Mentor Sessions + Motherhood

This is one of my favorite sessions + here’s why… it started as a mentor session with this beautiful momma you see in these photos + then turned into a mini Motherhood Session. One of my most adored progressions as a business owner has been mentoring + pouring into other photographers who are eager to learn, grow + dive deeper into bettering themselves as business women.

I’ll never forget the feeling of overwhelm, confusion, frustration, comparison… honestly, the list goes on when I first stepped into the pool of photography. All I wanted to do was feel more confident behind the camera, know exactly what I was doing on the business side + succeed, make a name for myself. But for whatever reason everything was hush-hush. Asking a photographer what preset they use or what location they shot at or what their camera settings on an image were unheard of. I hated the feeling. It was really a world of every man for themselves. If I wanted to learn I had to do some deep google searching or try, fail, try again.

Fast-forward five years + I was well on my feet, but again, only after facing trial + error, late nights, money spent + money wasted. It was no easy feat, but I’m proud to have built the company I have + knew that I wanted to change things moving forward. I knew that if a photographer reached out to ask a question I’d give them the best most honest answer I could because heck, starting out is so hard + I wanted to help. Like truly help. Plus, it feels so good to help others, I suppose that’s the ennegram two in me.

For this session Morgan + I focused on working with 35mm film, practiced metering + the importance on waiting for the shot. After we were done shooting a roll of film I then took over + photographed her with her son for a sweet Motherhood Session as I talked through what I was doing so that she could get an idea of what I think about during a shoot.

I have a true passion for equipping motherhood + family photographers, especially those that are “new-to-the-scene” + feeling all the intimidation of starting out, to create the work they dream of + build a photography business that aligns with their own vision + values. If finding a mentor for 2023 is one of your goals + you’re interested in learning more about my Mentor Sessions or coaching groups I would love to chat, please feel free to email me!


Here’s a little behind the scenes of our time together in Morgan’s Studio.


Cozy at Home as a Family of Three | Milwaukee Newborn Photographer | Film Photography | Kyle Kelley Photography

Newborn Sessions are the heart + soul, the bread + butter to Kyle Kelley Photography. These sessions are near + dear to my heart because this is where it all started for me, photographing the beautiful season of newborns.

Did you know that when you reserve your session you have the option to either shoot in the KKP Studio or inside your home? I adore both locations + can always find the light inside your cozy home, just like I did for this sweet new family of three. There was light all over the house + we bounced around from the living room to the den to the nursery.

Prior to our time together you will receive all the information you’ll need in order to feel + be fully prepared for our time together. Over the last seven years I have created a foolproof email full of how to prepare, what to wear, + much more in order to create a flawless session together. Whether you’re welcoming your first bundle of joy or you have a full arms worth of kiddos, I’m here to help you every step of the way! My goal is to eliminate any stresses you may have going into your session because let’s face it, you have enough on your plate as it is!! These extra steps are just some of the reasons why people enjoy their experience with KKP!

Motherhood on Film | Kyle Kelley Photography | Milwaukee Maternity Photographer

This past week my family + I took a trip to Sanibel Island, FL for my birthday + ever since being back I’ve been craving more sunshine, warmer temps + the color green. So, I’m sharing this beautiful Motherhood Session from last spring/summer.

This stunning momma was carrying not just one, but TWO babies + upon their arrival she became a momma to three boys! This gorgeous Motherhood Session was a hybrid one, meaning I shot both film + digital images. My goal when working with both mediums is to make sure the image colors + tones match. I’d love to know which you thought are digital + which are film!

New Year, new post!! As 2022 begins I’m full of all the hope + excitement for what my seventh year in business will bring. There is a lot to share, including the launch of Kyle Kelley Programs + the first photography education opportunity, the Big Camera Membership, happening THIS month. If you’d like to receive more information as well as special launch offers, you can join the waitlist here!

I’m also looking forward to the completion of the KKP Studio + having a cozy place to shoot in + offer to all the beautiful Milwaukee families. I first started shooting studio sessions in 2018 + have adored the chance to give a warm, bright, clean space for families who feel their house just doesn’t get as much natural light as they’d hope for their session. As a Milwaukee newborn + family photographer, I’m eager to begin photographing growing families + sharing this unique boutique experience with them.

Here is a peek into a very sweet Newborn Session on film that was captured in my last studio. If you’re interested in booking with KKP click here!
