Kelley DeSmit Photography

I'm Kelley, photographer, wife, mother, plant keeper, adventurer.

These days I spend most of my time with my little family in our Minneapolis home where my indoor plants are thriving and our bookshelves are messy. If we aren’t home you can typically find us in nature, out on a simple walk or along a river fly-fishing.

My relationship with photography has morphed over the years. What started as a creative outlet to capture my family in the day-to-day or our outdoor adventures has turned into a passion to document special moments for others. I am drawn to the little in-between moments, the side eye glances and subtle smirks, the small fingers wrapped around a parent’s hand or grandma over in the first row wiping a tear as she watches her grandchild read their vows. The small stuff, as far as i’m concerned, is the big stuff.

This is your story, your life, and it's beautiful - I'd be honored if you trust me to tell it.
