Get to Know me!
I always love starting off by introducing myself. I am Kendal Edward, a 24 year old senior and family photographer! I am located in North Charlotte, but will go anywhere ;) I have been photographing since I was 14. I started by shooting cheer competitions of mine and my sisters through high school, and then it quickly lead into all the cheer girls wanting portraits. I graduated with a Bachelors of Fine Arts with a concentration in Photography from UNC Charlotte. I am currently a full (ish) time photographer. Besides for running my own business, I also freelance for TAG (The Anything Group), where we go to shoot sports and I help out on production sets, and Janet Gwen, a small home essentials business photographing for her products, filming and editing her social media content.
It is crazy to think that my Papa was also a photographer when he was younger. He loves to give me all his film cameras and equipment he finds in the basement. While my mom was a kid, he had a dark room in the basement of his house where he would process and print photos. So he always knew someone in our family was meant to be a photographer!
Here are a few fun facts to get to know me a little more!
I am a sports lover. I love football (go bills) and will pretty much will watch any sport
Buffalo is a second home to me! I have a ton of family up there, I pretty much call myself a Northerner even though I primarily grew up in Charlotte lol
I love the color yellow (always feel like no ones fav color is yellow!)
I am an animal lover! At my parents house we have 3 dogs and a cat. They are all my babies
I started getting into reading more, which is new for me… but I love it!
I love going to workout, take walks, and go to pilates
The 3 biggest things people are always shocked to know about me is I don’t like coffee, ice cream or naps.. I know trust me I get made fun of for it countless times lol.
Some of my favorite places I have traveled have been Aruba and Arches National Park
