WELCOME TO ABIDING FAITH PHOTOGRAPHY, PORTRAITS WITH PURPOSE, FAITH, HEART, & FOCUS

Hi, I’m Kelly the heart behind Abiding Faith Photography.

I’m a wife, a mom, a Christian, and a lover of all things creative. What started as a photography business has grown into something much more meaningful than I ever imagined.

Over the years, photography has given me the opportunity to meet incredible families and capture some of life’s most important moments. But along the way, I realized that my passion wasn’t simply taking beautiful photographs—it was using creativity to serve people, encourage families, and make others feel seen.

That realization is what led to the heart behind Portraits with Purpose.

Portraits With Purpose

Portraits with Purpose is our commitment to providing free portrait experiences for special needs individuals and families.

I believe every family deserves to have beautiful photographs that celebrate who they are—not what challenges they may face. For families navigating appointments, therapies, diagnoses, accessibility challenges, and the everyday demands of special needs life, having someone say, “You matter. Your story matters. You deserve to be celebrated,” can mean so much.

These sessions aren't simply about creating pictures.

They're about creating memories, dignity, connection, encouragement, and representation.

My dream is to continue growing Portraits with Purpose so that we can reach more families, provide more free sessions, and build a community where every individual feels valued and included.

And Now, We're Growing

As this vision has grown, so has what we do.

Wonderfully Made is becoming a place where photography and creativity come together with faith, inclusion, and purpose.

Through Wonderfully Made: The Shop™, we'll offer thoughtfully created products, sensory resources, encouragement items, creative activities, and other meaningful goods that support the heart of our mission.

We're also working toward creating inclusive art experiences and creative classes where individuals of all abilities can explore their creativity, build confidence, experience movement and sensory play, and simply have fun creating.

And because I believe families need more than just photographs, we're continuing to explore ways to provide encouragement, resources, community events, advocacy, and opportunities for families to connect.

Everything may look a little different than it did when I first picked up my camera—but the heart behind it hasn't changed.

I want people to know they are seen.

I want families to know they aren't alone.

I want individuals to know they are capable.

And I want every person who encounters this community to be reminded that they are wonderfully made.

My faith is the foundation of all of this. I believe God has given each of us unique gifts, stories, and purpose, and I want to use the gifts He's given me to serve others.

So whether you find us through photography, the shop, an art class, a sensory resource, a community event, or simply by following along—

welcome.

I'm so glad you're here.

This is Wonderfully Made.

And this is Portraits with Purpose™.
