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.

Families: The Myers ~ Sneak Peak! ~ Portland Family Photographer

Although most of my time in Portland was spent with my sister and her family, changing diapers and snuggling a newborn baby, I was able to squeeze in a few family portrait shoots.  These two (as seen previously here and here) just keep getting cuter and cuter!

My justified absence

I realize the blog has been a little slow this month, and in particular, the past couple of weeks, but I have an excuse, a really good one, that fully justifies my absence.  You see, this little guy entered the world a few weeks ago and I had to visit him and his big sister...

Engaged: Marni & Matt ~ Chicago Engagement Photographer

This post probably should start out with a warning similar to the one I emailed this couple when I sent them the link to their online gallery: There are a TON of photos.  But this was an engagement shoot extravaganza (!) so it deserves nothing less than total visual gluttony. Moving on. Marni & Matt...

Love: Marni & Matt ~ Sneak Peek! ~ Chicago Engagement Photographer

I’m a sucker for a simple yet passionate image. This was the last frame of the day from our engagement shoot extravaganza. So very much more to come.
