Breeden Girls

Miss A is just adorable and I had a ball playing with her that afternoon.


Miss A and M are so cute and were a joy to work with. I look forward to doing a session with the whole family.

Holiday Portraits

What a beautiful family! Thank you, Lisa, Rich, Virginia and Jaxon for allowing me to take your holiday portrait this season.

Bath time

Ty loves to have his picture taken just as much as I love taking his picture. His smile really warms my heart.

Wordless Wednesday - Sunrise

Sunrise sunday morning at the Massanutten Resort on a girls getaway weekend. I just couldn't resist. "Canon" and I had a picture extravaganza up there! I took so many pictures I'm still editing :-)

Determination at its best!

Tyus just loves basketball. He works so hard to get the ball into the net. when he makes it, his expression is priceless!

Happy Sweet 16

Happy Sweet 16 Averi! I want to thank my spelman sister Paula for giving me the opportunity to photograph her daughter on her 16th birthday. I couldn't help to reflect on my own sweet 16 (hmmm, a few years ago :-) and what an exciting time full of memories.

Thank you Averi and Paula for allowing me to share in your special day.

First Shoot

I'm truly grateful for friends who have given me the opportunity to photograph their children and share the pictures with you all. Please be gentle with comments, its my first shoot!

family introductions

Here are my guys...Lee, jr., our oldest is 14, a true teen.

Julian, age 10 (soon to be 11, in a few weeks), he's always been the one who takes it all in.

Tyus is 5, we are joined at the hip...well atleast until sept. when school starts.

We are truly blessed to have healthy and happy children. We have a busy household and there's always something going on, but it keeps life fun and my camera is managing to keep up.

Welcome to KT Photography, Behind the Lens

Welcome to Kelli Tyus Photography's, Behind The Lens Blog.

I'm a self-taught, passionate photographer. I fell in love with photography soon after my first son was born. I knew I wanted to capture every precious moment of his life. I went so far as to send a disposable camera in the diaper bag with him to daycare. It was my plan not to miss a moment. I love taking pictures and as our family grew so did my passion for photography. I'm a wife, mother to three handsome sons, daughter, sister, aunt and friend, I try not to miss an opportunity to capture everyone I meet doing something fun...well, at least I think its fun. With all those precious photos I've created wonderful keepsake scrapbooks.

KT Photography, came to life after the nickname given to me by my husband as the "paparazzi" I'm always the one behind the camera.

My goal with this blog is to give you a sneak peek of my family photos, recent client photo shoots, promotions of great gift ideas, and a little about my journey behind the lens.

KT Photography will focus on photographing children, families, pets and special events. I look forward to you joining me. I can be reached via email at ktyuswashi@aol.com. Don't delay in scheduling your photo session with me today.
