“From the moment I walked into your space, meeting and connecting with both you and Traci, you made me feel so comfortable, special, free, confident and beautiful. I loved placing myself in your hands and just letting your talent and eye guide us. It was such a transformational moment for me, because at the time of the shoot, I was going through one of the lowest periods of my life,and the experience of the shoot, and then the reveal were both pivotal points and catalysts that pushed me forward in my healing and how I saw myself. I owe a great deal of my progress to you and Traci! Thank you for helping to set me back on the right road to rediscovering ME…”

Kelley is a talented photographer who has a gentle and approachable demeanor which completely zapped any intimidation I had going into my photoshoot. I felt at ease as she guided me through facial and body positioning. There was no guesswork; all I had to do was follow her clear and simple instructions. Her glam team (Tracy) was lovely and an expert artist. She applied a level of makeup that felt natural to me and she styled my hair beautifully for the shoot. I would highly recommend Kelley for stunning photos and a comfortable and professional experience.

Kelley was such an incredible photographer and working with her felt so comfortable and empowering. Traci also did such a beautiful job with my makeup. I was doing a boudoir shoot for my partner for Christmas and Kelley and Traci made me feel so at home in the beautiful studio. I had such a great time and all of the directions were clear and made for such gorgeous photos. The various poses and scenes turned out so well - definitely an incredible worthwhile experience!

What an amazing experience. As a “mature” woman, I was a bit anxious about having a photo shoot that focused on me. I’m usually the one capturing pictures of everyone else. A behind the camera type of person. But Kelley made this experience so comfortable and empowering. I walked in anxious and walked out feeling beautiful!! And Traci, the hair and makeup (and Jack of all trades) woman did an amazing job. I felt like I looked like the best version of ME and not an overdone version. I highly recommend Kelley.

“A photo shoot with Kelley is more than just that - it's a true experience. I recently participated in her #50over50 project and felt pampered and encouraged the whole time. Needless to say the end result was exquisite - definitely not because of the subject - but because of the artist behind the camera. And the take-home products were so high end and indulgent - it was truly a "treat yourself" moment that I will forever cherish! Kelley and Tracey - makeup artist extraordinaire - are true experts, professionals and embody everything that is to empower women. I thank you for an amazing experience!

“Had a great experience working with Kelley. Kelley was very helpful throughout the process. I had a wonderful opportunity to be a model for a day. Very appreciative for her thoughtfulness and professionalism in every detail. Both she and Traci (hair/make-up) did a great job in creating different looks and the end product were lovely photographs for use professionally and personally. I highly recommend Kelley for any photography needs.”

All I can say is DO THIS!! Kelley and her stylist Tracy made me feel like a goddess!! I did this for a combined retirement, 60th birthday for myself and I would do it again!!
We all need to allow ourselves to feel empowered and beautiful and Kelley certainly made that happen!! Trust me, you will NOT be disappointed!!

“Kelley and Traci made the day of my photo shoot incredibly special. I was pampered and my photos captured my spirit. Highly recommend giving yourself this experience!”

-JO-ANN

“First of all, I have to start by saying that I really don’t like getting my picture taken. This is because I never seem to be able to get a picture that I think looks like the person I see when I look in the mirror. Because of this, I’ve gotten quite camera shy and awkward when anyone tries to photograph me. My experience with Kelley completely changed all of this. Her care and confidence allowed me to relax. She was absolutely sure that she would get great pictures of me and she did! From the planning of the shoot, to the choosing of outfits, make-up and hair (thank you Traci - SO fun to have a makeover), and actually posing for the camera, Kelley was on point. She let me look at some of the initial shots she was taking and once I saw that she was capturing me I was able to completely relax. I also really appreciated that we reviewed the shots right after we finished so I didn’t have to wait to see the results. We were able to work together to choose the photos that spoke most to me. Then, Kelley edited the shots and made beautiful pictures look even more stunning. She didn’t quit until I was completely satisfied. I can’t tell you what it means to have a record of what I actually look like for the first time ever. The shots were sent to some of my corporate clients who are used to working with photographers and celebrities. Everyone flipped over Kelley’s work. She is that good! Give this gift to yourself. Sign up today!”

