Cutsie Carrie

Hello and everyone welcome first time model Carrie!

My lovely lady friend came over the other week to play dress up and model for me, and she did fantastic for her first time! She also broke my "shooting in my house" cherry! Woo!

She did her own hair and make-up for this shoot, and I am super excited for her to finish hair school so that she can come work with me on future sets! :)

Maratime Tattoo Festival

Hey folks!

Just a heads up that I will be once again sponsoring and working at the Maritime Tattoo Festival, here in Halifax, Nova Scotia!

Come check out all the vendors, artists, and get yourself some ink work done.

I will once again be having a photo booth open all weekend long, so that you can get official festival portraits of you, your old ink, your new ink, or any of your awards, or just of you and your friends!

Large scale files will be for sale, but small scale files will be posted online for your usage. Large scale files will be able to print where as small ones won't print well. Also there will be a booklet of the images from last year as well that will be open for ordering.

See you all there!

Vixen

My friend Vixen made a trip down from New Brunswick a couple weeks back and we thought it might be fun to take some pics. She is so cute and tiny and I just wanna snuggle her.. only she's a little on the pointy side. Thanks ok. We love her anyway!


That's all for this week folks! Hopefully next week will be on time!

Nighttime Bird

So I only just occured to me that I never posted these images of a wicked model Stephanie! She Came in from out of town to work with me one day, and it was ALOT of fun! She has some pretty neat wardrobe and was very funny! Don't let her serious look fool you! This girl is a doll!

Make-up was by myself.


Kelly Lynn Martell Photography has some pretty big things in the midst! So keep checking back for some updates!

Ethan, Alex, and Ian

A few months ago, there was a draw at a local event that I sponsor, for a free photoshoot. This gentleman won, who came to me shortly after saying thanks, and how he hates having his picture taken (great yea? lol) So my friends Ethan and Alex (previously shot) offered to pose with him to make him feel more comfortable.

Alex and Ethan are amazing when it comes to concepts. We decided to do a post apocalyptic theme in the room next to Ethan's. This is what we did.

So I also took some time to do some shots of the lovely Lady Myers and Ethan because they are just too damn cute!!

I do have more images coming soon.. I just bought a new mac, and am using the new system, as well as CS4 so I have alot of catching up, and learning to new.. (note: CS4 camera raw is to die for!)

The beautiful Alex Myers came into the studio again a month or so back, with the cutest outfit that was just too fun not to play with for a couple hours! Alex always has amazing style, hair and make-up ideas, I just love working with her.

And then she brought out the play needles and made a mini corset piercing in her leg. It was neat to watch!

Kit Pixley

Another photo-set from my day of shooting.

This is my friend Kit. He has been bugging me for a while to do a photoshoot and finally an opportunity arose. Also, there is a piano in the studio, and I was unaware that he was a musician. So we also did some shots of him playing the keys. It was very neat to have live music while shooting for once! :D





















Site is now moved to the new server. Still having troubles with it.. working hard to try and get it fixed so that we don't have to rebuild it all.

Remember Remember the 5th of November

Ok, so maybe it's only the forth but it's a tribute to one of my favorite movies.

So as many of you know my galleries are STILL having issues, mostly just the fashion and beauty gallery. The reason for this is still unknown. We have actually sat and tried to re-upload images, and everything but to no avail. So many apologies to those who are trying to view that gallery right now.

So for the time being to see any new updated images you can check out my blog here, as well as on my website to see whats new and exciting.

I've done a couple shoots with some wonderful young ladies during October. The first here is with the lovely lady Alex Myers. She had just moved into town from New Brunswick and was egar to get some new images done. She had found that there was a celler door in her kitchen that led to the undergrounds of her house, and down there, was just a bunch of dirt, rocks and a very old door. Naturually, this was the perfect location to take some moody, bloody images!










This will NOT be the last time I work with her. She was alot of fun, and has an AMAZING wardrobe.

Next is a very adorable little girl named Julya. Sitting at only 14 years old, she was asking her mom for a photoshoot for her birthday. And this is what we did. She is going to be a very pretty girl with some modeling potential when she grows up.








And finally this is Ashely. She also has a modeling career in the startings, and came to me for some more images to add to her portfolio. She was just a natural beauty. We had alot of fun once the shy jitters wore off.








This is all for now, I currently have a couple more shoots booked and a few more in the planning process. Hopefully will be a bit fresher looking, with some new styles in lighting and everything.

First Blog

Hello everyone and welcome to my blog for Kelly Lynn Martell Photography.

I am a Halifax based photographer, specializing in high fashion, glamor, alternative, portraits and other creative projects.

I am a NSCC graduate with a diploma in photography, but have also learned skills in design, photoshop, as well as business based programs.

---- but enough about the technical hello mumbo jumbo!

I am currently booking some shoots in the local area with some very wonderful alternative models. I have been itching to practice my skills in photography, as well as learn from my mentors and inspiration. I am hoping to create some images that will mimic my favortie photography Lithium Picnic. Take a bit of a break from high fashion and back to my roots as a person and artist.

but for now.. i leave you with a couple of my latest images, from a live shoot at NSCC.











enjoy! and more to come in the very near future.
