Hello, I'm kelly
newborn & family Photographer
Let me give you a glimpse inside my world! I am a proud daughter of God first and foremost! I am married to the world's most patient and kind man! We have known each other since the 6th grade. We ended up going in different directions, but found each other again years later. He was the best man in a wedding I was photographing, sparks flew and the rest is history. I am mama of 4 beautiful and hilarious children that definitely keep me on my toes! Luke, Logan, Cora and Baby Charlotte! We have 2 pups so if you are keeping count, that is a whole lotta little feet running around 24/7 and I wouldn't have it any other way!
Now that I have introduced myself, let me tell you how this crazy little dream of mine came to be! In second grade, I won a photo taking contest where I won my first camera! I haven't been without a camera since. Fast forward to Junior year of High School, a couple I knew was getting married. They were young and were not able to afford to hire a photographer so I offered to do it as a gift to them. That was the beginning of my portfolio. Before I knew it, I was running a photography business! I spent my 20's traveling and photographing anything and everything on my adventures. I truly fell in love with this art during this time!
Irish Eyes was born 14 years ago when my mom and I decided to go into business together. She now runs the wedding side of the business, our friend Nicki runs the Senior side, and I run the Newborns and Family side with the help of an AMAZING TEAM OF PHOTOGRAPHERS!!!!! Not only is Irish Eyes one big family, we wholeheartedly believe our clients are an extension of our family!
Pouring my heart and soul into capturing Authentic Love is what I believe God put me on this Earth to do!
Our Studio is located in the heart of Cottleville Missouri! We cant wait to see you!

We got newborn photos done with Irish Eyes Newborns & Families after having our firstborn, and it was the best experience I could have ever hoped for! My sweet husband bought the newborn photo package for me as a Mother’s Day gift, just a few months before we had our girl. What an incredible gift it was!!! A week after we had our daughter, we showed up to Kelly’s gorgeous studio. I felt so comfortable and so pampered. She had a coffee waiting for me and my husband, and she welcomed me into her client closet to try on different outfits for my photos. (What a true relief it was to not have to worry about preparing an outfit just a week after giving birth!). She then took our daughter to prepare her for the photoshoot and told my husband and I to sit back and relax on her comfy couch and enjoy our coffees. This was the first time since our daughter was born that we got to sit back, relax, get caffeinated, and we got to watch Kelly go to work and do her thing! She is so talented, professional, caring, and we are in LOVE with the photos she took. It was the most beautiful experience and I am so thankful we got these photos done. Kelly also got the photos back to us very quickly and allowed us to pick our favorites for editing. She sent us the final copies and we now have her incredible photos hanging in our daughters nursery and we also made a photo book through Shutterfly as well! I have recommended Irish Eyes Newborns & Families to ALL of my friends who are pregnant, and all the friends who take my advice are so happy with their photos!

Irish eyes is absolutely wonderful! We used them for our wedding so it was so special to use them for our newborn shoot as well. Kelly always creates the most calming and easiest experience for what can feel like overwhelming days. I don’t know how I would keep these memories without her!

I have been working with Irish Eyes Newborns & Families for 12 years now. I have always been pleased with their service and the quality of photos they manage to capture. Especially when my children are being less than cooperative. They have always been patient with my kids and have lots of tricks up their sleeves to bring out the giggles and good smiles. I have never felt like they were rushing us along.
