I believe that portraits are timeless. They tell our story for generations to come.
When I was a senior, the choices were slim- the mass volume studios, with a "cattle call" feel. Every image looked the same, I looked just like everyone else- no personality or style. Now, when I look back, I want to know WHO I WAS, and I am stuck with boring photos from my own senior year.
In the end, I want to give my senior clients the best experience possible. From our first chat, to the artwork that will hang in your home, I want the process to be amazing, and most of all, FUN! This year is special, for both you, and is 18 years in the making. Celebrate who you are, and who you are becoming!

Imagine if your senior photos told YOUR story. I think they should, because your story is unlike anyone else's!
When I was a senior, the choices were slim- the mass volume studios, with a "cattle call" feel. Every image looked the same, I looked just like everyone else- no personality or style, dare I say, basic.... Now, when I look back, I want to know WHO I WAS, and I am stuck with boring photos from my own senior year.
In the end, I want to give my senior clients the best and most revolutionary experience possible. From our first chat, to the artwork that will hang in your home, I want the process to be amazing, and most of all, FUN! This year is special, for both you, and is 18 years in the making. Celebrate who you are, and who you are becoming!
You only get to do your senior year once... for both parents and kids!
From prom to graduation....
From saying to goodbye to your besties, and preparing to head off on your own for the first time...
From preparing college applications, to anxiously anticipating those acceptance letters....
From those last day as a student athlete, to your first day as a college student...
Senior year is filled with many milestones, changes, and bittersweet memories for both seniors and their parents!
As a recent senior momma myself, I know how special this year is, and how important it is to capture this year as you are, and all the excitement of where you are going. I want to get to know YOU and make your session unlike anything else you have done!
A little about me... I have lived in Jacksonville since 1984. I went to high school here, too! I graduated from UF {Go gators!} with a degree in Finance and Economics. I have 4 kiddos, 2 doggies, and one fabulous husband. I love to travel, I love to eat out, I love coffee and wine, and I love to shop! I try and laugh a lot, not take myself TOO seriously...
I'm Kelleen ...but everyone who knows me well, calls me Kelly, and I can't wait to be part of your senior year!

I am always in sunglasses, I am addicted to the Food Network and I cry during commercials
