Jerry W. Kelley

Photographer Extraordinaire!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

While preparing for the release of the CD "Horizons," we realized that I hadn't had professional pictures made during, well, this century. At about the same time, an old friend contacted me on Facebook.

Jerry Kelley has been a professional photographer in Hampton Roads and beyond for just about as long as I've been performing, and I've always been a fan of his work, whether in his years with McIntosh Studios or on his own. Jerry was a friend from the Ramblin' Conrad's days, and it was great fun catching up on each of our ramblin's during the years gone by.

For a good part of July and August 2009, Jerry followed us from gig to gig, into the recording studio, and finally out to a special beach that holds much meaning for me, my family, and those I love. The result of those sessions is a collection of images that are more than just photographs. They are memories that would have been lost without his art, and part of our lives now.

I can say without reservation that working with Jerry was a pleasure, and the results were beyond any of our expectations. He has a gift at making people feel completely at ease, and an eye for seeing the shot that no one else does. I treasure his friendship, and his work.
