MEET THE PHOTOGRAPHER

KELLY KLEIN

Hey there! I'm Kelly, and I'm so glad you're here!

I grew up in Hartville, Ohio, before moving to SE Canton shortly after college. I've spent the past decade in nonprofit leadership, focusing on community development, communication, and corporate relations, before I was shoulder-tapped and encouraged by a friend to communicate some of Stark County's best stories visually and through social media management. 

The moment I photographed a Pro Football Hall of Fame Enshrinee put on his gold jacket for the first time, or the musicians of the Canton Symphony Orchestra play with such passion and dedication, I was hooked. I feel so lucky to be capturing some of Stark County's most beautiful moments from behind the lens. 

I am thrilled to still be doing social media management for a few local nonprofits I love, but the majority of my time is spent right here with you. Building relationships with people and photographing those gorgeous celebratory moments as they unfold. 

 

Whether it be by coming alongside a family as they welcome a new baby, or photographing the local music festival, I'm honored to be a part of good stories in a small way, and to watch all the good unfold. 

I'm a huge fan of Stark County, and in particular, Canton, Ohio, and I believe that the very best stories and the best photos are the ones we capture while we are busy living.

So, live, friends!

Challenge the norm. Go against the grain.

Take up space in this world. Be about the good.

I'm here for it and I'm here for you!
