Whether it's moments after the rain, when a rainbow fills the sky, or nights spent with her family gazing at the stars, or observing a tiny butterfly or bee perched delicately on a flower, these moments have always touched her heart.
She was just 10 years old when given her very first camera, which marked the beginning of her photographic journey to capture every moment presented before her wide-open eyes.
For years, she photographed her pets, her family, flowers, the quirky things she found around her home and the stunning ocean views from where she grew up in Portland.
Yet, little did she know at that time, photography would become her career and would lead her to capture the underwater world of the Great Barrier Reef in her early 20s.
Throughout schooling, Kelly excelled in visual art photography and after finishing Year 12, studied photographic journalism.
Her photography career spans over two decades, during which she has travelled extensively throughout Australia and New Zealand, capturing not only the natural wonders of the world but also the journeys of people and their lives.
Today she works full-time as a photographer and journalist in Shepparton and continues to capture the elements of the world and people in all their majesty.
It’s a career that continues to deeply resonate with her spirit, and her fine art photographic work is thought-provoking, magical and colourful.
Each photograph tells a story of the incredible beauty she has witnessed and skilfully captured.
Through her lens, she invites us to see the world as she does —full of wonder and awe-inspiring moments.
