Keli Wakeley

Keli Wakeley is a portrait & event photographer located in Newberry, Florida. When not behind the lens, you will find her traveling out west or enjoying the Florida outdoors. In addition to her photography business Keli is a Certified Horsemanship Association (CHA) horseback riding instructor and Co-Regional CHA Director for Florida. She has been blessed to have horses in her life since childhood, where she spent many hours with her father watching Thoroughbreds work on the south Florida Race tracks near her hometown of Fort Lauderdale. During this time she developed an interest in photography. As a child she would photograph friends, horses, and family with a disposable camera. As a teen and then as an adult, her love for photography and capturing special memories continued to grow. When she was a full time instructor, she found herself photographing/videoing her young students. The opportunity sparked her interest in pursuing her lifelong love of photography professionally. To date, she enjoys photographing equines, canines, and events in addition to other portrait work. Keli's goal as a photographer is to capture the spirit and beauty of all her clients.
