The Photographer
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.

Keely is always growing and learning new techniques and poses, so it's never the same experience twice. Highly recommend for all occasions!"
