ABOUT

Hi, my name is Kelley Ryan, and I am a family and lifestyle photographer based in Smithfield, VA. My journey with photography began over 25 years ago, sparked by a passion for capturing the beauty and authenticity of everyday life. Today, with a Bachelor’s Degree in Digital Photography and years of experience behind the lens, I’ve turned that passion into a career dedicated to preserving life’s most meaningful moments.

Growing up in Virginia Beach, VA, I developed a love for storytelling through images. Whether it’s the quiet tenderness of a newborn, the laughter shared at a family gathering, or the candid connections that make every relationship special, I aim to create images that feel timeless and authentic.

When I’m not working with clients, you can find me traveling to new places, diving into a good book, or spending quality time with my family. As a proud mother of two daughters and Mimi to one perfect granddaughter, I understand the importance of cherishing life’s milestones—and it’s this perspective that fuels my passion for photography.

I would love to help you tell your story, whether you’re celebrating a special occasion or simply want to capture the magic of everyday moments. Let’s work together to create images you’ll treasure for years to come!
