Kelly Giardina is a family-oriented person and empathetic photographer who believes we learn about the world by peeking into each other’s lives — that people everywhere around the world have far more in common than not. She worked for over a decade as an IT consultant before starting her own photography business and supporting her family’s wireless construction company. A mother since age 16, Kelly received the support she needed for her and her son to succeed and is committed to giving back so children and families receive the community and family resources they need to succeed. She believes strongly in making connections—for herself and others—and that living life together is the key to a long, successful life for both adults and children.
