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.

"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.
