Beginnings By Kelly Photography

We traveled to Banff/Lake Louise for family vacation and hired Kelly for a family photo session. Kelly is so easy to work with, great with baby and the work is just phenomenal! Definitely recommend to anyone who loves quality, natural and intimate pictures to capture cherished moments of you and your family!

We love our family photos so, so much. I have three young children and it can be such a challenge to get a good family photo, and Kelly gave us so many that it's hard to choose favourites. I loved the variety of poses and that she included individual shots of the kids. Kelly is professional, friendly and patient. She had all kinds of tips and tricks and chose an amazing location. She had great communication right from when I first reached out via her website all the way through to purchasing the photos. It is evident how much Kelly loves capturing these special moments for families. Thank you Kelly! We are going to treasure these photos for many years.

My experience with Kelly is definitely unique! I booked a session with her, however unfortunately due to poor weather we had to cancel our session. We had already arranged a back up date incase. She was keeping a close eye on the weather and now our back up date wasn't looking good either. She was concerned we would have to cancel again due to weather which meant we would end up without any family pictures because we were just there for a few days visiting. Kelly was very kind and took the time to find another photographer available for us last minute on a different day so we were still able to get photos done. I would recommend Kelly even though we never got to have a session with her because I know if we did, we would have had a great experience. She really cares about her clients and will do what she can so everything works out. Her communication was great, very friendly, professional and accommodating.

From the first interaction with Kelly, she was incredibly responsive and was thoughtful in her approach to consider our requests to include the epic scenery of Canmore’s Three Sisters Mountain Range and upclose photos to celebrate our 2 year wedding anniversary and momentous birthdays for my in-laws. She made everyone feel comfortable and for a family that doesn’t like having their photos taken, we got beautiful family photos with cherished memories. It was an added bonus for my in-laws that Kelly was able to use her French language skills to bring them comfort as they had recently relocated from Quebec. She was fabulous to work with as I worked with her to create an heirloom photo album that my in-laws were surprised to receive on Christmas morning. They appreciated the personalized cover and attention to detail in each page of photos. We also got some beautiful photos of our black Pomeranian, that can be challenging to photograph. We have no hesitations about recommending Kelly and her expertise to others as she was fantastic to work with.Actually, each of my family members have said they can’t wait to book our next experience with Kelly as the experience was memorable and personalized to our family’s love of Canmore and the local community. To have the opportunity to work with Kelly was a pleasure and honour. Thank you!

We are so happy we chose Kelly to do our family pictures! She was amazing to work with and she was so great with the kids! It was freezing out and she managed to make it fun for everyone. She had memorized everyone’s name even before we met her and even had hand warmers for the kids. Our pictures turned out even better than we would’ve ever imagined! We absolutely LOVE them! Her attention to detail is unbelievable and every single picture is a work of art.Thanks again Kelly for beautifully capturing such special moments for our family!

We had such a wonderful experience with Kelly for our family photos! It was a busy session including our two young children, extended family and family dog. Kelly chose the most beautiful location at Cascade Ponds in Banff and we lucked out with a perfect sunny morning. When we arrived, she gave us a warm welcome and made us feel comfortable with her right away. She has a friendly and laid back personality that made us all feel relaxed even though she was hustling behind the scenes to get all of the different shots in that we requested. She captured everything we asked for and more! The best part was watching her enjoyment working with the kids. She was so natural with them and they had a lot of fun with her. The photos couldn't have turned out more stunning and we're so happy to have those special memories for years to come. Thank you Kelly, you're incredible at what you do!

It was such an incredible experience to work with Kelly! We were traveling to Canmore and wanted to do a photo shoot in our wedding outfits for our 2 year anniversary. Kelly kept in touch with us via email about some potential weather in the area and was super flexible to get us the best time and day for our photos. She had picked someone of the most beautiful locations for our shoot and walked us through a lot of the shots so we could understand what she was seeing. She was so easy to work, energetic and as excited as we were about our shots! She got them to us within the 3 week timeframe she had promised and to say we were blown away by the pictures is an absolutely understatement! Would 1000% reach out again if we’re in the area - trust your photo goals to Kelly! You will not be sorry!

There are no words to describe how amazing our experience with Kelly was. She had so much fun with the shoot and made us laugh the entire time. Recieving our photos took my breath away, they are PERFECTION! I recommend Kelly for any memories you need captured :)

Kelly made our family photography session a special one. She is professional and personable and her sincerity and manner put us all at ease when we met her. Her sensitivity in helping us include the memory of a family member we recently lost was appreciated beyond words. Kelly’s artistic eye captured our family in so many great moments that it was truly hard to choose once we received the images. She was responsive to questions and follow up when we were making photo purchase decisions and her thoughtful yet decisive way of seeing and suggesting solutions was so appreciated. She is clearly committed to delivering quality. I and my family highly recommend Kelly and would definitely not hesitate to book with her again.Thank you Kelly, we had a great day and a great experience and love all our photos.

Kelly was absolutely fantastic this past weekend photographing my daughter's wedding! She was so professional, energetic, cheerful and unobtrusive while capturing all the most poignant moments of the day. She already has provided the first few photos less than 24 hours later and we can't wait to receive the rest of the photos. I strongly recommend Kelly if you are seeking a reliable professional to photograph your special events!
