Meet Kelley Jo
Central Illinois Family photographer
Hi, I’m Kelley Jo — the eye and heart behind Honey & Beige Photography. I’m a full-time working mom with a deep love for natural light, quiet details, and the candid, in-between moments that often mean the most. My daughter, Elliott Jo, is the spark that ignited my passion for photography. Watching her grow has inspired me to slow down, capture the little things, and let photos tell the stories.
While I’m just beginning this professional journey, photography has always been close to my heart. With every session, my goal is to create a space that feels warm, easy, and genuine — where you can just be, and I’ll take care of preserving the magic. Whether you're here for family photos, couples, or something just for you, I’m so glad you found your way to Honey & Beige.
Let’s make something beautiful together.
FAQ
Do you travel for photoshoots?
Yes, I do! I'm happy to travel for photo sessions outside my local area. Whether it's a nearby town or a favorite destination, I love capturing memories in meaningful places. Travel fees may apply depending on the distance, so feel free to reach out with your location and I’ll provide all the details!
What should we wear for our session?
I always recommend wearing outfits that make you feel comfortable and confident. Soft, neutral tones like beige, cream, sage, and muted pastels photograph beautifully and fit the Honey & Beige style. Coordinating (not matching) outfits work great for groups—think textures, layers, and subtle patterns. Avoid bold logos or overly bright colors, as they can distract from the natural feel of the photos. If you need help styling, I’m happy to offer suggestions or inspiration boards!
How long does it take to get our photos?
You can expect to receive your fully edited gallery within 2–3 weeks after your session. I take care to hand-edit each image to reflect the warm, natural style of Honey & Beige Photography. If you need your photos sooner, just let me know—rush delivery may be available for an additional fee!
