Photography by Kelsy bio picture
  • let’s get together.

    hello + welcome!

    i'm kelsy mccartney, one half of the duo that is {the mccartneys} photography. photography is one of my strongest passions and i am so excited to share this with you!

    the shots i love most capture originality + joy in moments. i enjoy relating to my subjects and strive to get the kind of pictures they're after, delivering images that are beautiful + honest + romantic. celebrations with you + your loved ones are times to treasure, and any images that represent these gatherings should reflect the joy you create together. let me show you these moments.

    have i mentioned that weddings + engagements are my absolute favorite? tied with this is portraiture of families, high school seniors + newborns. yes, i realize this covers the entire spectrum of life, but i just can't help it. i see beauty in each opportunity to photograph love in every form possible. there is truly nothing better than enjoying every aspect of your job, and i can't wait to share my passion with you!

    i look forward to working with you + can't wait to hear from you!

    best,

    kelsy mccartney

hudson at 50mm | wisconsin photography

while i was driving back to woodbury after spending a week in my hometown of wausau wisconsin, i had a sudden urge to take a pit-stop for a photography walk with our newest lens, which i am madly in love with. here is what my walk through downtown hudson looked like!

i just love cute little downtowns!

Amy - I love Hudson!!! My favorite chocolate covered cherries are there at Kottke’s I think is what they are called!! They have milk chocolate and dark chocolate covered and some have carmel inside too!!! Ph HEAVEN!!
