Who is behind the lens?

My name is Kelli and I’ve been a professional photographer for nearly a decade but I’ve had a camera in my hand since I was in high school.

I love creating photos that are authentic, unique and full of energy. For my senior photos, I invest a lot of time into…

  • planning session locations and styling outfits that will match your child’s personality

  • editing each photo by hand to ensure the quality, colors and details are perfect

  • getting to know you and your senior before and during your session. This helps everyone feel relaxed and comfortable during photos so their natural mannerisms and expressions shine through.

I actually own and operate two photography business. Gold & Grace is my senior photography brand and Kelli Porter Creative is my family and newborn brand.

In addition to being a photographer, I’m a wife and a mom of two kiddos. If you’ve seen my Instagram, you also probably have seen my third child, a large St. Berdoodle who thinks she’s a human. When I’m not working, I enjoy running, being outdoors and anything that allows me to be creative.

I’d love to work with you and your senior and I’m always happy to jump on a call to talk through questions and details.
