Keven ~ December 2010 Portraits

I photographed Keven's senior portraits last year... I was so happy when he called and said he wanted to come in to have new portraits taken to give to family for Christmas. Keven took advantage of our December portrait special and we were able to get some great shots. Thanks Keven!

December Family Portraits at Photographs by Kellie

December is blowing in with a bit of a chill... lights are appearing on houses and trees! A time for families to get together and celebrate the love that they share. And while the family is all together, what a great time to come into the studio for an updated family portrait. To make that easy for you all I am having a December Family Special... a 30 minute session for $30! With print collections beginning at only $75... You can't beat that.

To book your session go to http://www.photosbykellie.com/ enter the website and choose the "Book appt's online" tab, then choose December Family Special from the drop down arrow.

Look forward to seeing you soon!!

Say hello to Deanna

One Year Old Session with Photographs by Kellie

A big thank you to one of our long time clients, Kelly, for referring this family to the Photographs by Kellie portrait studio. There is no better compliment then when you feel confident enough to send your friends and family our way for a session. I was thrilled when mom called and said she wanted to go out on location to capture one year old images of her daughter. We met at one of my favorite places... this red bridge is such a great back drop.

Just out for an afternoon stroll!

I love smiles, but I also love a beautiful serious expression...

Hello world!





Isn't this the cutest thing you have ever seen...

Such a little angel, so sweet and innocent.

Thank you for the opportunity to save this moment in time for your family.

She came to visit me from Clackamas High School. Thanks Leah for choosing Photographs by Kellie for your senior pictures!

Portland Maternity Photography

It seems like I have been photographing quite a few maternity sessions lately and I am loving everyone of them. Such a beautiful, special time in a women's life to capture. It only happens a couple of time usually, well for some it happens more, but you know what I mean.

This little angle brought mommy into Photographs by Kellie for some maternity photos with her soon to be born sister. We had a wonderful time together! Hope you enjoy this glimpse of their session...


look at those eyes...



Love the window light

Photographs by Kellie Children's Photography

This new family to the studio came as a referral from one of our long time clients. I am so thankful and feel so honored when you feel you can send your friends and family to us with confidence!

I love my new funky blue couch,  so great in the natural light area of the studio.

This image has a little vintage affect added.

This little sweetie was so fun to work with!

Need a little help from mom and dad to stand.

No session  is complete without a bear skin rug shot at this age!

Ivy and her Family

We had such a great maternity session I couldn't wait for this little angel to arrive. Little Ivy wasn't too excited about her first big portrait session, but we rocked it out! Sometimes I wish I could have photos of all of us adults trying to coax a baby to do what we want them too, it is usually too funny!!! Once we got her to sleep we were able to get that wonderful shot of her in the tutu. Hope you love these as much as I do...

Sweet little "M"

Loved it when little Miss M came back to visit me in the studio. She has the cutest little smile, even though mom and I had to work to pull them out of her. Some of the funniest things that go on in the studio are the adults trying to get babies to laugh or turn their head. We had such a fun time trying out all of my new headbands, flowers and tutus! Hope you enjoy this little glimpse of this fun little session...

Look Who's One

I had so much fun when little miss A came in for her first birthday!
She wasn't quite sure if she should put her hands in the cake, so this was the next best way to get it in her mouth!

As you can tell, she soon decided that getting her hands and her feet in the cake was quite alright.
