The story of a photographer


Hello there, I’m Kelsie Jo, and I’ve been in the photography business for 15 years! My love for photography began as a young child but grew into a business during my junior year at Southside High School. I’ve been a photographer ever since. I’ve been blessed to receive the title of Best of the Best Photographer in the River Valley, as well as honored with several photo awards, and chosen to travel the world to photograph weddings. I always strive to make sure my clients are happy and go the extra mile to make sure that what they envision is brought to life through my lens. I specialize in commercial headshots and branding photos for businesses. But I also photograph weddings, destination weddings, family, maternity, and senior photography.

My Life

As much as I love my job, I do have one more job that I love even more and that is being a mommy! I have a handsome 6 year old little boy named Bennett Otto and a beautiful 4 year old baby girl, Karlee Jo. They are my entire world! You may catch glimpses of them on my Instagram because, honestly, I just can't help myself! Their daddy happens to be the love of my life and we've been married for 6 years. My little family is my motivation to continue being the best mama I can be!
