Hi, I'm Kelly

Life is messy and wild, but let's make it beautiful

Hi, I'm Kelly — the photographer behind Kelly Christine Photography. I'm a newborn and family photographer serving families from Lakeville to Woodbury and throughout the Twin Cities metro, creating light and airy imagery rooted in connection, motherhood, and the chaotic beauty of childhood.

I believe your session should feel like more than a photoshoot. From styling your family and providing a curated client closet for expecting and postpartum moms to wraps and outfits for baby, every detail is thoughtfully considered so you can simply show up and be present with the people you love most.

Because childhood is sacred — and it moves far too quickly. I'm here to document the tiny hands, quiet snuggles, the silly laughs, movement, and even a little chaos. The ordinary moments that, one day, will mean everything.

From your growing bump and first newborn days to every season of family life that follows, my approach is relaxed, connection-led, and intentional.

If you're looking for an effortless photography experience and images that feel beautifully, unmistakably yours, you're in the right place.
