Telling your story through emotive, connected
photography + film.
"Kelly is such a gifted photographer. She has an eye for capturing beautiful moments and magic - especially when working with children and families. I use her for business purposes and her communication, professionalism, talent, and quality are surpassed by none. I can unreservedly recommend McKenna Patterson Photography!"

"I would absolutey recommend McKenna Patterson photography! I have worked with Kelly twice to capture images of children using the handmade scented play dough that I sell online and have been thrilled with her work. I was in need of lifestyle photos for my website and social media, and the response to her work has been so positive and has driven customers to my site! It's not easy to photograph children, and Kelly is really able to capture their spirit in an unobtrusive way (not to mention my product as well!) Nothing is forced or contrived, so when you see the images they just come alive! Kelly is such a pleasure and her work speaks for itself."

I can't wait to tell your family's story through timeless photographs and family film.
I want to show the way your child curls their fingers in their hair when they grow tired. The way your littlest one nuzzles into that perfect place in your shoulder meant just for them. The way you spin in the summertime with your kids, dance with your partner. The in-between moments. The moments of connection, of life.
My heart is in the details. During your session, you'll have fun, play, and be yourself.
Contact me to create your unique session!
