Athletics
MADE FOR:
#1 • Kelly MArleau
Kelly is the photographer who’s been capturing families and kids in Edmonton and Sherwood Park for over eleven years. These Athletic Sessions are her way to flex those creative muscles and let kids feel like rock stars - because they deserve to feel truly seen, especially teens.
As a mom of two teen girls, she lives the wild schedules, snack emergencies, and “that shot was lowkey fire…but that one was mid” realness every day. Kelly speaks Gen-Alpha fluently and knows just how to spark that confident, proud look in front of the camera.

TEAM ROSTER
POSITION • FOUNDER & LEAD
#2 • Julie Ballhorn
Julie is the studio manager and the one you’ll likely be emailing with from the start. She keeps everything running behind the scenes, organizing rosters, handling galleries, and making sure photo day feels smooth and low stress. She’s also usually there in person on photo day, fog machine in hand, making sure every kid feels special.
With three boys in competitive sports, she basically lives at the rink in winter and on the soccer pitch or ball diamond the rest of the year. She gets it because she’s living it too.

POSITION • STUDIO MANAGER
POINT 01
POINT 02
You’re a team manager or a parent who has been there for every early practice, every nail-biting game, every long rehearsal, and every late-night performance. You’ve spent hours driving, waiting in the cold or heat, and juggling schedules so your kid can do what they love.
You know how much effort it takes to get here, and you want portraits that really show who your athlete or performer is, not just some forgettable group photo.
POINT 03
These photos are about capturing the passion and hard work behind the scenes and the pride your kids have earned. It’s a way to celebrate all the time and love that got them to this moment.
