Creative Director

Born and raised outside of Fort Collins, Kelsey has spent the majority of her life bouncing around Colorado! When the opportunity to move to the Bozeman area presented itself a few years ago she figured that she might as well give another beautiful state a try. She believes that you must love yourself first in order to show true love to others and that one of the the best ways to start is through practicing self care and clean living! The Loft offers many opportunities for self care as well as clean living and that immediately drew her into the space. When Kelsey is not at The Loft you can find her behind the camera, photographing weddings and families, or outside taking in all that nature has to offer!
