Kelly is from New Jersey, but her wanderlust heart led her study abroad in Australia during her undergraduate college days then over to London to pursue a graduate degree in Event Marketing Management. After graduation, she moved back across the pond to NYC, where she spent the next years working in the Events Industry. During that time, her passion of photography began to take over, and once deciding to call Charleston her home with her husband (see above) & pup (see below!), she created her own photography brand and online shop.
Now, she's also able to combine her love of events and photography and share those with the CTC community!
