about
Hi, I’m Kells! I’m a writer and photographer living in central Oregon. My journalism has appeared in The New York Times, Bustle, Fortune, and others. On the brand side, I regularly work with Peloton, Calm, and Equinox.
My short fiction has been shortlisted for The Masters Review Summer Short Story Award for New Writers, and I was the recipient of theOffice Fellowship in Santa Monica, California. I’m represented by Nicole Cunningham at Trellis Literary Management.
I’m the founder of earth to kells, a creative consultancy offering editorial services including query editing, essay writing, and pitching. I also shoot engagement and portrait photographs in my home, central Oregon.

essay writing + pitching
You have something to say. All you need is a way in (and, okay, a great outline). Whether you want to learn essay-writing for yourself or pitch a piece to a national publication, let’s write together.
creative process
Being an artist starts with knowing what you’re passionate about right now. Crafting an artist statement will help you get clarity on what you want to create, so you can spend more time in the magical making.

I fell in love with film photography in 2021 and haven’t looked back. Nothing captures the preciousness of a moment quite like a grainy, dreamy, nostalgic image.
I love to photograph people in natural environments, so if you want to take engagement photos in the forest or a portrait near the river, I’m in.
