Hello friends,

I’ve got some exciting updates to share as the seasons shift and new beginnings bloom here at Kellwood Studio Photography.

Our Home is for Sale!
We’re opening the doors to the place where so many of your cherished memories have been captured. Our beloved home is officially for sale as we prepare to move to a larger property right here in town, with even more beautiful land for photos and farm life.
Join us for an Open House: Saturday, May 3 | 10:00 AM – 12:00 PM
If you’ve ever dreamed of waking up to sunrise skies and roaming animals, come take a peek at the place behind the lens.

Summer Photography Classes Are Here
During the quiet winter months, I’ve been dreaming and planning—and I’m excited to now offer photography classes for adults, starting this summer!
We’ll kick off with a favorite: Equine Photography Classes in June and July.
Find details and sign up below!

Baby Goat Alert!

Our sweet does are due in the middle of May, and you know what that means—tiny hooves, floppy ears, and the perfect photo ops!
I’ll be offering special photography sessions during our farm tours once the babies arrive. More details (and adorable pictures) will be coming soon.

I’ve officially passed the torch on my studio space to the incredibly talented Beth Babineau of Paint the Sky Photography, who will now be the go-to for newborn studio sessions. She’s in the same location and brings such heart and beauty to every shoot.
As for me, I’m still actively photographing families, children, animals, and headshots, and many of these sessions are happening right here on our scenic farm! I can also bring portable backdrops to your business for team or branding sessions and do on-location photography.

Thank you for being part of this journey, whether through photos, farm visits, or just cheering us on. I’m so grateful for your continued support.

Warmly,
Kellyann Harmon

Kellwood Studio Photography is Now Offering Equine Photography Classes

And just like that! 5 years goes by… Matt and I moved our family out of the suburbs and went rural just shy of 5 years ago. Being a photographer, I have always been drawn to nature, wide open spaces, blue skies, and split rail fences. The serenity touches something deep inside my soul and reminds me of home. As a girl, I grew up with an old abandoned barn and pasture across the street from my home. I had many adventures exploring, tree climbing, fort building, and wild animal collecting growing up in Smalltown, USA. As a young woman, I couldn’t wait to leave Smalltown, USA. I flew out of the quiet as fast as my motorcycle would take me. But as I grew, had babies, and later became a busy mother, I longed to get back to Smalltown, quiet.

I believe God plants dreams in our hearts , visions for what he has for us. In 2015 I drove around Carroll County Illinois dreaming of a different world, and capturing “HOME” on camera. This is one of my pieces of art that stopped my car mid drive so that I could dream of placing myself in the scene for just a moment. I dreamt of living with a pasture and a backyard full of lush grass. 

Who knew, a few decades later Matt and I would own our forever home, complete with blue skies, magnificent sunrises and sunsets, an abandoned barn, fences and to date we have a fantastic family of  30+ chickens,  6 Dairy Goats, 5 Pet Goaties,  Sonny and Willy the Mni Horse brothers, Shirley, Lena, Wiggy and Joanie our 4 Huacaya alpacas and Naomie and Stefan our beautiful horses. (It's been quite a learning curve too!) Not only animals, but we have also included a 1951 Dodge pickup truck named Ruby as our newest family member!  While I have been photographing weddings, corporate events, and people of all walks and ages, I am evolving. I have a vision of sharing what we have through my camera. Matt and I have opened Promiseland Farm to the public to enjoy and create memories with God's beauty and our animals…. Whether you love horses, goats, or sunrises, as we do, we invite you out to have a photoshoot in the beauty and serenity of our HOME, Promiseland Farm!

So if you are looking for a unique photoshoot with nature, some goats or alpacas, we are ready to share the beauty and create memories with you here! We will be taking bookings beginning June 1 and we are practicing Covid-19 safety guidelines until our state advises otherwise. So come on out, hold a chicken, hug an alpaca and let us capture the magic in a unique Promiseland Farm family photo session experience for you!

We look forward to meeting you! 

Let's Create Something Together!

Love and Light,

How to Have Success with Your Newborn Session

Of all the beautiful images that I get to take, there is none so precious as the Newborn Session.  This session, taken in the comfort and privacy of your home is to many the most mysterious kind of session. What will we wear? What should I expect are some of the questions that come up. And given that fact that many things can happen during a newborn session, including needing to nurse, oopsie accidents and crying babies to name a few, on top of nervous parents can add up to some serious stress.  While we can't guarantee a quick seamless session, I can guide you to some secrets that have proven successful for me over time. Read on!

Simply by taking care of you and your family and doing some of the preparations in advance can minimize much stress. If you have any questions at all, I am here for you, to guide and help you. 

I look forward to working together!

XO~ Kellyann
