photography found me when i was still in high school-just taking photos of my friends and family and slowly realizing how much I loved it. any free day I had, I was shooting. I worked part-time while building this dream, and in October of 2021, I took the leap and went all in.
leaving my job to purse photography full-time was one of the scariest and best decisions I've ever made. telling stories, freezing moments, and creating images people can feel has become more than a job-its something I'm incredibly proud of.
some more about me-
im 26, born and raised in a small town, and a mom to two sweet boys. I welcomed my first son while I was still in high school, and we've truly grown up together. our youngest joined us in July and is now 5 months old-bringing even more love (and chaos) into our days. being their mom is the greatest gift of my life, and family means everything to me.
I'm married to my best friend and biggest supporter, and loving my husband well is one of my favorite parts of my life. my faith and love for jesus are at the center of everything I do and guide both my life and my work.
I love sweet tea + chai lattes (iced), pretty much all food (especially desserts), shopping trips, hiking, beach days, traveling, podcasts in my headphones, and slow meaningful moments. I've wanted to be a photographer for as long as I can remember, and getting to do this full=time still feels like a dream I don't take for granted.
meet my little family
behind the scenes, my husband is the calm presence cheering me on and keeping things running smoothly. we've been together for over 11 years and married for 3, and he'll sometimes tag along to sessions just to make sure everything goes smoothly (and I'm safe).
my oldest son is 9 and brings so much laughter and personality into our home. our youngest is 5 months old and already filling our days with the sweetest smiles. during the summer months, my oldest may occasionally join me at sessions and proudly help out as my little assistant.
this little crew is my everyday joy and the heart behind everything I create.

"kenedee took our first family photos and we will never go anywhere else! somehow she is able to capture amazing photos whether the kids are fully cooperating or not! she make you feel comfortable and laughs with you along the way. she poses you, but uses the candid moments to make your photos perfect. I recommend kenedee to literally everyone!!!"
