I started working with Beth back in 2001 when I first moved to NYC. She did my headshots that helped me book my first show. I have continued to work with her over the years. She recently took beautiful pictures of my 98 year old grandmother while in Florida. What makes Beth so great is that she makes you feel so comfortable. Smiling for a photographer can feel awkward and unnatural.
She helps you get rid of that feeling right away. She has an eye to capture you at your most beautiful and natural self. She is a treasure to work with and I highly recommend her and her work.

Beth has been photographing my family for the last eight years. She has captured our family milestones- birthdays, weddings, and graduations. During the pandemic summer of 2020, Beth offered free porch portrait sessions to my neighbors and me- as simple enough gesture, but we loved how it gave us something fun to look forward to as everything was shut down.
Her senior portraits of our daughters are unique, capturing their personalities in photos. She coordinates the best locations bring our family to life in her photography. As we have upcoming grandbabies and college graduations, I'm looking forward to more photo sessions with Beth!

Beth was great from our first conversation. Beth was personable and listened to my thoughts on what type of photos I wanted for my wedding. On my wedding day, she was punctual and had a vision of the type of photos she was going to shoot. Our wedding party and guests were a little mischievous with photo bombing and other antics but Beth found a way to work everything in. I've received a few fabulous photos a couple of hours after the event and is anxiously awaiting the rest. I know they will be fabulous!

Beth is an absolute delight to have as your photographer. She did my son's engagement portraits and they are just beautiful. They capture the love and essence of him and his lovely fiance. Beth has years of experience and masterful skills not only with technique but with her ability to connect with people of all walks of life. It is in that connection that enables her to really capture the true portrait. Beth puts a great deal of thought and planning into the location for the portrait that matches with the event highlighting true artistry in her work. Beth is genuine, passionate, kind and wonderful to work with. I will be having Beth do my youngest son's senior portraits next!

Beth Kelly is the most professional photographer, I have met. She has been shooting my events for the past 7 years, from business venues to my personal family events and portraits. Beth has an amazing eye and captures the moment. My last event "Party Pirates on the Rocks Inc. 2021 Clearwater Invasion" was photographed by Beth at my request and she nailed it.
She captured the Pirates invading and did wonderful group shots. Beth just has a knack and understanding of what you as a customer are looking for. I explained that I needed over all shots for the City of Clearwater to review and she went out of her way to make sure I got what I requested. Thank You BETH!

My husband and I live out of state and were planning our dream wedding with just the two of us on the beach an Ordained Minister and a Photographer. When we were referred to Beth Kelly we had NO idea that we would be receiving more than just that! Beth went above and beyond what we would have ever expected anyone to do for a client. The connections made between her self, my husband, and I will last a lifetime.
Living out of state, we felt almost "helpless", despite doing our own research. The state laws were confusing we wanted to make sure that we had a trust worthy, legal marriage. Beth, without hesitation jumped right in! After communication with her for weeks prior to our Fairytale Wedding/Honeymoon, Beth proved to go above and beyond making extra phone calls finding us all of the exact information we needed, as well as finding us our perfect match to marry us! Beth also as you can see from her photos is an artist.
Her creative mind does not stop. She and I kept in constant communication bouncing photo ideas back and forth to make this dream day so much more memorable. From our very first conversation, we knew that she was the one that we trusted to take our wedding photos. Her energy, bubbly personality, and generous heart we are SO THANKFUL for- Beth is a hardworking, top-performing customer service professional.
She will always have our highest recommendations and a special place in our hearts. We are looking forward to celebrating our one year anniversary in Clearwater with renewal of our vows and Photography from Beth Kelly~ She is a treasured gift. Marla & Vern Price 2021

I used Beth for my daughters Bat Mitzvah. I found her to be easy to work with, professional, and her photography was exactly what I was looking for. Beth did my professional pictures, pictures of the service and used a photojournalist style for the party. If you are looking for a great photographer at a fair price, look no further.
