I took maternity photos. Kelly was sweet, respectful and easy to work with. I enjoyed the shoot. I will be using her for newborn photos when the kiddo arrives and I can’t wait! ! I recommend Kelly and Made U Smile. More...

Kelly was AMAZING. So patient and gentle with my little one who was not ready to cooperate and was not the sleepy angel that you see in newborn photos.

The owner, Kelly, is super passionate about her work and it shows. Her patience and enthusiasm for what she does is definitely inspiring and her work is so heartwarming! I definitely recommend Made U Smile - great vibes all around � More...

Absolutely wonderful having Kelly come to our home. She was more than prepared and had ideas to help us make Wally's newborn session memorable�. Very patient with Wally & his big toddler sis (even while she was too busy jumping on the bed to take pictures��). Can't wait to see the rest of pictures!! More...

Kelly was wonderful with our newborn and toddler! She brought basically the whole studio to our house for newborn and a family lifestyle shoot, which was amazing because who wants to leave their house right after they've had a baby? The pictures turned out absolutely adorable and I can't wait to use her again for our family pictures! More...

What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
I truly believe you have to love what you do!! I think that joy carries through the camera and is reflected into the final image.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
I always ask if they are looking for something specific! I want to make each session personalized for each family.
What do you love most about your job?
Hands down, baby snuggles!! Although I do love showing pregnant moms how gorgeous they are!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I have worked in several studios over the years. They are all very strict on time and limiting on creativity. I wanted to offer a better experience for photos.
Why should our clients choose you?
I have over a decade of experience. I bring that experience with my camera (and newborns!) at a resonable price.
