Real moments, beautifully kept.

I’m here for the imperfect in between moments, the real you
— because that’s where the story lives.

As a creative, I don’t just take photos — I tell stories that unfold naturally.
My sessions are a collaboration between us focusing on capturing genuine, heartfelt moments built on trust, not posed perfection. I want to capture your story and create images that hold space for what is now, just as it is.

If you’re ready to trust in my vision, keep reading to discover the perfect package for you.

The Process

  • Followed by your initial enquiry via DM, Email or my Contact Form - we have likely discussed options, pricing and dates. I offer sessions on both weekdays and weekends, with options for sunrise, in-home, or golden hour sunset. Let’s find a time that suits you or your family best.

    Reach out via email, contact form or book a phone call to lock in your session.

  • Before our session, I’d love to get to know you better! A quick questionnaire helps me understand your family and prepare to capture your story in the most meaningful way. Followed up by a planning consultation call to plan all the details. A contract will also be sent.

  • A creative session deposit of $200 is required to secure your session date and covers all pre-session planning and shooting time ranging from 45-90 minutes and up to two hours for newborn shoots. This deposit is non-refundable. The remaining balance will be due in the week leading up to your session.

  • I’ll check in with you to confirm the time, location, and any final details. This is also when the remaining balance is due. It’s the perfect time to ask any last-minute questions or share anything new you’d like me to know before we shoot!

  • You’ll receive a text or email 24 hours before your session with a quick rundown of the final details — meeting location, weather confirmation, and a gentle reminder to bring along anything you’ll need. It’s all about keeping things easy and stress-free so you can just show up, be present with your family and enjoy - I will take care of the rest.

  • You’ll be excited to see some sneak peeks — and I don’t blame you! I’ll do my best to deliver a handful of favourites within the first week after your session. I deliver all of my galleries within 2-3 weeks of a session. You will receive an email from me giving you access to your online gallery of high-res and web-size images.

  • I shoot outdoors in all kinds of weather — except for rain. If it’s too wet, I’ll make the call on the day and we can reschedule, switch to sunrise, or move indoors if needed.

    If you or your little ones are unwell, I’m happy to reschedule — same goes for me. I’ll never turn up sick, especially around newborns.

    Life happens, and I get it. If you need to change your date, just let me know ASAP. Your deposit is non-refundable but can be transferred to a new session within one year.

“We recently had our family photos taken by Kelly, and I couldn’t be happier with how it all went. She was so easy to be around, which made the whole experience feel relaxed and natural. Nothing felt awkward or forced, and she was great with the kids. The sessions was also nice and quick - perfect for little ones with short attention spans. We ended up with beautiful photos and a really positive experience. Highly recommend Kelly if you’re looking for someone who knows how to make it all feel easy”
— Hancock Family
“I recently had a professional photo shoot with Kel from KLS Design, and I couldn’t be happier with the entire experience. From the moment we started, Kel made me feel completely at ease. Her warm and down-to-earth approach helped me relax in front of the camera—something that doesn’t come naturally to me!

Kel’s eye for detail, creative direction, and ability to capture the real essence of her subjects is truly exceptional. She was professional, efficient, and incredibly generous with her time and talent. The final images were not only beautifully edited but truly represented me—authentic, confident, and full of life.

Whether you need branding shots, lifestyle portraits, or professional content, I wholeheartedly recommend Kel. She delivers nothing short of magic!”

Indoor - In Home

There’s something beautifully honest about capturing your family in the space you live and love in every day. These sessions are slow, relaxed, and full of warmth — think cozy knits in winter, cuddles on the couch, baking in the kitchen, and quiet moments in the nursery. Perfect for newborns, young kids, or simply documenting your family just as you are, in the place you feel most at home. I love these especially in the cold seasons when the weather is hit and miss.

Outdoor - Golden Hour

Golden hour is pure magic — that dreamy light just before sunset (or just after sunrise) that wraps everything in a warm, golden glow. These sessions are relaxed, playful, and full of movement. We’ll explore, chase the light, and capture the real, in-between moments that feel like you. Perfect for families who love being outdoors, don’t mind a little wind in their hair, and want their story told in the softest, most beautiful light. Perfect timing in day-light savings. My favourite type of shoot adding that golden flare to your gallery.

Outdoor - Harsh Light

Not every story is told at golden hour — and that’s okay.
For families who prefer to explore during the day, I offer occasional harsh light sessions. These shoots embrace the bold beauty of full sun — deep shadows, sun flares, vibrant skies, and moments captured as they unfold. It’s a more raw, contrasty style, perfect for certain settings like beachy holidays or travel moments. While golden hour offers the softest light, I’m always happy to tailor the experience to what suits your schedule and story best.
