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.

I love these guys.

Babies: Kellen ~ Portland Family Photographer

All of the munchkins I have the opportunity to photograph are sweet and adorable but those I am related to are somehow a tad sweeter and more adorable than the rest of the world’s population.  But c’mon, doesn’t this little face just melt your heart? Kellen’s big sister could not possibly love him any more.

Families: The Kellys ~ Chicago Family Photographer

I was excited months ago when Erika’s belly first began to show and she asked me to capture their little guy outside the womb and I was thrilled to hear when he finally arrived (albeit a week or so late).  It sounds as those little Dean gets lots of kisses from his mom and dad,...

Families: The Prynnes ~ Portland Family Photographer

In one of the rare two or so hour breaks in rain while I was in Portland in May, I spent some time playing with this family outside in their uh-mazing backyard that borders a stream and has all sorts of tall grass to hide in.  I could have photographed them there all day.

Families: The Myers ~ Portland Family Photographer

I adore this family. And it’s not because they’ve hired me document their family 3 times in less than a year but because they’ve asked me to document their family 3 times in less than a year.  I realize that sounds like a contradiction but it’s really not, promise.  It is an honor to have...
