Up Close Photography Kelly Marie
Kelly Buchanan is a highly regarded Newborn and Maternity photographer based in
San Antonio, Texas, known for her award-winning work, meticulous attention to newborn
safety, and her dedication to educating fellow photographers. Since discovering her
passion for photography in 2010, Kelly has continually grown in her craft, finding beauty in
every subject and taking pride in preserving precious memories for families. As a military
wife and mother to two beautiful daughters, Kelly deeply values the importance of
capturing meaningful moments.
Kelly came into education when she realized there was a gap in genuine teaching.
Keeping in mind that education is the key to our industry and that she wouldn't be where
she was without it, is what drives her to share with others who are excited to learn. Kelly is
enthusiastic about newborn education specifically because she feels as if there is not
enough available, and the safety of newborns is paramount. Kelly has studied and taken
multiple courses on newborn safety and posing, including a military course given to her
when she was the Demises Photography Provider for the Landstuhl Regional Medical
Center in Germany.
Kelly’s compassion for education and photography lives deep in her soul and she
loves providing a fun and benevolent learning environment for everyone to be able to
flourish and grow.
