“Working with Kelly is a treat. No, it’s actually a privilege, come to think of it… nobody else I have hired to do portraits of a client has captured both their professional and human side the way that Kelly can. Her images tell stories and her technical excellence shines through each one (and I’m a stickler for production value). I wish I had more projects we could work together on, she’s that awesome!”

-David Moffitt, Grid Marketing

“I have hired Kelly many times in the past few years for my business and family. Kelly is a creative and kind soul who puts her heart into her business. She is extremely authentic and makes being in front of the camera easy. She allows you to be yourself while directing you on how look natural and fun. My family has benefited many times from Kelly’s ability to preserve our memories for generations to come.”

“Things couldn't have been more aligned when meeting and working with Kelly. Regardless of if this was my first branding shoot ever or my 100th, Kelly is able to put anybody at ease and feel confident in their skin when she is photographing you. Her work showcases her passion as well as the dedication she has to you AND your message. There is no other photographer I would have rather worked with for my first branding photoshoot!”

-Tasia Clemons, Redesigning Justice

“Thank you for a wonderful experience. I am so excited, happy, overwhelmed with joy, and amazed! You have created a memorable experience not just through the photos, but with a memory. Something that was once painful—now a cherished experience.”

“My daughter loved working with Kelly on her senior pictures. Kelly put her immediately at ease, didn’t rush, and took the time to get to know my daughter so her pictures are a true reflection of who she is. I know getting professional pictures can be stressful, but our experience with Kelly was such a pleasant one- we had fun!

-Jill (and Olivia) Halpin

“We used Kelly for our very first company photo shoot. She made the session fun for all involved and we are in love with the headshots and action shots she got of our crew. We highly recommend Kelly Kester Photography!”

-Addy Wischmeyer, Wischmeyer’s Plumbing Plus

“One of my business goals was to share meaningful, helpful content with others that also showed my personality as a business owner. Kelly and I scheduled quarterly branding photos so that I could always have fresh photos that would allow me to tell a story about what I do and who I am… Working with Kelly has allowed me to better my marketing and stop spinning my tires when it comes to sharing on social media. What a gift to my business Kelly and her services have been!”

“I have worked with Kelly for several photo sessions for my small business and I can't say enough wonderful things! From the moment we first connected on a quick phone call, I knew Kelly was the person to trust when it came to photography. She enthusiastically listened to my million and one ideas and shared her expert advice on how we could bring this vision to life. Kelly is collaborative, creative and an absolute ROCK STAR at what she does.”
