Just For Fun
I've always been a creator.
When I was younger I'd make PowerPoint presentations with my top dinner ideas for my parents to choose from. In middle school, I'd spend my Sunday mornings at home taking family breakfast orders from my custom-designed "Kelley's Kitchen" menus (the 'Ham & Scram' was the most popular). Over the years I've been asked to photoshop ex-boyfriends out of friends' family photos, write poetry for the student paper, and make highlight reels for my rugby teammates.
Here are a few of my creative content projects from over the years.
My First Self-Portrait.

ROC Sports Photography
In 2021, I launched Roc Sports Photography, a boutique sports photography business.
Since starting I've been hired for soccer, hockey, basketball, rugby, and baseball games at the high school, collegiate, and adult levels.

On-Camera Talent

Headshot Photography
Upon learning that our entire company had been laid off, I decided I wanted to help out my teammates in any way possible. I reviewed and edited resumes for them, sent along job postings that reminded me of them, and on our last day in the office together I brought my camera in and took free headshots for anyone looking for a new one.

Wedding Signage
I used my design sense to save some money on signs by creating custom ones for my wedding and for my best friend's wedding (< great movie by the way).
Of course, I had to find a way to incorporate my beloved Goldendoodle Sydney into our special day.
