Most women don't come to me worried about the location or what outfit to wear.
They're worried about themselves.
Will I look awkward?
What do I do with my hands?
Will I like the way I look?
Do I need to lose weight first?
I've built my entire business around helping women navigate those fears. I'm here to help you, too.
My portfolio is filled with real women, not models. Women of different sizes, ages, backgrounds, and abilities.
Because beauty isn't one size, shape, or story.
You deserve photographs that celebrate who you are today, not who you think you need to become first.
One of the biggest fears women have before a session is not knowing what to do in front of the camera. The good news? That's not your job.
From the way you stand to where you place your hands, I'll guide you through the entire session. You'll never be left wondering what to do next. My job is to help you look and feel your best while still creating images that feel natural and authentic to you.
you don't need to know what to do
There is a difference between photographing women and specializing in them. I understand the thoughts that often show up before a session because I've heard them from hundreds of women.
"What if I look awkward?"
"I need to lose weight first."
"I hate being in photos."
I don't dismiss those feelings. I meet you where you are and guide you through them. My entire approach is built around helping women feel comfortable, confident, and seen.
i specialize in women.
Being photographed can feel vulnerable, especially during boudoir sessions.
Your images are private by default, and nothing is ever shared without your permission. The same goes for your children. Before sharing any image that includes your child, I ask for your consent because I believe that decision belongs to you.
Your trust, and privacy will always be more important than building my portfolio.
your privacy matters
Anyone can take a beautiful photo.
What I want for you is something deeper.
I want you to feel comfortable enough to be present.
I want you to feel confident enough to stop hiding.
I want you to leave with photographs that remind you that you were here and that you were worthy of being seen.
more than pretty pictures
why this matters
For a long time, I thought my job was taking beautiful photos.
Then I started listening to women.
I spent years photographing women and hearing the same kinds of things over and over. Women telling me they wanted to lose weight before booking a session. Moms avoiding being in front of the camera. Women who could easily point out every flaw, but had a hard time saying something kind about themselves.
Then I became a mom to my daughter.
It made me think differently about the messages girls grow up hearing about their bodies and their worth. I knew I wanted something different for her. I wanted her to see women who were confident in who they are and who understood that their value isn't determined by a number on a scale or how closely they fit a beauty standard.
That's when I realized this was about more than photography.
Photography is often how I first connect with women, but what I really care about is how they see themselves. It's why I created The Self Love Club, a community where women can find encouragement, and a reminder that they are already enough.
I care about the way women talk to themselves.
I care about helping them see themselves with a little more kindness and a little more grace.
My goal isn't just to create beautiful photos.
It's to create experiences where women feel comfortable taking up space.
You've heard the same ole story about two kids falling in love... they said they would never make it. They said it would never last. Well, here we are, 20 years later still crazy-in-love and raising a little human that looks just like her dad.
It's true. Kalee Isenhour Photography used to be a husband and wife team (he photographed and I posed.) I actually detested using my husband's fancy camera. Why would I want to lug this big thing around when I can use an easy point-and-shoot camera? Well, needless to say, I fell in-love with photography, taught myself how to use that fancy camera, and now spend my days working with women and I can't imagine doing anything else.
i didn't want to be a photographer
She's actually why I am now a photographer for women. While I have been a photographer for many years, my purpose changed with the birth of my daughter. I didn’t want her to grow up in a world where society told her what was beautiful, where women compare themselves to each other, and where she would feel like she was never enough. So I set out on a journey to change the world for her by helping women celebrate each other and themselves.
my daughter is my world.
I’m a proud champion for our city because Oklahoma City has come a long way, and I’ve loved growing right alongside it. So much so, I opened my own studio in the heart of the West Village district downtown and I won Oklahoma City's Favorite Photographer. You can catch me living my best life behind the camera at West Village’s Fourth Friday block parties, every month from May through October, capturing all the fun, community, and magic.

Scroll through your phone's photo gallery. When was the last time there was an image of you? Not a selfie, but one of just you. How about with your child? Do you see candid moments documenting your relationship, or do you see quick forced-smile selfies? You deserve to be photographed. You deserve to be celebrated as a wife, mama, and woman. Let me create the most beautiful images of you
