Hey there! I’m Keely, a passionate photographer with a love for capturing moments that tell a story. My journey started way back in my teen years—setting up DIY photoshoots with bedsheets as backdrops and my best friends as models. That early creativity turned into something much bigger when I landed a job at a portrait studio in my twenties, eventually moving up to high school and senior photography. That’s when I knew—this was more than just a job or a hobby; it was my calling.  Starting my own business wasn’t easy (spoiler alert: I failed a A LOT), but every challenge was a lesson that pushed me to grow. With years of self-training, endless YouTube tutorials, hands-on practice, and a whole lot of passion, I turned my love for photography into a career I’m truly proud of. Now, with Sugarcoated Photography, I get to do what I love—capturing life’s moments and bringing out a person’s inner beauty in a way that feels authentic, fun, and uniquely you. Whether it’s a high-energy session or a quiet, intimate shoot, my goal is to make you feel confident, comfortable, and seen—while preserving your memories in the most beautiful way possible.
