To put it simply, my art is all about you. I photograph your story with authenticity, energy, and beauty.
At 16y old I photographed my first wedding, developing all my work in my darkroom. Since then, my passion for this craft has only grown.

We had the absolute pleasure of working with Beginnings by Kelly Photography for our wedding, and we can’t say enough good things about her!
From start to finish, Kelly was incredible—she made us feel so comfortable, and the entire experience felt effortless. Time flew by because we were genuinely enjoying every moment.
The sneak peek photos we received were stunning, and we’re beyond excited to see the rest. Kelly even whisked us away to some of her secret spots in Canmore, and the backdrops were absolutely breathtaking.
If you’re looking for a photographer who brings warmth, professionalism, and creativity to your big day—Kelly is it. Highly recommend!

Where do I begin I’m over the moon in love with these family photos ! Kelly did such an incredible job with providing us the most beautiful family heirlooms for years to come !
I am forever grateful for her amazing talent and attention to detail ! From the moment she entered our home I felt at ease, with her professional yet kind demeanour . She took the time to capture the essence of our family by letting us be relaxed in our natural environment. I am not always eager to have my photo taken, but Kelly made me feel at ease and there was no rushing anything. She understood that my newborns needs came first and She even helped feed my baby when I needed to care for my toddler ,that’s just genuine kindness and above and beyond what I would expect.
She also captured our doggie in the most beautiful photo, which we will cherish forever . She provided timely service with the product and wow did she deliver ! The quality of the photos are outstanding .I can not say enough good things and I could go on, but I just want to say I highly recommend her to anyone looking to capture these precious times in your life . You will not regret it!

We absolutely loved working with Kelly! She was so much fun and easy going she made us feel so comfortable the whole time and for my husband photoshoots can be a little hard but he said afterwards how easy and fun she made the whole shoot. She had my photos back to for me to review so quickly and had a huge selection of photos for me to choose from. Thank you so so much for all your hard work and dedication to helping us create some special 10th anniversary memories. We will definitely be looking forward to working with you in the future.

Kelly was everything you want a photographer to be - on time, organized, full of good shot ideas, friendly, energetic, and great with kids. She made our family feel comfortable and made us laugh. After the photo shoot Kelly was quick getting our gallery out and even got it to us a week earlier than expected in order to surprise me for Mother’s Day. We plan on booking with Kelly again sometime in the future and would recommend her photography services For sure! More...

We are thrilled with the photos from our newborn session with Kelly. She’s great with babies and her studio is well equipped to capture amazing images, even when the subject of is somewhat uncooperative. Kelly is very professional and she made the whole experience really fun. We will definitely use Kelly again to capture more special family moments. More...

Drc 20 We have just finished a wonderful little Elopement style wedding in Lake Louise and can’t thank Kelly enough for her care in the quality shots, including the First Skate, family and ceremony pics . Kelly made everyone feel included and took both traditional and shots taking advantage of the surroundings! We also loved that she appreciated the times and tailored the package to it! Thanks Kelly!

I couldn't have asked for a better photography experience with Kelly. She has incredible vision, is extremely talented and professional and a lot of fun. Throughout the shoot Kelly had provided us with great direction which made us feel comfortable and confident. She was also able to capture beautiful candid moments during our wedding elopement ceremony that were so special. We can see our happiness and joy shine perfectly through our photos which is something I will cherish forever. Thank you so much, Kelly! More...

We had our engagement shoot with Kelly and she made everything so easy. She was always giving good suggestions on what to do and how I should propose!
She captured the entire moment perfectly and took us to do a shoot after. She worked with us the whole time and made us feel so comfortable as well as making sure we were okay the whole time.
The photos came out so beautifully. We were so in love the with quality that we ordered 15 from her. Kelly, again, worked with us and helped come to a perfect solution with the ordering as well.
Once ordered, we received them within minutes.
Would HIGHLY recommend hiring Kelly for your next event!
