27th June (2011?) - I was never inspired by anyone on Flickr until I came across Kelly. Looking at her work makes me want to improve mine, and to be able to motivate me like that is practically impossible. Thankyou for being SO good at what you do, and for just being wonderful generally. Oh, and curly hair rocks ;D 15th October (2011?) - so yeah, I've decided that the old testimonial doesn't really give Kelly the credit she deserves. As I've watched Kelly's stream over time I've seen her improve and improve and improve. She's one of those people who when you think they've shot the best thing in the world ever, they then manage to go and take something even better and what was previously the best thing doesn't even compare. Kelly's work feels so real, and her creativity and imagination seems to know no bounds. One of the things that makes her so wonderful is that she's not one of these photographers who is amazing at what they do but treats everyone else like crap - she's a real person, she's wonderful to talk to and the effort she puts into doing stuff like Follow Friday shows that for her, Flickr isn't just about displaying her work, it is about supporting other people as well. Kelly is genuinely the only inspiration I have in the form of a person - her work is consistently breathtaking, and she always manages to deliver a picture a day or more. I'm not sure I would still be so passionate about doing this whole Flickr thing and taking pictures if it wasn't for her. She is so easily among Flickr's best and finest photographers. You're a pleasure to know. :D When I go through my recent contacts' uploads I only open the ones that catch my eye, but I always, without fail, open every single one of yours. You are really truly wonderful, and without doubt my favourite contact :D 23rd June 2012 - So weird looking back over the old versions of my testimonial to you, it's like talking about someone I didn't know, NOW YOU'RE MY WIFE. This humoured me. I'll see you for cupcakes and muffins later, dear.

Kelly, you and your photos are my biggest inspiration. The beauty you create from such powerful and moving emotions is incredible. Your photos are so pure and genuine. You can really tell that your photos come from the heart. You have such an amazing talent, Kelly. I dream that someday I can be as inspiring as you are … Read more

Kelly, I should have written this a long time ago. You one of my biggest inspirations on this website.

Kelly, I should have written this a long time ago. You one of my biggest inspirations on this website. I've always been drawn to your style; your photos manage to be simple and delicate but also so extraordinary and beautiful. There is just something about the colors and the overlays you use and the beautiful places and things you shoot that is so wondrous to me. I have, more than once, simply sat at the computer and looked through your stream, wondering how you took this and where that place was and wow, that is so perfect. I dream that one day my photos might be able to capture the little awesome things of life that yours do. Also, you have always been so kind to me. I was so shy when I FlickrMailed you and asked if you would be contacts with me, and you replied not a hour later, telling me of course you would. Every favorite or comment from you on my photos, here or on Tumblr or Instagram, makes me so happy. Thank you for everything. You are amazing. Sam

Kelly, I am forever grateful that you added me as a contact. Words cannot tell you how much that means. You have been such an inspiration to me for so long.

The first testimonial I wrote for you did you no justice whatsoever. Kelly, I don't even know where to start. You are the most incredible, amazing, and inspiring person on Flickr.

I can't believe that I don't have write yet a testimonial for Kelly, because she's one of my favorites photographers, and I could spend my day (my week !) watching her pictures. The work of Kelly is full of emotions, I never saw this elsewhere, I mean also powerful. She takes beautiful pictures, with amazing creativity, and wonderful light. All the qualities together. I follow her work since one year probably and it's amazing how she has improve. And it's always gorgeous and always different. She's so inspiring. But I think that all the words that I can write would be less powerful than her photos. Her photos speak, her photos beat, just like a heart.

i know i don't comment a lot but i still feel the need to write you one of these. your photos are so creative and unique. there's something about them that i can't quite place my finger on that makes them so different -- maybe it's the softness, the emotion, the tones. i really don't know. all i know is whenever i look… Read more
