GET TO KNOW ME

At Kelley Elyse Photography, I’m drawn to the moments you can’t plan: the unprompted, fleeting ones that can’t be recreated. When you invite me into your family’s space, I treat it like being welcomed in as one of your own. I’m here for the mess, the emotion, the chaos, and the quiet in-betweens. Around here, playtime comes first; and when kids are free to play (especially with mom or dad), the joy is real and effortless.

Central Ohio family photography rooted in connection and play, capturing real life and everyday love.

Some of my favorite pics

lets do it

As a mom of two, I fully understand how fast your kids are growing  (seriously, can we slow this down?!). My goal as a photographer is to capture your family the way you experience them every day, except this time, you're in the pictures too. You're a part of the story. You're part of the play. 

My photography isn’t about stiff poses or perfect smiles. It’s about living your moments. That’s why I love sessions that feel like play time: backyard fun, dance parties in the kitchen, couch cushion forts, or exploring your favorite places together.

Whether we’re welcoming a new baby, honoring the journey of pregnancy, or freezing a season of everyday life, my goal is to give you images that feel as real, joyful, and meaningful as the life you’re living right now.

Anyone can take a photo of your family smiling. I want to photograph your family LIVING.
