Kadi Kaelin

Kadi here. 


I'm a Minneapolis-based photographer and textile artist, specializing in food, beverage, portrait, and lifestyle photography. As a perpetual student of the craft, I'm always looking for good light and moments that are simply created, not overly directed. 

My professional work thrives on collaboration. From chefs to small-business owners, I partner with dedicated individuals across various fields. I see my role as a conduit to spotlight their passion and commitment, offering audiences a glimpse into their work's depth. 

When I’m not tinkering with a camera, making art, eating/growing/talking about food, waxing poetics about Paul McCartney, or telling you why paying attention to birds is cool, you can find me loving life with my fella, our daughter, and our wonderfully messy mastiff Barbara Ann.
