Hey There!
I’m Kelly Jo Lynn and I am a Twin Cities based photographer and graphic designer. I grew up in a small town in central Minnesota (Staples) but have called Saint Paul my home for the last 10+ years. I graduated from Concordia University St. Paul in 2013 with a B.A. in Graphic Design and a Minor in Photography. I am currently the Creative & Photography Manager for the University of Minnesota Gophers and was previously the Marketing Manager for the St. Paul Saints (notice a trend? I love sports).
I love my job! I get to design cool graphics for various Gopher Sports teams as well as photograph events and even travel with some of our teams. As my photography skills grew with the Gophers, I was honored to be given the opportunity to be the PWHL Minnesota team photographer in 2024. I worked hard to capture a variety of content as it was their inaugural season and I felt a responsibility to tell the whole story of this historic moment. The season had a storybook ending when they won the championship! I have also since been hired by the Minnesota Aurora FC to be their team photographer. It’s been really fun to find ways to connect with new people and share their stories with my photography skills.
In my free time I like to hang out with my amazing and incredibly handsome husband (Jordan Lynn, aka JLynn Productions) and our frenchie, Moose. I also enjoy spending lots of time with my friends going to brunch, going on neature walks, and attending sporting events & concerts. I’ve always had a huge passion for photography. My mom gave me my first camera when I was 2 years old and I’ve been taking photos ever since. One of my favorite quotes is, “We do not remember days, we remember moments.” I find this to be incredibly true, and I hope to have the privilege of capturing a special moment or two in your life!
