Hi, I’m Kelsi

I’m the heart and lens behind Lovebug Photography. Photography began as a hobby while I was working as a neonatal ICU nurse. After six years of caring for the tiniest patients, I felt called to capture the beautiful, emotional side of those early moments.

I believe in documentary, storytelling photography. I want you to look back at your images and feel the flood of emotions all over again β€” the first time they placed your baby in your arms, the laughter as you chase little feet through the wildflowers, the quiet connection that only a parent knows.

It’s about the light in the everyday. Let’s create memories together.

β€” Kelsi
