Stillwater, Minnesota Portrait Photographer

meet chris

Hi, my name is Chris Kelly-Stewart, wife and mother of 2. I love photography and telling a story with images. My passion is capturing weddings, high school seniors and families.

My dad was my favorite person and we lost him in August of 2017, he taught us many things in his 86 years here on earth. He was a wonderful storyteller, he could observe the most ordinary daily occurrence and turn it into the most delightful, detailed story. That is really how I see photography, taking those daily moments making them something that is joyful to save, cherish and tell the story of the day.

I am the mother of 2 beautiful daughters who have grown into amazing young women. Photographing them started me on this journey that has flourished into many years and many friendships. My husband of 28 years is silly and sweet, and many times you’ll find him helping out on a shoot and truly enjoying meeting my clients... and maybe even practicing the fine art of storytelling! ;)
