Los Angeles, California photographer

Kelli is a Los Angeles–based photographer capturing the energy and authenticity of life through lifestyle, portrait, and travel imagery. With over a decade of professional experience, she creates photographs that feel spontaneous yet thoughtfully composed, blending natural light and dynamic environments to tell a story beyond the frame.

Her work spans the globe—from sun-drenched beaches and bustling cities to remote mountain trails—reflecting a love of adventure and a curiosity for culture. Whether documenting a sunrise hike in Yosemite, an intimate portrait in Paris, or the vibrant streets of Tokyo, Kelli approaches every shoot with the same goal: to reveal genuine connection and a sense of place.

Driven by a passion for storytelling and exploration, her photography invites clients to step into each scene and experience the beauty of travel, human connection, and everyday adventure.

Favorite places to photograph at: Almost anywhere in Malibu! Especially during golden hour. If anyone ever forgets what they love about SoCal, Malibu reminds them. I prefer shooting in late afternoon/early evening lighting, or overcast lighting. It's flattering, and offers a completely different mood as opposed to high noon lighting in bright sun.

Favorite restaurant in LA: I'm a mezcal girl, and Oaxaca, MX is one of my favorite places, so my go-to is Madre in Los Feliz!
