im kelley.

You're here and thats pretty cool, not gonna lie.

I’m Kelley, and Raye is my last name, not my middle name. People ask.

I’m a Lifestyle Editorial Branding Photographer based in Atlanta, GA and Los Angeles, CA. I’m also co-owner of Neutral Moon Studio, a boutique rental photography studio + creative space in Atlanta’s most artistic neighborhood, Castleberry Hill. I help six and seven-figure generating women show up in this world the way they want to be seen, and continue to build businesses with brand clarity and intention.

I used to move around ALOT as a kid. Having to start over at a new school every year forced me to not only perfect the art of making new friends quickly but also to find a way to remember the friends I knew I would be leaving behind at the end of the school year. 

I started carrying around disposable cameras so that i could snap anything and anybody I wanted to remember. I knew that the memories would always be there, and photos would help me unlock them whenever I wanted.

Thats how my obsession with photography started.

I don't shoot cold, stark, inauthentic photos. I probably couldn't if I tried. I shoot with purpose. Life goes by so quickly, you know? I'm a photographer because its important to me that we remember. The mood, the smell, the butterflies in the stomach, the time, who was there, the season, the excitement, whether they were chocolate chip or oatmeal raisin cookies, the feelings, the reason. I'm about the memories. I do what I do because one photo can help recall 1,000 amazing memories after the people, places and things pictured have loooooong since faded away.

And who the hell doesn't love that?

a neutral aesthetic is my spirit animal.

Now aside from my love for white walls and photo montages…
