I grew up in the wild beauty of Alaska, where nature taught me to slow down and cherish what matters most. That same love for light, connection, and creation inspires everything I photograph. When I’m not behind the camera, I’m immersed in motherhood, my garden, and my studies—grateful for the simple, fleeting moments that shape life. During the stillness of the pandemic, Waywind was born. Today my work thrives in natural light, open air, and the sacred spaces God created. It’s an honor to capture your story within that beauty. 

​

I know how meaningful this moment is- and how nervous you might feel. That's why my mission is to help you feel at ease and completely yourself. Whether you're exchanging vows in a cozy backyard, eloping on a mountaintop, marking milestones for your senior, or documenting memories of the family along the way... I'll be there, camera in hand, fully present- so you don't have to miss the moment. ​

​

My mission? To listen deeply, relieve the pressure of planning, create a space where you feel fully seen and held through every step of your session, and curate art that showcases you and your beautiful life along the way. Whether we're staying local or adventuring far, we're telling your story- together. 
Thanks for being here. I can't wait to meet you!

​

​With love, 

Kellie
