Hello & welcome — I’m so glad you’re here
Hi, I’m Keli — a self-taught equestrian and portrait photographer with a lifelong love for capturing authentic moments. Since childhood, photography has been my passion, and today I combine that creative eye with my love for horses and people to create images that feel genuine, timeless, and full of heart. When I am not behind the camera you will find me spending time with my gelding Roscoe and my two corgis Casey and Butters.
Whether it’s the bond between horse and rider, or the joy of a family moment, I strive to capture the stories that matter most to you.

“Not all those who wander are lost.” — J.R.R. Tolkien
I enjoy traveling across the country to attend photography workshops at ranch locations, photograph wild horses, explore nature, and discover new locations. Capturing the beauty of sunsets, birds, wildlife, and the natural world brings me immense joy. Each image I create is crafted with care, turning moments in nature into fine art prints that share the wonder, freedom, and spirit of the world around us.
Keli made my photo shoot so much fun. I’m extremely uncomfortable in front of a camera and she made me feel beautiful and took amazing photos of me and my pony. I’d highly recommend her

Keli was so friendly and professional with me and my horses. She captured us in such a true and complimentary way showing the special bond that me and my horses have. She was a joy to work with!
