I’m Kelly Doneth, owner/photographer
Hi, I’m Kelly Doneth, a Michigan native and proud resident of Plymouth for 20 years. I adore the beautiful backdrop of our state and love spending time with my family. Outside of my lovely hometown, Chicago is my second love—it’s full of life, diversity, and fantastic dining and shopping! My journey into photography began with capturing moments of my own children, just like so many parents do. Friends soon started asking me to photograph their families, and after training in Chicago, my passion turned into a full-time career.
As the owner and photographer at Kelly Doneth Photography, I specialize in boutique senior portraits that celebrate individuality and confidence. From our first conversation to the final reveal, I’m dedicated to making your experience unforgettable. I love helping style my clients, blending current fashion trends with timeless looks to bring out your best. Wardrobe styling is one of my favorite parts of the process, ensuring you feel confident and beautiful in every shot.
In addition to senior portraits, I also offer professional corporate headshots. Whether you need a polished, modern look for your business profile or a striking image that represents your brand, I work closely with professionals to create headshots that exude confidence and authenticity.
Photography isn’t just about taking pictures—it’s about telling your story. My goal is to create a personalized experience that makes you feel valued, comfortable, and excited. I want to capture not just your outer beauty, but the essence of who you are. Let’s create something beautiful together!
