KYLE KELLEY MCCLAIN | OWNER + PHOTOGRAPHER.

Hello, friend! I’m KK + for the last 15(ish) years I’ve been in Memphis, TN, but in July 2021, I returned to my stomping grounds!! Milwaukee, WI is my home again + I’m excited to be serving familiar faces as well as new ones! I'm a photographer for the growing family + I'm so thankful you're here!!

My husband + I will celebrate six years of marriage this October, but have known each other for well over a decade! He has been my biggest fan since before this business existed + helps me execute all the crazy ideas I dream up!

On Mother’s Day 2018 I became a mom to a beautiful baby girl + 16 months later we welcomed another baby GIRL! Being in this season of life has led me to where I am today professionally. Being a mom is truly the best job title I may ever have + getting the chance to document other young, growing families brings me so much joy!!

Whenever I am not photographing babies + young families, I’m spending it with my little crew. Most days you can find me in my house (a true homebody at heart) more than likely in the kitchen trying out new recipes or running around, acting a fool with my girls. I run on anything with caffeine, but my drink of choice is a cup of coffee! I’m a night owl, but savor the days when I’m the first one awake in my house! I’m one of five + enjoy the beautiful chaos big families bring! I’ll take the beach over the mountains, I love all things fall, I get really into the holidays + go overboard for birthdays (because my thought is that you never know what your child’s first memory will be), I’m a hugger, addicted to carbs but loving every second of the FWTFL journey, I love flip projects + appreciate interior design, I want a house full of kids + may always suffer from baby fever.

I am truly so blessed to call this journey my job! I’m forever thankful for each family God brings into my life + cherish each relationship that is created.
