New Beginnings








Dave and Lorraine invited me out to their brand new home for their engagement session.
It was a home that was mostly empty but soon to be full of memories in the making.
As it turned out is was a wonderful backdrop to their wonderful connection.
Thank you both for the privilege.

Sara & Tucker



You just never know who's going to drop by the studio.
Sara's visit was an adorable surprise today as she shared her newest addition Tucker.
We were smitten to say the least and so I gave him the proper photographic initiation ( I couldn't help myself). We had the pleasure of photographing Sara's wedding last summer and it's so
great that we have clients that just stop by to say hi,catch us up to their lives,
bring in their kids and or pooches.
What a wonderful job I have.
Thanks Sara for taking the time, stop by any time!

Tricia's Favorites Feed the Hungry























So we have all these portrait sessions that I want to share with you, but they are not quite put to bed so I will wait until next month. So this month I thought I would go back through our 2008 weddings and pick a favorite from each one. I was a bit overwhelmed after I made my decision. Each wedding has so many great photographs and how could I possibly pick just one ... and how could I possibly know what my favorite is without hours of analyzation. But then, as with everything, I just started. And when I opened up each wedding folder, I instantly knew the photography I was looking for. There was always a moment or photo that I clearly remembered and wanted to find. It was actually quite simple in the end.

And that's another reason I love what we do. A photo has so much power to take you right back to the time and place when it was taken. Even an out-of-focus, poor-lighting, terrible-composition photo. Lucky for everyone involved, Keels Photography doesn't take that kind. But they are powerful nonetheless. And I love that we beautifully document moments in people's lives. And these photos will instantly take them back and help them remember and honor something they might not have remembered without the visual to guide them. So remember and enjoy.

All my favorites are available in a 5x7 for only $15. And all of the proceeds go toward buying livestock for families in rural Asia. Today Keels Photography bought its first goat thanks to last month's favorites. Now there is a moment I would like to photograph. Seeing a family in need receive a gift that will help feed them for years to come.

Call us at 487-8035 if you would like to order or would like to learn more about our Favorites to Feed the Hungry initiative.

Thanks.

Faith & Talia



I don't think that I quite got their names straight,
identical twins and all but the two gave me much
grace. We had plenty of laughs as we romped and rolled around the studio.
thank you girls for all the cheerios and the work out.
