Clients reviews about Kelley Hoagland Photography

Kelley and I met years ago which lead me to keep up with her photography from the beginning. The more I watched, the more I saw how her fun and bright personality translated into what she choose to capture through her photography. The way she is able to capture smiles, raw emotions, and the little moments is exactly why I asked her to capture my wedding day. She was such a great hype woman the entire day and my bridesmaids couldn’t stop talking about how much fun she added to the normally nerve racking day. With the final product in hand, I can now say I made the perfect choice for my wedding photographer. I was extremely pleased with how personal our wedding photos turned out and how she captured moments I didn’t even know she was watching! ~ Hannah F

We cannot say enough wonderful things about working with Kelley and the beautiful photos she gave us! Kelley was always so friendly, attentive, and was able to help us find the vision for our wedding day! She was always one text away, punctual, so fast to respond and give us everything we want! She even helped us adjust our schedule so we could fit in time to take some fun photos in the West Village away from the venue before our wedding (and be back on time for the ceremony). She also accommodated us when we wanted to have our darling dog in our photos! Our pictures were always edited beautifully and so quickly! Which is so valuable when you're so excited to see the results! We can't get over our photos and how beautifully Kelley captured our day! Would recommend her 1000%! ~ Alexandra K

My family and I decided to take a vacation to Lookout Mountain and we wanted to have professional family photos taken, I found Kelley on google and so happy I did! She was not only very responsive but so friendly it felt like I had known her for years! She came to our rental property and took the most amazing photos. Her price is super reasonable and her work is amazing! So happy to have met her and able to work with her. I’d recommend her to anyone and if she lived in Michigan I’d use her for all my photo needs! ~ Dayna S

Kelley is a magician!!! She is truly so gifted in photography and also has a precious demeanor with kids. I always try to have realistic expectations for my 4 kids 5 and under and she always blows it out of the park! She is calm, collected, able to direct and instruct us so we are flattered and smiling! Every photo session we’ve had with Kelley has been relaxed and I’m always amazed she can capture our wild kids so beautifully! She does a fantastic job catching their personalities too. Forever grateful for her talent! ~ Jessica W

Kelley has photographed our growing family several times, and I have loved our images. She is engaging with children and puts us all at ease, making the process happy and fun. She is creative and knows how to direct our active crew so she can capture the best poses. I appreciate that she wants to know what the client is looking for in a photography session, and does her best to get the shots, poses that I wanted. Kelley is easy to work with and I treasure the beautiful pictures she has taken! Highly recommend!! ~ Ivey I

We did a heirloom session with Kelley and she was so patient with my six month old and three year old. My three year old is typically very shy and having never met Kelley prior to the session I just knew it would be difficult getting her to smile. It was the total opposite. Kelley made my daughter feel comfortable enough to be herself! She used her “magic wand” to make my daughter fell like a princess and because of that we got the best results for she and my son. ~ Molly B

Our family used Kelley for maternity photos. Literally every detail she thought of to make it perfect. She helped with location and working around our crazy schedule, she helped pick out outfits, and she really listened to the questionnaire I filled out. She took her time and it never felt rushed and everyone just felt so comfortable. All of her time and effort led to the most beautiful pictures that I’ll cherish forever. I can’t wait to use her again! Thank you a million Kelley!! ~ Taylor H

Kelly is truly exceptional at capturing timeless images of your family. She worked closely with me to bring my vision to life, and her communication, professionalism, and warm, friendly spirit made our shoot an absolute pleasure. I was amazed by her ability to connect with our one-year-old and photograph her so beautifully. I highly recommend Kelly for your next family photo session—her work is simply stunning! ~ Erika K

Kelley is so friendly and so fun to work with! She is very creative ,and always has the best interest in mind for her clients. She is very thoughtful and intentional when it comes to colors , lighting and scenery. I have always felt so beautiful and natural in front of the camera when shooting with her. She has such an amazing gift for photography. your session will be filled with lots of fun & laughter! 🤍✨ ~ Lily S

Kelley did pictures for our extended family and knocked it out of the park! It’s quite the challenge getting that many people to all look great in a single photo, and we had lots of favorites to choose from. Not to mention that my 2 kids (3yrs and 18months) loved her! She was able to get genuine smiles from them and really captured their personalities, which means the world to me! Look no further for your next Chattanooga photographer! ~ Lindsey M

