SNEAKPEEKS are up from Alex+Ian’s wedding from yesterday 💗🥂✨

It was a true joy and delight bearing witnessing to their love story and it’s new chapter. Hearing through the toasts and beautiful ceremony (officiated by Ian’s mother💗) the history of their love, it was magical being there to see the years that brought them to this day.

Stunning, hilarious, deeply moving, so heartfelt and drenched in love and support. Ian and Alex, it was GLORIOUS.

Thank you, deeply, for having me as your photographer, Darlings!

A few fall openings just became available. 🍂
SE IOWA/Ottumwa-based

And if you’ve been thinking, We really should get family pictures this year… this is your sign. 💛

Because they’re only this little right now. Your family only looks exactly like this right now. And someday, the photographs you treasure most may not be the ones where everyone was perfectly posed—they’ll be the ones that bring you right back to who you were together in this season.

That’s what I want to capture.

The way your child fits on Dad’s shoulders. The laugh that happens when nobody is trying. The little expressions you see every day and don’t realize are already changing. And yes, we’ll create the beautiful portraits for your walls and holiday cards, too. ✨

I’ve had a few last-minute openings for fall sessions

🎃this Saturday & Sunday, October 3–4🍁

plus limited availability for:
🍁 Saturday morning, October 17
🍁 Sunday evening, October 18
🍁 A few weekday evenings

Come as you are. I’ll take care of creating something beautiful from it.

DM me to claim a session or ask questions, or visit http://KellyPattonPortraits.com for session details and pricing.

Let’s make photographs that don’t just show what your family looked like—but remind you what this part of your life felt like. ❤️

Updated weekend availability for late Sept/early OCT:

The SEEN Sessions: more than portraits; a transformation into the woman you deeply are.

Today is the last opportunity to register for the Sept/Oct cohort that culminates in an in-person retreat 10/23 in Austin, TX.

A five week guided transformation -4 weeks of online small group support and calls, the 5th week meeting for a day of embodiment, nourishment, sisterhood and portraits.

This course begins tomorrow online. If you have a resounding YES in your soul about joining us, even if you’re not sure how to fund it, DM me and we’ll figure it out. I want to see you on the other side of where you are and support you in your butterfly chapter. Let’s make it happen 🦋💗✨

Link in bio for more info on the SEEN Sessions.

Upcoming: I will be starting a 60 or 90 day small group class in the same vein as The SEEN Sessions for those looking for an online experience for support, guidance and sisterhood during this chapter of your life, this transitional period. If you’re seeking clarity on your purpose, who you are and what you want, how to show up fully in your life and stop living small and in fear, this is for you. DM me to learn more or get on the waitlist.

Models: Erin Cowles Amy Van Maanen and Eryn Munley💗✨🙏🏼

I see you in your softeness
I see you in your strength
I see you in the struggle
I see you in your soul song sung

And now you see
How you sparkle
Shine
Glow

Who you ARE
The person you are stepping into
The person who want to LIVE their life DEEPLY

There you are!

The SEEN Sessions is a 5 week transformational journey to excavate your authentic self from the layers of roles, scripts and systems you’ve adopted to survive. It culminates in an in-person retreat and photoshoot where we capture the YOU that has always been there, now brought to the forefront and ready to live! If you’re ready to transform, message me “SEEN” for more details.

If you’ve felt lost in a space of unknowingness. Who are you? What do you really want? Are you living the life you are meant to live, or someone else’s story?

SEEN SESSIONS is an invitation to come home to you.

Beginning September 25, we’ll meet weekly in a small, intimate group on Zoom to excavate the layers, question the stories, and reconnect with the woman underneath it all.

And if you want to go deeper, optional 1:1 coaching is available for an additional fee.

Then, on October 23 in Austin, TX, we’ll gather in person for a full day of nurturing, nourishment, pampering, embodiment, glow—and ultimately, a portrait experience that captures who you ARE and who you came here to BE.

Not just a beautiful photograph.

A daily reminder of the woman who knows herself, embodies her life, and lets herself sparkle.

✨ Limited to 6 women
✨ Enrollment closes 9/24

If something in you is saying yes, message me to book a free Come Home to Yourself call. We’ll talk about where you are, what you’re longing for, and whether SEEN is your next step.

You don’t need to become someone new.

You just need to remember who you are.

Model: Erin Cowels 💗

Have you been feeling a little… lost in your own life?

Like somewhere along the way, you became so many things for everyone else that you lost touch with the woman underneath it all?

The mother.
The wife.
The daughter.
The caretaker.
The capable one.

And now you’re wondering…

Who am I, really?

This is where we begin.

SEEN Sessions is an intimate experience for women ready to come back to themselves—to remember who they are beneath all the roles and expectations.

The supported prep work begins September 25th, leading us into our intimate day together on October 23rd in Austin, Texas.

✨ Six women.
✨ Four weeks of guided preparation.
✨ One powerful day together.

If something in you is stirring, stay close. I’ll be sharing more soon.

Or send me a DM if you already know you want to be one of the six.

🍂 Fall sessions are booking now! 🍂

If you’ve been thinking about updating your family photos—or you have a senior who still needs portraits—now is the time!

(❣️AVAILABLE DATES/TIMES IN THE COMMENTS❣️)

🌿 Want your senior portraits without the fall look?
I have a few upcoming dates while everything is still green and summery. This is a great time to get those senior photos done before the leaves change!

🍁 Want ALL the fall color?
I’ll have a limited number of fall family + senior portrait dates available once the trees start showing off. These will go quickly!

🖼️ And the best part? Two-week turnaround on your final edited images, so you’ll have them in plenty of time for Christmas cards, gifts, or getting something beautiful up on your walls before the holidays.

With 15+ years behind the camera and six kids of my own, I know that getting everyone together for photos can feel like a whole thing. 😂

My goal is to make it fun, relaxed, and genuinely enjoyable—and to capture the people you love exactly as they are right now.

Because this version of your family only exists for a little while. ❤️

📍 Ottumwa + surrounding Southeast Iowa
📸 Kelly Patton Portraits

Message me to book your fall or late-summer session before the dates are reserved.

✨ I’m coming back to Texas—and I’d love to see you. ✨

I’ll be in the Austin area October 22–26, opening up a limited number of portrait sessions for some of my favorite people—and hopefully a few new faces, too. 🤍

If I’ve photographed your family, your babies, your love story, your senior, or simply been lucky enough to be part of a little chapter of your life through my camera… you know how much I love these sessions.

They’re about so much more than pretty pictures. They’re about freezing a little piece of your life right now—the people you love, the way your kids are today, the connection, the laughter, the things you’ll want to remember years from now.

I’ve put together a few session options in the carousel, and I’d love to create something beautiful with you while I’m there.

And one more little invitation: if you have a friend or family member who would love a session, send them my way! Through my referral program, you’ll receive $50 toward your own session for every new client you refer who books with me. So you can bring someone you love along and earn a little toward your own photographs. ✨

If you’re interested in a session—or you have someone you’d love to send my way—send me a message! I’ll share the details, answer any questions, and help you reserve your spot.

I cannot wait to see some familiar faces again. 💗

October 22–26 | Austin area | Limited sessions available
