I used Kelly Dear Photography for my professional portraits. She exceeded my expectations for a myriad of reasons! It has been a long time since I posed in front of a camera, and Kelly made it a lot of fun. I felt comfortable throughout the entire session because of her professionalism and positivity. Kelly genuinely wanted to photograph the moment rather than just snapping a bunch of random expressions. Also, she was able to accommodate my last minute booking with a quick turn around for the final product. I feel very confident submitting my professional portrait for an important interview because Kelly Dear Photography captured a photo of my best self!

Kelly is an amazing photographer who did a photo session with me, my wife, and our two kids. She was very easy to work with and made us feel comfortable and relaxed. She brought props like hats and flower crowns that added fun and color to our photos. She also suggested a beautiful location for the photo session: a sunflower patch that was in full bloom. The sunflowers created a stunning backdrop for our photos and made them look even more vibrant and cheerful. Kelly was generous with her time and took many photos of us in different poses and settings. She was attentive to every detail and made sure we were happy with each shot. She also edited the photos quickly and delivered them to us in high quality. The photos are absolutely gorgeous and captured our family’s love and happiness. We are so grateful to Kelly for giving us these precious memories that we will cherish forever. Kelly is a superb photographer and I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a professional and creative photo session. Thank you, Kelly!

I can't recommend Kelly enough! If you're looking for a photographer who captures the essence of your family in the most authentic and candid way, then look no further. Kelly has an incredible talent for bringing out the true emotions and personalities of each family member, resulting in incredible photos.The final photographs left my husband and I speechless. Each image feels so true to life, and we couldn't be happier with the result. The photos are already some of my favorites!The communication throughout the whole process was seamless, and Kelly was always responsive to my questions.If you're seeking a photographer who can capture the heart and soul of your family, Kelly is the one. Her passion for photography shines through in every shot, and she truly has a gift for turning moments into memories. Thank you, Kelly, for preserving our family's love so beautifully!

We’ve had 3 sessions with Kelly this year - maternity, newborn, & family photos - and hope to continue to work with her in the future! She discussed ideas for locations, wardrobe and ultimately we came up with a plan that worked best for us both. I was immediately taken by her enthusiasm and she was thoughtful to make sure she asked what our vision for photos was. She was so accommodating, patient, and professional during our newborn session and the images are AMAZING. We ordered digitals and a book from the maternity and newborn sessions, and were blown away with the quality. Kelly hand delivered which was a nice personal touch. We’re in love with our photos and thankful she was able to capture these memories for us - can’t recommend her more highly!

Kelly is an AMAZING photographer!!!! I stumbled upon her website when I was searching for a family photographer near my area in Maryland. I loved the sample gallery in her website, so I immediately contacted her. She was very professional and passionate about her work. My kids are not easy to work with for photographers, but Kelly was very patient with them and was able to capture so many great photos. She helped me so much with the planning and ideas for my family photos, somehow managed to get great poses from the little ones, made us feel very comfortable, stayed in contact with every step of the process, delivered the final product earlier than expected, and now I have beautiful photos that I’ll cherish forever. I highly recommend Kelly to anyone and I will definitely be a returning customer.

Working with Kelly is an absolute dream. My team hired her for a client event, and not only did Kelly go above and beyond, but she did it all with a way that made you feel like you’d known her for a lifetime. She is professional, she is kind, she is an incredibly hard worker, and she is an amazing collaborator. One tiny example of Kelly’s talent is when we had to postpone our event- Kelly was in the thick of it with us trying to figure out how to best serve our clients. She was thoughtful, flexible and embodied the type of energy you want when things get turned upside down due to weather. And that doesn’t even touch the breath taking work she creates! She has an ability to know exactly what your heart wishes for in a picture. The people who are blessed with her art will forever be grateful for capturing that moment in time. Kelly is a true artist and I cannot say enough amazing things. HIGHLY recommend for anything you need. I promise she will exceed all your wishes. Thank you for being incredible Kelly, it’s been an absolute joy to work with you!!

Kelly was absolutely amazing with our 3 little ones! They loved her so much! We moved from out of state and we’re in need of a new family photographer…I am SO grateful I found Kelly! From the time we showed up, to the end of the session, Kelly made sure to keep the kids engaged and did the most incredible job capturing some amazing candids. Kelly and her work, services and time were well worth every penny! She stayed in constant contact from the time I booked, to the receipt of our photos and was always offering to help every step of the way. We will be using her as our family photographer for years to come! If you are in search of a photographer for anything at all, I highly recommend stop looking and go with Kelly ❤️

A little expensive, but worth it.I had my maternity photo shoot done with Kelly. We got photos taken with my boyfriend and his daughter. It was nice to have family photos done and to also have a special memory of our pregnancy. We met Kelly and we were immediately impressed with her ability to work with young children. She was very interactive and kind. She made the photo shoot go smoothly, which we were not expecting with our five year old. I really enjoyed the photos and feel that the turnaround to receive the product was not that bad. Not only did we receive beautiful quality photos, but we also had an amazing experience. It wasn’t awkward and she made us feel like we were family. My only advice is to plan and talk to her about expected pricing. But again, it was definitely worth it for the quality experience.

We had such a wonderful time with Kelly for our family portrait session. Not all of us are naturals in front of the camera, but she has the patience and kindness one would expect from an old friend, and her experience behind the lens meant she was able to beautifully capture the love growing of our new family. We are so delighted to have had the opportunity to work with her, and hope that life allows us the chance to do so again!

Kelly is an incredible talent, and I can't recommend her enough. My real estate team recently hired Kelly for an event to provide portraits for our clients, and we had an amazing experience. She was so warm and inviting and made sure every family felt so comfortable in the front of the camera. This sure showed in the photos. She captured so many gems that these families will treasure for years to come. I seriously feel like I could create a magazine with the results. She was also super prepared and quick to respond along the way. If you hire Kelly, you will not be disappointed.
