  • Welcome to Kelly Braman Photography

Oh, sweet Madi! This young lady has such a heart for Jesus! I have never known someone at such a young age who acted on her gift of service like Madi. Her mama, Jenny and her sister Bree have been doing service projects since the girls were itty bitty. Talk about Big Hearts for others…these little ladies are such a blessing to others! I have no doubt Madi will continue to do good for God as she grows into the woman He wants her to be! She talks about adopting from foreign countries and helping abused children and she is only 11 years old! Can you even imagine how much love she will spread from here on out? Truly Amazing and her parents are Awesome for helping her on her path!

 

Sweet, Madi! Thank you for spending the afternoon with me! Your dad was so great to show us some great spots to shoot at and I love that your baby dog, Squeak made an appearance, as well! Keep following God! He has Big plans for you!

 

love and blessings,

Meet the Warsaw Family! I was contacted by Jenn of Modern Day Floral to photograph a B’nai Mitzvah….3 Bat Mitzvah’s together. This was my first Bat Mitzvah to photograph and I was excited to document this special occasion for the Warsaw family. The girls couldn’t be sweeter and the parents, Micheal and Debbie were so friendly along with their friends and family. They were helpful when it came to what to photograph for the actual ceremony( or mock up of) and they party was something to remember! Jenn from Modern Day plans and executes the Most Amazing Events and you will see from the imagery how much you wish you were a young child again attending this party! The night was filled with great food ( a chef on hand to prepare custom pastas and other dishes) and the kids were in heaven snacking on fries, sliders, a fabulous candy bar, ice cream sundae bar and did I mention a cotton candy machine? What?! The dance floor was jam packed the entire night and tons of prizes were handed out! Each tween received custom bags designed by the family’s aunt with socks to change into and beach towels! I told you you would want an invite to this party!

 

Warsaw family…thank you for allowing me to document this special day for you and your sweet daughters! Selena and I had an amazing time and I am so excited to share a peek of the day! Enjoy!

 

blessings,

Oh, Boy! I have been dying to share these images with you! The wedding of Jon and Janet has been in the works for many many months now! Rhi from Hey Gorgeous Events has been working around the clock bringing this couple’s wedding to life! Rhi has such a gift for this and really listened to our couple to stay true to their vision as artists all the while creating a beautiful wedding to remember! I feel honored to have been chosen to document Jon and Janet’s love and of course…how fun is it for a photog to photograph so many sweet details! Am I right?!

 

The day started at the Goldberry Bed & Breakfast. Selena and I arrived early to peek around the grounds and loved how quaint and sweet this little hidden gem was. Jon and Janet rented out the entire B&B to host their families and it was perfect! I loved meeting their families and just as Jon and Janet are so thoughtful and gracious…their families were, as well!

 

I have never blogged this many images, but good golly! Wait to you see all the goodness! Tons of details and so much love, laugher, heartfelt emotion and FUN!!!!

 

Janet and Jon. What can I say? I LOVED getting to know you both! Your sweet spirits paired with your love for each other truly shines in these images! Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your special day! I have  no doubt you will have a wonderful life together full of adventure!

Please stay in touch! Chicago is only a hop skip and a jump away!

 

love and blessings,

kellyb.
