Hey new friend!
Thanks so much for visiting my little spot in the universe.
I've been photographing weddings in Kansas City since 2023—but truthfully, I’ve been storytelling through images for 20 years scrapbooking family photos with my grandma and burning through stacks of disposable cameras at summer camp. In high school and college, I was that girl with the digital camera at every party—documenting the blurry, beautiful chaos of growing up. (Shoutout to those memories still living their best lives on Facebook.) As an art major, I spent tons of time developing film in a sketchy closet on my college campus. Now, I'm a photographer in Lawrence, KS for weddings, elopements and portraits full of personality.

Looking back, I’ve always been a nostalgic romantic.
And now, as a mom, that pull toward preserving memory has only deepened.
As a photographer, I often catch myself really trying to soak in the details of my life - the way my husband looked at me when he proposed, the way my daughters eye lashes fold up in her swim goggles, my last babys juicy cheeks.
For my clients, I want to bottle those moments and feelings—the love, the light, the chaos, the beauty—and hand them back to you in a way that lets you experience it all over again.
This work is more than pretty pictures. It’s about connection. About storytelling. About honoring the chapters that make your story yours—from wild wedding days to quiet snuggles on the couch. It's about saving those moments to hold and love and feel forever.
So whether you’re throwing a kickass wedding, wrangling your littles for family photos, or just want to remember this exact season of life—I’m your girl. Let’s capture the real, the raw, and everything in between.

“Kendal is amazing.”
“She made us feel so comfortable and took the sweetest photos of our family, capturing our day-to-day together beautifully. She went above and beyond both for our autumn photo shoot and our courthouse wedding. We look forward to working with her again and again.”
I love tacos, dance
parties + love stories.
People say I’m the kind of person who instantly puts you at ease—super chill, always down to laugh, and just the right amount of chaos coordinator thrown in. Which, let’s be honest, comes in very handy on a day like your wedding.
I’m a bit of an over-sharer, a closet reality TV lover (no shame), book lover and a big believer that most bad days can be turned around with a patio beverage, chips + salsa and the people you love.
I believe that: All love is beautiful, valid and sacred; No person is illegal; Cannabis is helpful to many (and makes a fun addition to a wedding); Women's health decisions should be 100% left to them + their doctors; You should be able to present yourself however you choose in the world without discrimination or hate. If you disagree with these - I'm not the right photographer for you.
