Welcome to our brand-spankin'-new Blog-Site!


So glad you're here!

I’m Kelly Heasley. I am a photographer and a philosopher, a builder and an architect. I think everything is beautiful. I’m an Ohioan, born and raised, much to the disdain of my West Virginian husband, Garth (who is not my cousin). Go Bucks. I’m 26. I love music. I love to make music. I love Jesus, and I still sleep with the bear my dad gave me when I was 5.

Smile! I want to take your picture! I want to give you the gift of remembrance, and I want it to sparkle like a jewel in your hand. I want to capture you just the way you are so that when your children, your parents, your best friends look back, they will see how precious you've always been and just how amazing you've become.

With that, I invite you to explore the site. Look at these images, close your eyes and remember love, and when you take that second look, soak it up...

Talia + Adam : Married!

Remember Talia + Adam?

Talia + Adam Wedding(208 of 415)

When the doors swung open and Talia stepped through the chapel doors, a wave of emotion radiated from her and swept over all who gathered there to witness and support the commitment she was about to make to her best friend and hero. When that wave finally rushed over Adam, the calm and reverence and sheer joy he felt were sweetly palpable. His future was walking toward him, and with every step, she was becoming more and more HIS.  It’s a wonder that Miss Talia didn’t break out in a run to meet him.

On May 30th, 2009, under the arches and stained glass of the Ohio Historical Village Chapel, Talia and Adam joined their lives together eternally. These images capture the first glimpse of the amazing life that now stretches out in front of them.

I See Your True Colors, and That’s Why I Love You.

I’m obsessed with this fun little test that tells you how well you differentiate between slightly different hues!

Use those cones, ladies (and gentlemen)! That is, the cones in your eyeballs that help you see color. Here’s a fun little fact, I see WAY more yellow out of my left eye. The same color will have a much warmer feel to it if I look only out of my left eye, and a much cooler look if I see it out of my right eye. Still, I scored an 8 on the hue test – can you beat me?

An amazing day.

I just wanted to write a quick note to say what an amazing blessing it is to do what I do. I just witnessed the most reverent and fervent vows followed by the most outrageous and just plain FUN party! Lindsay and Jordan, I love you, and I don’t say that lightly. Love follows you around like a puppy, darting between your feet and jumping up on you with muddy paws. But you just smile, look up at each other and keep on walking into the sunset. Thank you for the gift you gave me today. I hope we all never forget what real love looks like.

P.S. Pictures coming soon. ;) Hold your horses -I JUST walked in the door!

I can’t help but be really really ridiculously good looking.

It’s not that I hate long hair; it’s just that I WON’T style it. A lifetime of experience tells me that I will wake up, take a shower, throw some goo in it and go. Long hair is wonderful and beautiful on other people. On me, it goes unbrushed. I am not a good steward of long hair. So my favorite hair-stylist-person Jaime (Charles Penzone Dublin – GO SEE HER) cut it off for me.
