Kentucky wedding & family photography with a guided candid approach to invoke feelings of nostalgia for years to come.
WEDDINGS
BOUDOIR
FAMILY
Whether you’re eloping out in Red River Gorge, having family photos taken in your backyard in Louisville, or throwing a reception with your chosen loved ones — I want to intentionally & truthfully capture these good ol’ days, so you can have photos to look back on. The years go will on & the photos will get more precious with time.
Weddings, Elopements, & Engagements
I love capturing weddings of all sizes: from the big wedding that celebrates the blending of two families and cultures. To the intimate backyard wedding or elopement wedding in Red River Gorge, Kentucky. I’ve been photographing weddings since 2015 and have been lucky to capture over 150 weddings since then. The couples I resonate with the most are the ones want their memories captured candidly as they naturally unfold.
Family Photography
My family sessions are often an extension of our first experience together, weddings. (Though they don’t have to be!) They are a great way to continue to document those moments as life continues to grow or shift. I encourage families to do an activity and be curious about their environment (easy to do with kids!) so that it allows me to capture your family in a laid-back way.
Boudoir Photography
Boudoir photos are all about helping you feel confident! I take boudoir photos for you & your self love journey - for you to enjoy, to appreciate, to see how truly beautiful your body is.
“For my boudoir shoot, Kendra made me feel so comfortable and feeling sexy within the first 10 minutes of the shoot. I loved every minute of it and would do it again in a heartbeat.”
Red River Gorge Photography
One of my most treasured things to do is to hike trails in Red River Gorge. Or just go for long drives down Nada Tunnel Road, stopping for pizza at Miguel’s on the way. Over the years I have collected spots for beautiful photos. And I’m always down for exploring new spots, too! If you’re interested in celebrating your wedding or having your pictures taken at the Gorge, I’m down to capture the ride.
Into film and polaroids?
I adore the nostalgic look of 35mm film, as well as being able to hold a polaroid in your hands. I include polaroid and film as an add-on option.

I've always loved creating and telling stories through photos. It started as a kid when I used to steal the family camera to take photos of my 7 younger siblings.
From personal experience, I’ve learned that life can get hard and things can change fast. I believe that all of the hard moments are worth living for the good moments you get. But sometimes it’s hard to remember that. With photos of your best memories, it’s a lot easier to remember.
That is part of why I take my job so seriously… at the end of the day, I’m your advocate to relive those moments that give you that sense of meaning and sense of purpose.
In the photography industry, I so often see the photos dictate the moment, not the other way around. Instead, I guide and encourage my clients be in the moment.
