ Milwaukee Engagement Photographer

There is much more to come from this engagement shoot, but it is moments like these, unscripted, that I absolutely love.
