Kelsey Maggart

Spring Hill,TN

Summary

-The interest in Graphic Design all of high school was where all of the Adobe knowledge had stemmed from

-Started photography in 2014 and since then have created a name for myself on social media all over. I have been published in places like The National Post, Buzzfeed, People.com, etc.

-Made the move to Nasvhille, TN from Indiana and have since worked with a ton of smaller music artists, and even a few brands. Such as Kittenish, WLO dog houses, Showroom Nashville, etc.

I was a personal housing assistant when I first moved here where I took care of the home and two children Monday-Friday until COVID started. With that experience comes a lot of patience, organization and understanding.

In 2020 when that job was no longer an option due to COVID, I started giving editing lessons online to my social media followers. I teach everything that you need to know about editing a portrait from start to finish. Camera settings, color grading, retouching, and exporting.

-Very detail-oriented, organized and meticulous employee. I work at fast pace to meet tight deadlines.

-Creative Photographer with expertise in photography sales and marketing, customer service and project management.

-Talented at various photography styles, identifying client needs and providing innovative suggestions.

-Very practiced in on-location shoots, studio set-ups and equipment maintenance.
