    These are fabulous! I always love how natural and un-selfconscious Kelsey looks. I’m hoping one day Campbell will be such a willing model. I may send her to Kelsey to tutor. Actually, it’s more attitude than anything. When she’s in the mood, she’s a great model. The day will come {she tells herself}. xo

About Me

Hi There! I’m Kelly. I am a wife, mom, light seeker, homemaker, and storyteller. From an empty nest to an abundant life, all it took was a little time, a lot of faith, and the courage to see my life differently.

You can read more about my story here.

So now, armed with my trusty Canon camera, here is where I share my journey to live an inspired and intentional life.

Welcome to my little corner of the interwebs!
