about Kelsey…

I am a natural light photographer dwelling in the mountain town of beautiful Big Sky, Montana. Living here is but a dream and I am thankful for it every day.

I have been photographing people for over a decade and photography is truly a love language for me. I want to get you in front of my lens while you are here in town. Let’s laugh and play and run free in these beautiful, rugged Montana mountains...
