Hi, I'm Kelly

Photography has become so much more than a business to me—it's my creative outlet and my way of preserving the moments that matter most. Whether I'm capturing a family laughing together on the beach, a breathtaking Maine sunrise, or the quiet beauty of nature, my goal is always the same: to create images that you'll treasure for years to come.

I call Old Orchard Beach home and have lived here for the past five years. Before launching Merlin's Media, I worked for the Old Orchard Beach Chamber of Commerce, where I had the opportunity to connect with so many wonderful local businesses and become deeply rooted in this incredible community. Today, I continue to work full-time as a Sales and Customer Service Associate for a local nonprofit furniture company, and I truly love what I do. Helping people has always been at the heart of my career, whether it's finding the perfect piece of furniture or capturing life's most meaningful memories through my camera.

When I'm not working, you'll usually find me exploring the Maine coast with my camera, spending time with my boyfriend, or hanging out with my sidekick Rick.

Building this business has been a dream of mine, and every session is an opportunity to meet new people, tell their story, and create photographs they'll look back on with a smile. I'm grateful for every client who trusts me to capture a piece of their life, and I can't wait to help tell yours.

The Story Behind the Name

Merlin’s Media is named after my beloved cat, Merlin, who was a very special part of my life for many years. He was with me through so many different chapters, from my college years to building a life here in Maine. He was more than just a pet; he was family, a constant companion, and a part of so many of my favorite memories.
