Hi I'm Keely Jean, the girl behind the camera since 2012. Child of the most high, King Jesus. Lover of people and all the iced coffee. I like laughing until it hurts and firmly believe that life is too important to be taken seriously. As an artist, I believe that you can feel love and human connection through a photograph and I strive for that truth in the pictures I take. I am a storyteller who focuses on the genuine and candid moments that make your story uniquely yours. For me, it's all about just capturing the moment.

No. Really. I didn't. This is a website.

Oh hello! I didn't see you there..

Behind it all I'm a mama first. These people are my "why" and heart behind what I do. It all started with them and not wanting to miss the fleeting moments of watching them grow. So, when my eldest daughter was born, I bought my first camera and the journey started. I was born and raised in SoCal and still visit there often but after joining the military and a love story of my own, I now reside in Southern Maryland. When I'm not busy with mom life or hanging out with my 30+ Chickens (who all have names 😅), I am photographing the important moments for people in Maryland, California, and anywhere else your love stories take me.

My PEOPLE.

These are a few

Though Maryland and California based, I'm always ready to pack my bags and hit the road on a moment's notice. I love to travel and explore the world. Going places new and old always excites me. So, If your love story is taking us somewhere outside of the normal places I serve, I am SO there.

Let's Freak'n Go!

EMIly+ Carl

We felt like we knew her for years. She truly does feel like part of the family. The moments she captured truly bring back all of the emotions from our wedding. I get to relive this perfect day over again, any time I look at our photos. We absolutely LOVE Keely and can not recommend her enough.

Keely is amazing. She absolutely outdid her self with our photos. Most of the bridal party normally felt uncomfortable doing pictures, but Keely was so fun and efficient. She made everyone including Carl and me feel so comfortable. 

"Keely absolutely killed it."

Mallory + Scott

My husband and I instantly felt an ease with her despite the stressful situation, and we could not have been happier. She immediately felt like a friend. Her photos were absolutely stunning and a true treasure for us. There are not a lot of people who could have done what she did. We recommend her to anyone and everyone!

We cannot say enough good things about Keely! She went above and beyond for us on our wedding day. Our original photographer cancelled last minute and Keely stepped in the day of, without missing a beat.  

"Above and beyond our wildest expectations."

Cindy + Bryce

We are so happy to have found her. She fit in seamlessly with our family and friends during our celebration. Her work is amazing and it speaks for itself. This girl is wonderful. Please do yourselves a favor and hire. her. now. You will NOT regret it.

Keely is an absolute dream to work with. She is so much fun and incredible at capturing the moments that matter. We have been obsessing over our pictures since we laid eyes on them.

"Hire. Her. Now!"

Maryam + hussam

Keely was attentive and made sure that I was taken care of and stress free during the day as well. From fixing my hair, to carrying my dress, even getting me a drink during cocktail hour. Keely made us feel so comfortable and our photos turned out so naturally beautiful and stunning. I am so grateful that she was apart of the special day! She will forever be our "go-to" with any of our photography needs.

I could not have asked for better pictures or a better photographer. I still look at these memories from our wedding day and can't keep from smiling. She definitely has made it possible to relive that night again in these pictures.

" We couldn't have asked for a better photographer"

DanA + jarrod

If you are anything like me, I had no idea what to do in front of a camera, but Keely walks you through it all and helps you to forget its even there. She has so much talent and such an eye for capturing the important moments you will want. She got all the perfect shots and even sent sneak peeks before the final photos.

Oh my goodness, I don't know where to start! Keely is so responsive and attentive to detail. She listened to my visions for the wedding day and delivered beyond expectation. .

"This girl delivers."
