MEET THE ARTIST
New York based wedding & portrait photographer
I believe the most meaningful photos aren’t just beautiful — they’re full of feeling. I’m Kelsee, a photographer with a deep love for connection, emotion, and the quiet, fleeting moments that become lifelong memories. As a mom, I’ve learned how fast time passes and how much value lives in the details — a tiny hand in yours, the way they laugh, the way you look at each other when no one’s watching. With a calm, grounded presence and a heart-led approach, I help you slow down and be fully present, so your photos reflect not just how it looked… but how it felt.

the heart and why
The heart behind this work didn’t start with a camera — it started with my family. The big milestones, yes, but also the little in-between moments that feel so ordinary… until you realize they’re everything. The way my girls laugh together in the hallway. The bedtime snuggles. The way my husband looks at our daughters like he’s the luckiest man in the world. These are the moments that shape a life, and they’re the ones I never want to forget.
That’s what drives my work. Photography, to me, is a way of holding on. It’s how I slow down time — for myself, and for the people I get to serve. As a mama, a wife, and someone who feels deeply, I know how important it is to feel safe in front of the camera. To trust that someone is paying attention to what matters most to you. That’s what I bring into every session.
Kelsee Risler Photography is rooted in presence, empathy, and emotional storytelling. The goal isn’t just to give you beautiful images — it’s to preserve the soul of the moment, so that years from now, you can remember exactly how it felt.
A GLIMPSE INTO the
KRP EXPERIENCE
Before I was a photographer, I was a nurse — which taught me to slow down and cherish the little moments. Whether it’s a full wedding timeline or a toddler mid-meltdown, I’m calm, focused, and fully in your corner. I’m here to guide you, hold space for you, and help you relax into the experience while I capture it as it truly felt.
Calm in the Chaos
To me, photography is about more than just the image. It’s about preserving how it felt. I want you to open your gallery years from now and remember the way your partner looked at you, the way your baby curled into your chest, the joy, the stillness, the emotion. These are the moments worth holding onto. This is what I love most about what I do.
Photos That Feel
You’re not just hiring someone to take photos — you’re inviting someone into the most meaningful moments of your life. Yes...I’ll be there with my camera. But I’ll also be there fixing your dress, calming nerves, guiding gently, and holding space for every emotion. You deserve more than beautiful photos. You deserve to feel cared for, supported, and truly seen.
