Nice to meet you!
Hey there, I’m Kendal! I have been a professional photographer for about seven years now, but I have always loved being behind the camera—taking pictures of friends and competitive cheer. I have a degree in photography from the University of North Carolina at Charlotte, and storytelling through images has always been my passion. My goal is to create timeless memories through photographs, capturing all the little details and emotions that make each moment special. Ever since I was a kid, I’ve been obsessed with preserving memories, and getting to do that for others is something I truly love.

My Photography Journey
Photography seems to run in my family just a little bit. My papa was into photography, he had his own darkroom in his basement where he would process all his film and print the photos. But it’s funny because it wasn’t until a few years after I picked up a camera I knew he did all this. I started taking pictures in early high school, it would just be of my friends at the park or around the neighborhood. I was also a competitive cheerleader in high school and would shoot at competitions of my sisters’ team as well as the others in the gym. This is definitely where my love of sports photography came from. Because I loved taking pictures so much I decided that’s what I wanted to go to school for. This is where I learned film photography, and even more, sports photography, really started my portrait business and worked at a few places shooting product photography. Now here I am, in my own photography business, working for an awesome small business shooting photos and still a little obsessed with sports photography.
