Welcome to KMOPHOTO! My name is Kelly and I am a photographer. I think I have the best job in the world. I get to work with different people on one of the most important days of their life. DANG, is that exciting! My style is such a mix that I really try not to pin myself to one. My style on your day is to do one thing: Tell YOUR story the way you invisioned it. That sounds pretty easy, huh? There are key photos that I take at every wedding: uh hemm, a pretty head shot, a pretty group photo, and a few family photos, but beyond that the story is ALL YOURS! Do you have a wedding party that is just over the top and worried about who will be able to capture them? Do you have one LONG wedding day and wonder who will be there to record it? Lets chat!
Hey Everyone,
My website crashed on Monday and is finally back up! The bad news is that I lost all of my email from September 2009 through June 2, 2010. Sorry for any inconvenience, as this is a real pain! If you need to contact me for any reason please email me again.
Thanks,
Kelly
well, this season has proved to be nothing but difficult. The water is still only 62 degrees and I’ve been able to board only three times! A friend came out with us one morning and here is a photo she snapped off 
Always fun to go play though. Even if only for a few minutes in this freezing and wet weather.
that’s me at 24.5mph at 70 doing a tail grab behind my 05 ‘bu vlx. From the look of it I am about to lose the rope too, but I did manage to hold on to that one.
Good Times,
KMO
Well, i’ve always wanted to do 3d stuff. so, this year MAY just be the time to do it. Sorry you gotta see my mug so up-close and personal and without a smile on my face, but it is always fun to explore…..Here’s we go!
me-n-3d
mwahahahaah!
we took a kayak trip of the Colorado river, just south of the hoover dam. the trip was awesome, but a few things i’d change: bring water shoes and put sun block on my legs…. it was pretty awesome though –
for those who are looking for the photos I took of them on the trip – gimme a few days to post a link on my site for you to download the photos

Friday is finally upon us and the sun is shining. Ugh, finally! I am so ready for the weather (and the lake) to warm up. Every year about this time I get so excited to start working. I am full of fun ideas (some may work and some may not) but it is all about trying new things and being true to yourself.
In lighter news, I was able to put the boat in the water yesterday! If you are a boat owner or know someone who is a boat owner, we all have stories! Too bad my stories are about me and my boat. The latest saga came yesterday as I put the boat in the water. You need a little background in Gages Lake politics, so I will do my best to fill you in.
Gages Lake is a private lake with four boat launches. The boat launches are private for the most part. Two launches are part of a subdivision called Wildwood, one is part of Dady Decker and one is part of the townhouses. Every little subdivision pays their dues to have access to a launch. Now, I live in Gages lake, which MUST use the Dady Decker launch. There is no way to buy a key for a launch in another subdivision. One problem with that is our launch isn’t really made for wakeboard boats. The tower doesn’t fit under the bridges. Why can’t I just pay the money for the other subdivision and get a key. I live on the freakin’ water and can’t get my boat out there! Grrr! So, every year we have to sneak my boat on the water by staking out the launch in hopes someone leaves the gate unlocked. So, yesterday I swung by the launch and was STOKED to find the gate was open. So, I went home and grabbed my boat. I checked the plug, battery, took an extra charger, grabbed the key and booked it over to dump the boat in the water.
The boat splashed and started right up. Vrrruum, I love that sound. LOVE that sound. I am not one for fast cars, but that 350 turning over just makes me smile. I triple checked the two inside plugs and they were in good and I proceeded to back ‘er up into the water. I was in the water and everything went smooth! I slowly motored to my boat lift in front of the house. The battery for the lift worked perfectly and lowered into the water without hesitation. I then pulled the boat on and had a huge smile on my face – the boat is home and the 2009 boating season officially started. I started lifting the boat up and glanced at the back of the boat…… Hmm, that is strange, I can see the wake plate and the exhaust pipes. OH CRAPOLA! The swim platform is gone. Hello idiot (that would be me), I put the platform on and forgot to put the pins in. To give you a little background on the platform it weights a good 80-100 pounds. Freakin’ mad as all get out I started tracking back to the boat launch to look for the (sure to be sunk) swim platform. 50% back, no platform, 75% back, no platform, 90% back no…oh wait, what is that yellow thing I see floating….MY PLATFORM!!! OH thank goodness. Most boating stories end in oops’s that cost some serious coin, but this one was just educational. The water is a brisk 49 degrees F, so I don’t jump in, but reach over and gently pull the platform into the boat. I motor home and am revealed to have that vital piece home.
Then, a few hours later a torrential rain swooped in and soaked the boat. I know boats are made to get wet, but if you know boat people we try and keep it as dry as possible. As I write this my new boat cover shipped. SWAHHHEET! This is going to be a good season and I can’t wait to hit the buttery water of Gages Lake behind my ‘bu. I get excited just thinking about boarding at 70′ feet going about 25 with all four ballasts filled, the wake plate down, the swim platform in view, Kimberly driving and Toby watching my every move! Toby kinda freaks out when I go under water, but that is for another post
Get out and enjoy the weekend….
