Joyful documentation of your special event

Event photography

From family birthday parties & reunions to small business events & corporate gatherings, I partner with you to document your event with joy. I take candid photos throughout the event so you can be fully present, and I’m available for any quick, posed group photos you’d like as well.

Coverage is available at $350/hour and includes a full digital gallery of the best images from our time together.

Laid-back headshots that feel like you

Headshots & branding

Hot take: your headshot should look & feel like who you really are. Whether you’re off to a new opportunity or just need a refresh, I aim to represent you and your goals well. 

I offer relaxed headshots & branding photos in an outdoor setting or indoors with plenty of natural light. 30-minute sessions allow time for headshots, and 1-hour sessions allow more time for branding photos that tell the story of what you do. Please inquire about storytelling photos requiring more time, too!

$295 - 30 minutes, 5 images, ability to order more
$575 - 1 hour, 10 images, ability to order more

Partnering together to give back

Partnerships & Fundraisers
let's partner together

Have fun with friends and family while giving back to the community. 

Raising money for a school or nonprofit? We can partner together to promote sessions that give a portion of sales to your organization! Create a special mini-session event in a convenient spot for interested families, or ask about partnering together with existing session opportunities. 

Photo Fundraisers

Photo Parties

Gather up your friends & their families, and I’ll take candid photos for all of you! 

Before
: Each family pitches in a small amount to participate. During: You all have a fun & relaxed time hanging out together. After: Each family buys any photos they’d like from an online gallery.

As my photo party partner (or hostess), you get a portion of sales as a credit for your own photos from the event, to save for a separate photo session with me, or to donate to a local nonprofit. 

“I am beyond happy with how fun and playful they turned out, especially considering it was one less thing I had to remember to do. As a result, I got to play too!”

Kids' birthday parties are chaotic and the bulk of that chaos always falls on mom, including remembering to take pictures. Which results in mom not even being IN said pictures ... Thank you so much, Kelly, for your warmth, friendliness, intuitiveness, and eye for detail!

“As a small business owner I'd absolutely recommend Light Creative to others!”

Kelly was very easy to work with and captured sweet moments from my floral design for self-care workshop. Kelly also blended in with the group, which allowed everyone to feel comfortable and focused on their creative process. She was reasonably priced and was able to capture important parts of the creative process.
