There’s just something extra special about mother daughter photos—especially when it’s in a field of wildflowers on a warm summer evening. Maybe it’s the fresh air and freedom to run. Maybe it’s the sunshine and all those belly laughs. Or maybe it’s just the way time seems to slow down when you’re in the middle of snuggles and silliness. Jenny and her daughter brought all…

When to Take Maternity Photos (And Why It Matters!) - Kelly McPhail Photography
Senior Photos Should Feel Like You When I photograph a senior photo session in Greensboro, I’m not just focused on getting a great smile or perfectly styled outfit. I’m paying attention to something deeper: your energy. Your vibe. That spark that makes you you. One of the first things I ask every senior is I book is: ✨ “Why did you choose me?” And nearly…

🌼 A Wildflower Field at Golden Hour: Genna’s Senior Session | Greensboro Senior Photographer - Kelly McPhail Photography
Every May, something magical happens just outside of the Triad—Dogwood Farms in Belews Creek bursts into color with wildflowers as far as the eye can see 🌸✨.

Family photography session in a field of poppies at Dogwood Farms, Belews Creek, NC
There’s something truly magical about capturing wildflower family photos in the midst of a blooming wildflower field! Last spring, I had the absolute pleasure of photographing the sweet Treadway family in a sea of larkspur. As you can see, the golden hour light was absolutely perfect! (That warm glow in all the photos is what I am after in every single session.) After first speaking…

Wildflower Family Session at Dogwood Farms in Belews Creek, NC - Kelly McPhail Photography
Statement outfits—outfits that really stand out or draw attention—are sneakily one of my favorite things about senior photos. Not all, but many of my seniors choose an outfit or piece for their senior photos that really stands outs in a way that “makes a statement” about who they are! The reason I love statement outfits so much is that are one of the major ways…

Scarlett's Senior Photos - Kelly McPhail Photography
One my favorite things about taking senior photos is the artistic journey of uncovering and capturing the distinct personality of each senior. My goal is that their senior portraits authentically represent who they are. While I do get to know them a bit before our session, the real magic unfolds once my camera comes out. I work with all types of seniors and thrive on…

I’ve had the privilege of capturing Virginia and Elizabeth’s milestones since little Virginia was 4 months old. It is an absolute joy for me to watch these little ones grow and document each stage from baby rolls to sitting up, smashing first birthday cakes, and running freely in wildflower fields! Rain and cool temps postponed our session the first time but we had a gorgeous…

The Michael family celebrated Ava’s 1st birthday right around the time of this gorgeous family summer photography session at Cool Creek Park in Carmel, Indiana and we met at 7am to capture these sunrise photos! …
