Shelby + Tyler

an engagement portrait session in Carmel-by-the-Sea, a small town on the coast of California.

Carmel-by-the-Sea feels like something out of a storybook—cobblestone streets, cottages tucked behind blooms, and the beach just steps away. In late summer, the town glows with warm natural light and coastal breeze, making it the perfect backdrop for these engagement portraits with Shelby and Tyler.

  • "Our experience working with Kelsey was absolutely amazing! While taking photos of my 3-year-old son, she was gentle, kind and patient. Though he is easily distracted, she knew exactly how to capture his attention and make him feel comfortable during the photo shoot. The end result was a collection of beautiful photos that perfectly capture the essence of our sweet little boy - joyful, sweet and just a little silly. I look forward to our next photo shoot with Kelsey, she is sure to make it enjoyable for everyone!"

    The McLeary Family

  • “We loved working with Kelsey for our maternity and newborn photos. She was accommodating with the time and location and made us feel comfortable while taking the photos. She gave us easy to follow instructions and was able to spot great places our home to take photos. The photos turned out beautifully... I’m so grateful for the memories she captured that we’ll enjoy for years to come!”

    The Hoffman Family

  • “I can’t even explain how beautiful Kelsey’s photography is! She is truly a expert at her craft. I first hired Kelsey to photograph my mother’s intimate second wedding. I loved what she did so much I hired her to take my maternity and newborn photos. She made me feel so comfortable and caught the absolute BEST images of me, my family, and my new son. Her work with lighting, capturing perfect candid moments, and help with posing is just beyond perfect. I cried when she (quickly) got the sneak peek and photos back to me. In a perfect world she’d come and photograph every life event for me and my family(—is that too much to ask??)!”
