meet kelsi

I’m Kelsi — photographer, storyteller, soon-to-be mama of two, and former model with a career that took me far from home and deep into the art of imagery.

For over a decade, I lived in front of the camera — traveling the world, working with incredible creatives, and learning exactly what it takes to create imagery that feels as good as it looks. Somewhere along the way, I realized I didn’t crave perfection anymore. I craved honesty — the kind you find in unposed laughter, a toddler’s mid-giggle squirm, and all of the little details that make a photo feel like home.

After becoming a mom and moving back to (wonderful! glorious!) Nebraska, I finally picked up a camera and began capturing people the way I saw them: radiant, unique, and in the middle of a story worth telling.

My work is inspired by the nostalgia of film photography, but it’s grounded in connection. Whether I’m documenting the sleepy curl of a newborn’s fingers, the fierce excitement of a high school senior, or the magnetic pull between two people in love, my goal is the same — to bottle up the beauty of this exact season so you can revisit it for years to come.

If you’re looking for stiff smiles or Pinterest-perfect poses, that’s not me. But if you want images that make you feel something — and an experience that feels effortless, joyful, and deeply personal — I've got you.
