Hey! I’m Kelli. Since I was a little girl, my parents encouraged me to explore, discover, and create. This basic principle has led me on a lifetime journey of exploring new mountains and skiing in new places, of pushing myself to my limits to see how much I can take, and capturing my experiences through the lens of my camera. I am driven by unexplored places, fresh powder, human-powered adventures and a cold glass of beer or a good whisky.