I just met Kelley but it feels like I have known her my entire life. My two toddlers (boys) just had some heirloom portraits done and Kelley was great! Her work is so exquisite. She had so much patience with them and the boys felt comfortable with her from the beginning. The whole process was so easy. She answered all my questions and made sure I was happy with the results. Overall, she is such a sweet person and I highly recommend her! ~ evelin p

We have been fortunate to have two family sessions with Kelley and have been so happy with the memories she captured for us. Kelley is so fun to work with, patient,and pulled out all the tricks to keep our girls entertained. She does not make you feel rushed and discusses with you ahead of time what types of pictures you want from the session. We are thankful for her talent and look forward to another session down the road! ~ Lindsey H

Kelley has photographed my family multiple times and she is amazing!! She is so personable, professional, and so good with kids. She has done an excellent job capturing the smiles and personality of my toddler. I am so thankful to have these pictures to look back on at every age. I cannot recommend her enough, you are guaranteed to have a great experience and beautiful photos! ~ Jillian J

Kelley was so professional and easy to work with. We took family pictures with 3 different generations and multiple combinations. She picked great locations and made everyone feel at ease (especially the young children). We were very happy with the finished product and Kelly was able to get us final edited images within a week of the shoot. All in all, a very positive experience. ~ Tripp J

Kelley is simply the best. She has taken our family photos for a couples years. I have three small children, and I don’t know how she does it, but she is able to capture them perfectly through their squirminess. We have been very please each time. She is very professional and gives great advise throughout the session as far as posing to hep get the best pictures possible. ~ Laney S

Kelley is fantastic! We signed up for a family mini-session and my husband had to go out of town last minute and she was so kind to accommodate us into her schedule on another day! We are so grateful for that because our pictures turned out so perfect!!! The shoot felt super relaxed and so natural. I am definitely going to continue to use Kelley for future photo sessions! She's the best! ~ Breanne B

I couldn’t recommend Kelley enough if you are looking for a photographer! Kelley photographed products for my business and was beyond happy with the results! The whole process was easy and smooth! I received the finished gallery back less than a week which is amazing. I have worked with different photographers in the past but Kelley definitely went above and beyond! ~ Michelle M

We’ve had several family photo sessions with Kelley and we highly recommend her to everyone in Chattanooga! This year, she has done both maternity and newborn photography for us and has given us beautiful pictures every time. She gives great direction to kids and adults both and is especially great and getting kids to relax and have fun! ~ Clara C

I cannot say enough good things about Kelley and her photography. She is so warm and friendly which puts the whole family at ease. My children, who are 4 and 6, responded very well to her. The photographs are just stunning and are truly a gift we will treasure for years to come. She is incredibly talented and I highly recommend her! ~ Karen F

Kelley is AMAZING! My 5 & 6 year old boys are in a rowdy stage to say the least. Kelley knew exactly how to talk to them and get them to sit still. She’s a child whisperer! I was three weeks postpartum and not necessarily feeling the cutest but Kelley made me feel great and the pictures turned out beautifully! ~ Grace R

Our office staff had group photos for our website and Kelley was so helpful in making sure we had the perfect poses and group photos we needed to make our website great! Kelley was even willing to help muster the weather and came up with a quick off the hip location to keep our photo session for the day instead of rescheduling! ~ Chasity D

I utilized Kelley for branding for my new business - as her style aligned with what I envisioned! Kelley was so responsive when I initially reached out and quick to answer questions for me. Very organized, and SO timely with getting my photos back. She is so talented, sweet, and exactly what I was looking for! Highly recommend. ~ Gracie D

Kelley was so great at our newborn session! She made us feel comfortable in front of the camera and was able to position our little one just perfectly for the photos! The photos turned out bright and beautiful which was the look we were going for! I would highly recommend Kelley for your photography needs! ~ Christina D

Kelley is a true professional and very skilled in her craft. We loved our maternity/family photo session with her. She is sensitive to the needs of all involved, especially children, making everyone feel comfortable and at ease in order to capture truly sweet moments. We've already booked her for a future photo session! ~ Erica O
