About Me: Tracy Kelley

A Bit About Me…

I am a mother of twins, and comfortable handling multiple babies at once.

I have a son on the autism spectrum, so I understand the difficulties that arise with sensory issues, over stimuli and the need to be patient.  I am closely involved with local groups of parents that have children with disabilities, I operate a support group for parents of kids with autism and I am a strong advocate for child safety.  My strong desire to help people gave me the drive to specialize in “sensory friendly” no flash photography. 

Photography has been my passion for over 30 years.  It began in high school. Staging photos, developing 35mm b/w film in a darkroom, and being recognized as a top videographer.  I entered a contest against seniors in college, taking home two 1st place awards and an award of distinction ~ this gave me the confidence to continue pursuing my love of photography.

Today, I am an International Award-Winning Photographer located in Leesburg Va. 

Through the years I have entered a handful of photos in an international contest through AFNS with several “winners.”

AFNS opened a new contest in 2022 called PRIME, only previous AFNS “winners” can enter.  I entered the contest with my “Baby Peacock.”  I won the Silver Badge.

(There are 4 badges: bronze, silver, gold and PRIME)

June 2024 I won “Photographer of the Month” 1st place with 2 PRIME badges for “Minty Fresh Baby.” and Emerald Hammock.

I am truly honored, it is not easy to win in any of these competitions!
