In 2018 Kelsey purchased a cheap 35mm film camera off eBay looking to explore a new creative outlet. What started as playful documentation of day-to-day life and a mental break from computer science classes, quickly bloomed into an obsession with film as a creative medium.
After moving to Nashville in 2021, Kelsey was inspired by the local creative community to not just take pictures, but to create art. Whether photographing a concert, shooting a music video, or taking portraits, she aims to capture community, queer joy, and trans beauty.
In Spring 2025 Kelsey shot a series with Butch Roots Nashville's project The Masc Manifesto. This project documents the queer and trans community in Nashville and culminated with Kelsey’s first show in the Re:Form Elephant Gallery.
In 2026 she moved to Los Angeles to pursue photography full time.
