A New Beginning

Just like the babies I photograph, I am embarking on a new beginning!! I have been photographing weddings and portraits for about five years since my move back to New England, but it has always been as a side job. Well, after being a bartender, an account coordinator for an advertising and marketing company, a design coordinator for a denim design company, and most recently working for a sign business, I have decided that my calling is to follow my dream and strictly be a photographer.

Capturing moments that people do not even know are happening is when I am at my finest glory! A sneaky smile, and loving glance, or a little tiny hand wrapped around a parent's finger, these are the moments I LOVE to capture.

I am so excited and honestly scared to finally be able to do what I have always dreamed of. When I was thirteen, my parents took me to Jackson Hole, WY. This was the first time my father let me use his manual camera. I LOVE animals and we were watching a moose in the woods. I asked my father if I could take a picture. Being the animal lover that I am, I kept walking towards it (my mother was, of course, yelling at me for being too close), and I snapped my first real photo. To this day, I remember the excitement I had holding that camera for the first time! I still feel the same excitement now!

Many of my past and recent clients may be confused about the change of the company name Kelly Gallivan Photography. Kgphotographics has always meant Kelly Gallivan Photography. Even though I am married now, I am sticking to it!

I want to share with you some of my favorite photographs that I have taken through the years. Please be sure to check back and see my recent work.

Thanks for reading my introduction and I hope to talk to you soon!
