People Watcher | Animal Lover | Poet

Kelly’s journey with 7 to 1 Photography is story of passion, creativity, and versatility. She made the bold decision to leave her secure administrative career at a Perth university in 2014 to pursue her love of photography full-time. This shift marked the beginning of a journey where Kelly would not only capture moments but also build a thriving business.

Starting out with a focus on animal and family photography, Kelly quickly expanded her offerings to include events, branding, content creation, and image library work. Over the years, she also worked as a freelance photographer for the Community Newspaper Group, which helped her diversify her skills even more.

Today, Kelly is recognised as one of Perth’s most versatile photographers. Her portfolio spans a wide range of subjects, from dynamic event photography to capturing cherished family moments, and creating high-quality content for various clients including government organisations, not-for-profits, and corporate businesses. No matter the project, Kelly brings a unique touch to every photo she takes.

A key part of Kelly’s success is her collaboration with her wife, Sam, who serves as the animal wrangler for 7 to 1 Photography. With a background in dog training and five dogs of their own, Kelly & Sam ensure that every family and pet photoshoot goes off without a hitch, creating a fun and seamless experience for the clients.

Kelly’s photography is also deeply influenced by her background as a published poet, with two poetry collections to her name. She sees her photos as “visual poems,” bringing an artistic and emotional depth to her work that’s truly one of a kind.

When it comes to big events or projects that require extra hands, Kelly is more than happy to collaborate with others, ensuring that each client gets the best possible experience. Her flexibility and willingness to adapt make her a go-to photographer for any occasion.