I want everyone to know that when I did my shoot, I wanted to try something new. I wasn’t sure if I could do it. Let me tell you, Kelley and Traci made me feel so at ease. If you’ve ever thought about doing a shoot, Kelley and Traci are the photographer and stylist for you!! Definitely a “safe space.”

-GERI

I honestly don’t know where to begin. I saw Kelley’s FB add for her women over 40 photo shoot multiple days in a row. Each time I said to myself “that looks like an amazing experience” and each time I talked myself out of inquiring about it until finally I just said yes to the pull. And I am SO grateful I did.
Kelley and Traci (who did my hair/makeup) created a day that was incredibly amazing and SO much fun!!! They are kind, funny, professional, creative and supportive. We took photos in five different outfits and when I sat back to look at the 13 photos I loved the most, I started to cry. When I look at the photos, I see an empowered woman and quite honestly the photos are magical. I now have tangible reminders of what happens when I say yes to something that calls to me. If you are on the fence about having Kelley take your photos, I can assure you that you will have an amazing experience and will have photos you love!! Just say yes!!!
Thank you Kelley and Traci for an experience I will never forget. 💕

“I have had more than one session with Kelley and enjoyed each one very much but by far my favorite has been the boudoir one. I am not young or skinny and it can be intimidating posing for pictures especially with less clothes. However, Kelley helped me pose in a way that I was comfortable showing a little bit of skin. I have a big chest, love handles, and thunder thighs. Kelley made me feel beautiful and comfortable and we had so much fun that by the end of the session I felt like a Victoria’s Secret model! Feel beautiful and be beautiful and do it for yourself so you can relive the experience through the photos. You won’t regret it!”

This is NOT Glamor shots- remember those?!
I was so nervous as I never really do anything for myself and I don’t feel like I take a good picture. I was so ready for the “yep-see? Told you I don’t take a good photo”.
I was floored with the results. It’s all in the lighting and the posture, Ladies!
I showed the photos to my husband and he almost started to cry- my girlfriends were floored and my mom loved them (of course she did) and I’m currently uploading these to my social media accounts (dress for the job you want, right?)
The experience itself was fantastic- felt comfortable as soon as I walked in- make-up perfect- nothing outlandish. They helped with outfit ideas, I brought jewelry and it was like a party.
Thank you so such a great experience and I hope more women do this for themselves.

What an amazing and empowering experience I had with Kelley in her studio. Kelley is quite talented, not only behind the lens, but in making one feel comfortable with the entire process as well. The passion, vision, and work she puts into her projects just radiates from her -- she is the real deal. I felt at ease from start to finish, and that's coming from someone who had never really had hair and makeup done (thanks, Traci!), or a photoshoot just for myself, for that matter. I'll cherish the images from my photoshoot, and I treasure the experience of it just as much. I highly recommend her!

-CAITLIN

Kelley came to my office with her stylist (hair and makeup person) and photographed my entire team; doing both headshots and group shots, and she was absolutely FABULOUS!!! My site is not yet live with the new photographs, but the results that she achieved are incredible. Everybody loved them, even those on my team who weren’t excited about being photographed. Kelley has a great eye, and is a consummate professional. We are so grateful for the work that she did.

-ADAM

What an awesome and empowering experience I had with Kelley and Traci! I did a session for a wedding gift for my now husband and it was so fun! From getting pampered by Traci having my hair and makeup done and making me feel so beautiful to the photo shoot where Kelley made me feel so comfortable with myself, I couldn't have been happier. Not to mention how beautiful the portraits are....Kelley has a great eye for what she does and my photos are amazing! I will treasure them and look forward to having them as I get older to look back on and admire. My husband loves them too, it was a perfect gift!

-PAULA

Kelley Norcia really knows how to treat a lady! She made me feel like a superstar from the minute I walked into the studio. Coupled with the love and care I felt in Traci’s hair and makeup chair, it was the perfect beginning to an incredible day.

