BEHIND THE LENS

Kelsey Lehman

I first picked up a camera as a teenager—just a simple point-and-shoot—but instantly felt something click. What began as a creative instinct soon became a lifelong calling: telling stories through light, color, and connection.

With a Bachelor’s in Fine Art and a background in painting and drawing, my work is grounded in intentional artistry and a deep appreciation for authentic moments. Over the years, photography has become not only my craft but also a way to preserve life’s most meaningful chapters.

Today, I lead The Lehman Collective alongside my husband, Billy—my partner in both life and business. We live just outside Charlottesville, Virginia, where we’re raising our family nestled in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains.

Whether documenting a destination wedding in Italy, a mountain vow exchange, or the first tender days of parenthood, we believe in creating timeless, heirloom imagery that feels both artful and deeply personal. The Lehman Collective is rooted in legacy, family, and the beauty of a life well lived—preserved for generations to come.

I believe true beauty
is found in the quiet, unposed moments of life

And that’s what I strive to capture – moments that feel real, timeless, and deeply personal.
