Several months ago, I signed up to be a volunteer photographer for Together We Rise, a non-profit that amongst other things connects photographers and families that have recently adopted for free family photo shoots. The first time Together We Rise contacted me, I unfortunately was unavailable, but the next time, despite being only about 2.5 …
I am in the business of photographing families; most of these families include young children. Typically, I shoot a lot of lifestyle and documentary with a few posed images thrown in there. I’m magnetically drawn to documentary family photos: the connections, the emotions, the raw, gritty stories that a single image can portray. I love …
Walking into a client’s home and documenting their family makes me SO nervous. To me, a home is a sacred space, it is where a family should feel safe and comfortable and protected. When families allow me to come into that space and document the every day of their lives, it’s like inviting me into …
Hi! (I say that in a super excited voice) I’m Kelly from Momma Got Soul Photography. I am a documentary photographer in the hot humid Tampa Bay Area. I know everyone else is getting ready for fall but not so much here. I’ve been at this a few years, I don’t really keep track. It’s hard …

We had been planning this session since Jenny found these outfits stashed away in a closet in her home. Anyone …
It’s that time of year again, fall family photos. It’s like tax time to an accountant. It’s the photographers busy season. For photographers it mean lots of late nights, extra coffee and the feeling of not being able to get it all done. This year I embarked on a new journey in my business. Well …
I love a good before and after, especially for more creative edits, so this month, I decided to share some of my own edits and brief descriptions of how I did them. Not every photo I take has edits as extensive as these below, and in fact, most don’t, but I wanted to show that …
