• Hello! My name is Kelly Schulze and I'm an award-winning Certified Professional Photographer who specializes in studio and environmental animal portraiture. With my love and understanding of animal behavior, years of technical training, and a fast shutter finger I am able to consistently wow my clients with stunning, heartwarming portraits and an unforgettable experience.

    I am based out of Monkton, Vermont and travel throughout the northeast for on-location portrait sessions. I am also available for animal-related product photography and commercial licensing.

    Our five dogs (Logan, Jackson, Molly, JB, and Ansel), six cats (Miss Kitty, Luci, Bink, Dorie, Judy, and Masson), and 10 laying hens graciously share their home with my husband, Ian, and I.

    Have fun browsing my galleries and fill out the Contact form if you're so inclined.

    Peace, Purrs, and Tail Wags!

Caring – For those who cannot speak for themselves

May 22, 2012

A big part of my life is dedicated to helping others, especially animals. I’ve been volunteering at animal shelters since I was in 9th grade and I’m always willing to help like-minded causes. I donate my photography in many ways:

- As a volunteer for Humane Society of Chittenden County. My husband, Ian, and I travel to HSCC weekly to photograph adoptable animals and work on special projects for them. Check out HSCC’s blog post about us, including video!

- As a volunteer for Ivana Iguana Wisdom and Rescue. I love working with JoAnn’s adoptable reptiles!

- As a Founding Member of HeARTs Speak, a worldwide group of artists dedicated to promoting adoption through our art. I regularly donate images and time for special projects.

- As a Smile for a Cure photographer. In 2011 I was honored as the SFAC Photographer of the Year. The program connects animal photographers around the nation to donate session fees to the National Canine Cancer Foundation. I support NCCF as it not only looks for a cure for cancer, but also for less invasive treatments. NCCF did a sweet blog post about my work, too.

- By offering pro bono portrait sessions for “less adoptable” animals to help find homes for them.

- By offering gift sessions and prints to local non-profit groups and schools during fundraisers.

Below are links to some of my Caring work.
