As a mom of three, I know how quickly the little moments pass, and that’s why family photography is so close to my heart. Based in Central MN, I focus on capturing your family’s unique bond in a fun, relaxed setting. I guide you through the session while keeping things playful and adventurous, helping kids open up and be themselves. Before you know it, you're simply wrapped up in the laughter, the connection, and the kind of moments you'll want to hold onto forever.

Family Portraits
-The Heiers
"She knows the perfect angles and captures so many beautiful and natural moments. She made our two year old son feel at ease and was so good at getting him to smile"
Lindsay & Caleb
Kelsey did SUCH an amazing job with our family photos! She made the entire experience easy and comfortable.

10/10 recommend Kelsey Bellows photography! Not only does she create stunning images, they are returned quickly, and she makes your session so comfortable!
With over 10 years of experience photographing children in Central MN, I’ve learned the key is flexibility and fun. Whether it’s turning a session into a nature-adventure, hunting for butterflies or cool rocks, or singing and dancing to bring out a smile, I meet each child where they’re at. Some kids shine with attention, others prefer me to blend into the background—and that’s perfectly fine. My style blends candid moments with classic portraits, always aiming to capture your child’s unique personality.
