Thank you for your interest in Kelly West Photography.

I have loved photography since my first job as a teenager, taking pictures of tourists on the beach in Virginia Beach, Virginia.

Over the years, I have photographed weddings, corporate events, families, and more, but today I focus primarily on individuals and couples. I describe my style as portrait art. I’m especially drawn to black and white photography and strive to keep everything as natural as possible—the setting, the expressions, and the experience itself.

My goal is always to create images filled with emotion, connection, and soul.

I believe photographs of people and their special moments become some of life’s most treasured possessions. It is deeply fulfilling to create images that are cherished today and passed down for generations to come.
