Beth did a wonderful job answering all of my questions and making sure this experience went as smooth as possible! My girlfriend and I had planned a trip to Clearwater and I wanted to make sure the proposal went perfect. Beth helped me choose a stunning location and took photos of a lifetime! She was able to catch the proposal and also took pictures of us while the sun was setting. Our friends and family agree these are the most beautiful photos:) My and my fiancee would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a talented photographer in the Clearwater area!

Beth Kelly (Beth Kelly Photography) was the photographer for our national conference and she did such a fantastic job!

As the Chair of our Public Relations/Social Media Committee we wanted to hire a professional photographer to document the meeting and give us high-quality photos to update our website. Beth Kelly did that and so much more!! She fully attended and documented the four 12+ hour days of the conference, capturing not only talks and attendee interactions but also the social events in the evening and also proposed the idea of including professional headshots for speakers, student award winners and our officers and councilors! This was a huge success, and was added bonus for those who came and gave talks, an extra special award to our student award winners who can use their new headshots on websites such as LinkedIn, and for our officers and councilors and our society as a whole because the new headshots look amazing on our website. Everyone was so thrilled with their new headshots and all of the general pictures of meeting look very professional and drastically improved our website.

Overall, Beth Kelly is extremely professional, passionate about photography and taking great-looking pictures, and also just a great person and easy to work with. She produced amazing photos for us and did it the whole time with a huge smile on her face and great energy. We look forward to working with her again in the future!

Beth took my daughter to about a half dozen different locations to shoot her senior pictures. There were a number of poses at each location and a number of wardrobe changes too. Beth clearly has a very keen eye for photography... she took hundreds of pictures and I could hardly choose between them since they were almost all fantastic. I would have been impressed on that alone, but then after the fact I asked her if she could re-post the photo gallery in a way that let a lot of Taylor's out of town relatives view the album and choose their favorites.

"It was such a pleasure photographing your daughter and getting to know her. You should be so proud of the amazing young woman she has become! Thank you for trusting me with the responsibility of representing her through photography during one of the most important times of her life!"

Beth was absolutely amazing to work with! She was easy to communicate with before the event and went out of her way to make sure that she was prepared for the shoot. She was terrific at directing everyone and making sure that she got great shots. She even went above and beyond and came early and stayed late. She was a ton of fun to work with and my photos are incredible! I will definitely be recommending her to other people. I also hope to use her again myself in the future for family portrait shots and special occasions! I can't say enough good things about the work she did, and I am so glad that I found her to capture my special day!

Beth was quick to respond after I reached out to her via her website contact link. I secured Beth as my wedding photographer after our first phone conversation. Leading up to my wedding Beth was available to me via phone calls, email, and an in person meeting. Being that my wedding was held 4 hours from where I live, email was the main way Beth and I communicated. I appreciated her down to earth personality, flexibility and positive energy. She was open to every photo suggestion I offered and gave her professional opinion on how we could make it happen.

Our wedding day photos could not have turned out better! Beth perfectly captured our special day. She took shots of my bridesmaids and I getting ready, shots of my dress&flowers, portraits of myself and husband, family photos, bridal party photos, candids, gorgeous sunset photos and so much more. She really captured it all. She made our wedding look like a fairy tale through her photography. I couldn't be happier with her service and I would highly recommend Beth Kelly Photography.

Beth has is a truly gifted photographer and takes absolutely incredible pictures. She really has an eye for the art of photography and can turn any event or photo opp into a stunning work of art.  She is also really good at helping her subjects relax and feel natural when having their photo taken, which for me personally is very important as I do not like having my picture taken!    I would highly recommend Beth to anyone looking for a great photographer.

We contacted Beth Kelly Photography for long-overdue family photos. We requested to do the photo shoot at a local park. Unfortunately, the weather did not cooperate on the first day that we scheduled...nor on the second date. However, Beth was flexible and accommodating. She worked with us (and Mother Nature) to find a date and time that met our needs. She spent a lot of time with us on several different locations throughout the park. And the best part -- the shots look terrific. The color is great, the composition is fantastic. We are actually having trouble deciding which ones to purchase -- but Beth is helping us with that as well. We'll be ordering this week and I'll update this review once we receive the prints.

As a side note, we looked at several other photographers and Beth's end product and pricing put her at the top of our list. We'll definitely be using Beth in the future.

UPDATE - We received our prints and they are fantastic!! We ordered a large format canvas, and it is absolutely gorgeous. The quality is fantastic and the color is vivid. It is exactly what I wanted and more than what I expected. Every person that comes in our house has commented on the beauty of the canvas and the shot. Beth also help me pick out three shots for a gallery wall. She did a mix between a black & white and sepia -- the color is perfect and the prints a fantastic. I recently had them framed, and now every time I round the corner and see them, it fills my heart with joy. She absolutely captured our family and gave us a precious keepsake that I know we will all treasure forever.

I already know who we are calling for future photos!

An experience totally worth sharing! Beth came to our office and individually took head shots of all our employees for our web site and marketing pieces. We also had group photo's taken and office photos as well. We could not be more pleased with the results! She took the time for lighting, placement, tuck a shirt, straighten a tie and even hair and makeup suggestion or repair. Made sure we looked the best possible for our pictures. She arrived early for our appointment and was ready to go right on time. She is a true professional! I highly recommend her and will use her again (which will actually be our 3rd time) when new photo's are needed.

Considering it was at the beach and our daughter is very active with the wiggles, it went very well.  We definitely came out of the session with fantastic pictures.

I contacted Beth regarding a family photo shoot. I wanted professional shots for our Christmas cards. She was prompt at booking the session and researched a good location. She was in contact with us the morning of the shoot to make certain that the weather would be acceptable for our little one. The photo shoot included my husband, 2-year-old daughter, and myself. Beth was extremely patient with us during the shoot. In fact, I believe we booked a one hour session but she didn't rush us at all and was agreeable to two outfit changes. She was very patient with our daughter and recommended fun poses that weren't too staged. She was courteous, professional, prompt, and fun. I'm very pleased with the pictures and she delivered them to me within ~7-10 days of the shoot.

Fantastic - puts you at ease and works to get great shots - several selections, it was great to have so many to pick from. 

Very professional, experienced and prepared for the session - however, was able to be flexible too and do things on-the-fly as the opportunity and setting presented itself.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

Beth is AMAZING!  I found her here on Angie's List and was NOT disappointed!  Beth arrived at the Temple and was set up and ready to go before we even got there (9:15am)  I would have never known that she had not shot a Bar Mitzvah before.  She was extremely attentive to our needs.  She was creative in the kinds of shots she took and knew how to get us to look great and have natural smiles.  She was so easy to work with and did anything we wanted.  She even had some great ideas of her own that she know would look great.  I have just started to look at the finished products and am so happy.  Beth puts a wonderful creative touch to her pictures and this makes them beautiful and unique.  I cannot wait to get my finished album.  If you want a photographer who is fun, outgoing and very talented in what she does then Beth is your girl.  I will be using Beth again for any photography needs I have!

I am a Headhunter professionally, but have never had a professional Headshot taken of me for use in social and business networking media.  I recently found Beth Kelly's website which was exceptional and triggered me calling Beth to make an appointment for a photo shoot.  She suggested meeting in downtown Dunedin, FL, a quaint little community on Florida's beautiful Gulf coast.  What an enjoyable experience!  Beth photographed me in various poses at various spots around the city; probably over 60 shots.  She is great at getting you relaxed and finding creative backgrounds that make the shots interesting and complementary.  Not only is Beth a great photographer, she makes it a fun experience as well.
