Color Theory: Your Secret Weapon for Family Photo Outfits - Kelly McPhail Photography

My passion is capturing photographs of heartfelt moments for families to savor forever as keepsake memories. I believe the best photos come from real connection, not perfect poses.

Whenever I’m not helping your family, you can find me loving on my own. Camping trips, boba tea, and games are our favorite ways to connect! And as a mom of three, I know firsthand how quickly these moments fly by and why they’re worth preserving.


These are the moments I live to capture. the ones that matter most.
