For any outdoor session, the weather is ALWAYS a factor. I want my clients to have the best weather possible for their sessions. Sometimes that means rescheduling, but sometimes that means taking a risk to get something extraordinary. For the Brundidge family’s session last fall, Jennifer and I were texting back and forth practically every hour, leading up to the session, wondering if we should…

Maybe it’s because I just don’t love the cold and dreariness of winter, but I can’t stop going back to look the Isenbarger’s beach family photos at Indiana Dunes last year. (Although I was born in Minnesota, I think I might be a warm weather girl at heart!) This post is especially for my Midwest friends. But the beach is too far away… Have you…

Isenbarger's Beach Family Photos at Indiana Dunes - Kelly McPhail Photography
Whenever life is hurtling obstacles my way, I’m typically a “just-watch-me-overcome-and-persevere” kind of person rather than a “it-must-be-a-sign-the-universe-is-trying-to-tell-me-something” kind of person. It’s probably stubborness! (Just ask my husband or parents…) So when I tell you it took three tries to get the Armentrout’s family photos at Indiana Dunes this past summer, you’ll understand that I was going to make these beach photos happen no matter…

Christmas Tree Farm Session - Kelly McPhail Photography
Many clients come to me expecting their family photo session to be a stressful event. They really really want the photos, but with young kids, they assume the process of getting the photos will be a challenge. We all want stress-free family photos, right? I admit that there is a lot of work involved—getting everybody dressed and ready to go can be a chore all…

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.