I never thought I had the guts to take boudoir photos, but Kelley made me feel totally comfortable and super empowered during our whole shoot. It was so liberating to put my trust in her and let go of my inner critic, something I’ve continued to practice since then. I had a really great experience that I believe helped to propel me into another chapter of my life.

I had a great experience using Kelley for headshots. I’m normally very camera shy but Kelley was so easy to work with and the photos came out so much better than I could’ve hoped for!

-JIA

So thankful to have found this amazing lady who captures the beauty in everyone she photographs. She takes her time to get to know every single person and discusses all the details of the photoshoot ahead of time, and delivers such amazing images to last a lifetime! Along with hair, and makeup, and wardrobe, feeling like a queen, getting the royal treatment! She's one of a kind, a talented photographer/artist, and such a lovely person all around.

-SANDY

Working with Kelley was a wonderful experience from start to finish! Your pre-sessions with her give you all the necessary information you need. She is full of helpful advice to make sure you thoroughly enjoy the experience. On the day of your photo shoot, you will have so much fun. You will love being pampered, reviewing your wardrobe options, and going through poses that compliment your shape and personality. Kellie knows her stuff! I completely put my trust in her and followed her lead. I was so very pleased with the results. I don’t have a favorite photo; I love them all! It was a great confidence builder for me, and my husband loved the photos as well. I would highly recommend Kelley to anyone who was considering such an experience!

-CARRIE

boudoir photography Connecticut, CT portrait photographer, Connecticut headshots

Let me start off by saying I’ve struggled with self-esteem issues all my life, so I initially was reluctant to even contemplate a photo shoot. As I’m getting older (43 years young 😂) I’m working on my journey to self love and appreciation and thought if I wait to to lose weight or for when the time is right, it will never happen. So I contacted Kelley for more info after I saw ads for ”love the skin you’re in” and the “40 over 40 experience” and boy am I glad I did!!

Kelley asked ME questions to get to know me and what I’m looking for. She helped me identify MY WHY! She then explained all options and we booked both my consultation session and photo shoot. During the consultation, Kelley helped me create an plan based on my why! We discussed wardrobe, make up, etc.

Today was my session - and let me tell you how amazing it was! From the moment I walked in, Traci and Kelley made me feel not only welcome, but also super comfortable. Traci did an amazing job with my hair and make up, Kelley guided me every step of the way during the shoot. Through the wardrobe changes, the poses, I didn’t have to think - just follow Kelley! Traci was there to make sure both my hair and make up stayed on point! I can honestly say they made me feel like the most beautiful woman in the world!!

The problem came when I had to pick the pictures- I WANTED THEM ALL!! Kelley took her time to go through each of the pictures until I was finally able to choose the ones I wanted. But like I said, if I could I would take them all!!

Kelley and Traci, THANK YOU! Thank you so much for the experience you provided me with today. I was able to take a few hours and make it all about me! I had a blast!! I can’t wait to have my pics so I can show them off!!

So if you’re thinking about doing this, don’t think - just book it! You won’t regret it!! ❤️

I had such an amazing experience with Kelley and her makeup artist Traci. This was my first time doing a photoshoot and it was so much fun. And when I saw the finished product, I was amazed. I LOVE my photos. So much so, I walk up to people and say, "Look at how beautiful I am." I've honestly never felt so beautiful in my life.

-CHACHANNA

What a spectacular defining moment in my life experience! Kelley & Traci were so welcoming, encouraging, cheerful, professional, efficient, and immediately put me at ease as they pampered me and helped me bring out my inner happiness and confidence through being photographed. That day still resonates inside me - since that day I have purchased an investment property, written our state representatives about educational issues, and opened up my heart to new relationships. I cannot thank these amazing ladies enough - I look forward to our next photo experience!

I did the 40 Over 40 Experience and loved it! I will cherish my pictures for years to come!

-DANIELLE

boudoir photography Connecticut, CT portrait photographer, Connecticut headshots

I have never liked pictures of myself. When I first got the digitals back, I loved them but still critiqued myself in each one. Then I kept going back to look at them, and when I saw the prints I felt so proud of them. They were me and it was ok for me to think I looked amazing in them! The whole experience with Kelley was fun and rewarding from start to finish!
