My work is rooted in joy—the kind found in sandy paws, windblown hair, spontaneous laughter, and the gentle presence of a dog (or two) who never leaves your side.

I’m Kelcy—a lifestyle photographer based on California’s Central Coast, inspired by sweeping landscapes, candid moments, and the quiet magic of life with dogs.

My love for photography began with a roll of film and a dog. Growing up in Kansas, I’d spend hours wandering with a point-and-shoot camera, capturing open skies, rolling fields, and the steady presence of our family dog—who naturally appeared in nearly every frame.

Photography remained a constant as life evolved. When we moved to California in 2019 for my husband’s work, that passion deepened. I began documenting our travels up and down the state, partnering with brands, refining my style, and chasing golden light. I was always drawn to the in-between moments—the ones that tell the story of our lives.

In 2025, we settled in Paso Robles, and I felt called to turn this lifelong love into something more. These days, you’ll find me exploring the Central Coast with my two dogs, Bodhi and Khalee—chasing sunsets, finding stillness, and soaking in the beauty of the life we’ve built.
