For the mom who has everything—except a decent photo with her kids.
Let’s fix that. This Mother’s Day, give Mom something better than another scented candle—photos she’ll actually love (Dads, you’re doing great with the iPhones, but we can do even better - I promise 😉).
I’m so excited to bring you this gorgeous hanging floral installation to set the perfect stage for photos with your babies—whether they’re still tiny or taller than you.
Session Dates: April 26 & May 17
Location: Kelley Photo Studio in Tonganoxie
Choose Your Vibe:
Bright & Natural: Classic, airy, and timeless—like the photos you always mean to take but never quite do.
Vintage & Nostalgic: A dreamy, flash-filled, film-inspired look, perfect for moms who appreciate a little retro magic.
Can’t decide? Get both! Because let’s be real, moms do everything, so why not have options?
Warning: These photos may cause unexpected happy tears. Proceed with tissues.
What’s Included
✔️ 15-minute stress-free session in a beautifully styled, handmade floral installation set (zero effort required from you—just show up and look adorable)
✔️ 10 high-resolution, edited images that you can keep and love forever
✔️ Option to purchase additional images (because choosing just ten might be impossible)
✔️ Print release for personal use (so you can finally update that framed photo from 2012)
Want to be the favorite child (or husband) this year?
Gift Mom a session gift card on Mother’s Day for the May 17th date! And make her life even easier with hair and makeup styling by Emily of Magdalena Styles.
Pick your pretty!
Are you a clean, classic, light, bright lover?
Or are you more into the messy, imperfect, nostalgic feel of an old school disposable camera?
Or maybe you’re a little bit country AND a little bit rock and roll (or…. whatever stereo types would fit this scenario)?
“Kelley always does a beautiful job photographing our family! I have had the privilege of experiencing her talents from bare sessions, to maternity, newborn, family, and extended family sessions over the past 10 years and EVERY TIME they are unique and memorable.
She has a way of making everyone let their guard down and just be themselves and the most wonderful authentic shots come to life. She is and will always be our go-to photographer!”

Have questions?
What do I wear?
Whatever your heart desires! The floral installation has pops of pinks and soft oranges and yellows. I suggest staying in that color family and keeping it simple. Neutrals are always gorgeous too (whites with denims never fail to kill it). Avoid writing on shirts, and consider thinking about shoes as they can distract if they don’t go with the outfit well. Bare feet are darling too!
Please wear different shoes in and change to your shoot wardrobe shoes in the studio to help keep the background clean.
How does styling work?
If you’ve chosen to add on styling, Emily will take great care of you, so all you have to do is show up with a clean face, and clean/day old hair! She’ll get with you to give you any more specific directions. Styling will take place at Magdalena Styles studio in Tonganoxie (in the 304 Event Space building), just a short drive from Kelley Photo studio.
Please note, styling may not be available for the time you select - I’ll get with you to confirm. The first date (April 26) has much fewer available styling spots, so if styling is a priority, consider the May date.
Where are these sessions taking place?
Sessions will occur in the Kelley Photo Studio in Tonganoxie, KS. The address will be emailed to you in your confirmation message. When you arrive, please come in the French doors that face the road.
What’s the turnaround time on images?
Photos will be edited and sent to you within 3 weeks. If you need them sooner, please communicate that to Kelley and a rush may be possible.
Who can be in the sessions?
These are geared for mamas and their babies of all ages! If Dad really wants to jump in a shot, we could work that out too. It’s a loose theme 😉
What’s the difference between the styles?
My signature photo look is bright and clean, crisp and clear, and it’s always available! For these sessions, I’m also offering a nostalgic style. These are shot on a completely different camera with a repurposed disposable camera lens and a direct flash. That gives it that “shot on your dad’s phone when you were 2” look. That does mean that these images will be imperfect - a little out of focus, grainy, maybe a little blurry, but that’s all part of their charm. Pick both styles for a $50 add on.
