Hi I'm Kendra

A Catholic portrait photographer based in Walla Walla, Washington.

If there was something that I want to capture in every single shoot, it would be JOY! Whether it's in the love of a mother looking at her newborn child, the smiles of a family as they watch the toddler take his first steps, or the first time the groom sees his bride on their wedding day, every moment is special. These joyful blessings deserve to be captured and saved. I love capturing the moments of grace, beauty, sacredness, and joy woven into our lives. I would love to get to know you and capture your own story, personality, and uniqueness. Whatever phase of life you are in, let me help you capture your memories so you can savor them forever!  

 

What makes me different?

 

Reverently capturing the liturgy and sacraments!

 

 

I know the order, the importance, and sacredness of the sacraments so I know how and when to capture those moments that are most important to us as Catholics. My goal is to reflect Christs purity and brightness in my posing, editing, and overall style.

 

I see the beauty in families and children even in the chaos!

 

 

 

I am the oldest of 11 children! I love working with young children and understand that patience is key to success.    Christ calls us to be like little children, and I love to capture that God given innocence that shines so brightly from them!

 

 

Every moment is a blessing from God!

 

I get to capture and see so many of the most important, life changing, and truly joyful moments that God blesses each person with. I strive to capture those genuine smiles, raw emotions, gut felt laughs, and bonds of love in all stages of life!
