KELLY DONETH

PHOTOGRAPHY

I’m Kelly Doneth, owner/photographer 

HOW I STARTED

I’m a Michigan girl, born and raised and I adore the beautiful backdrop of our state! I have lived in Plymouth with my family for 20 years. Outside of my lovely hometown, Chicago is my second love! It’s so full of life, diversity, and the dining and shopping are fantastic! 

After having kids of my own, I began taking photos of them just like everyone else. After seeing my own personal photos, friends began asking me to take pictures of THEIR children…and so it began! After training in Chicago, I became inspired. I developed a passion for artistic photography and decided to pursue it as a full-time career.

AS A PHOTOGRAPHER

NATURAL, BRIGHT, & MODERN

CONNECTING WITH YOU

My boutique-style photography business has been allowing me to capture significant life moments for my clients for over a decade. When asked to describe my photography style, my clients describe it as natural, bright, and airy. I am drawn to vibrant color and aim for a modern look with a candid feel.

My goal is connecting with my clients. I want to develop a sense of their own personal style and preferences, while establishing trust in my process for understanding their vision. I want to help you create a look that you LOVE because inner confidence will always showcase your outer beauty.

She has photographed my siblings senior pictures as well. Knowing her work is absolutely amazing, I knew I wanted her to do my senior pictures too. Following her on Instagram before my shoot with her made me really excited to see how my pictures would turn out!

"MY FAMILY HAS USED KELLY FOR YEARS."

A lot of my friends who booked with Kelly this year said the service was nice because you could change your hairstyle in the middle of the shoot or change the color of your blush and lipstick. The hair and makeup artist, Megan, did such a good job with everything. With both Kelly and Megan, I felt like a real model! They were constantly complimenting me and made the whole experience feel so special.
