About

Fun, emotions, family, you. That's what I'm after.

My history is in fine art and black and white film. I started taking photographs in high school with my Mom's 1980's camera and haven't stopped for the past almost 20 years. I earned a BFA in Photography + Design, studying in Massachusetts and Florence, Italy. After graduation I found my passion in photographing people and documenting the candid moments of life. I've been photographing weddings and portraits ever since, crazy to think it's been over 10 years now!

Wedding coverage, for me, is more than just making beautiful portraits and archival family photos. I want to capture the heart of your day. The little details that make up the big moments. Your friends wired with anticipation, quiet and loud family reunions, the excitement, exhaustion, silliness and tears. I live for making the photographs that you'll look back on in 20 years and still remember exactly what made you laugh or just how the sun felt on your face. Photos that you look at and see your true selves in. Yes, you're dressed up fancy and in a whirlwind of a day, but it's still the two of you at the center looking at each other the same way you did yesterday and will tomorrow.

I am also available for family photographs or any other documentation of people or relationships. My style is relaxed and natural. I aim to make everyone comfortable so that the camera disappears. Tell me your story, I'd love to get to know you.

Currently I live in Rhode Island and have roots in Colorado, Maine + Massachusetts. Please feel free to contact me if you’re having your wedding in New England, Colorado or anywhere in between!

More Than Photos

I really can’t say enough about Kendall but what I will say is working with her goes beyond the INCREDIBLE photographs you receive after your event concludes. My husband and I hired her to shoot our January wedding. We were a bit concerned about January and how we would even get photos in the middle of winter on New England. Queue Kendall. We talked multiple times before the wedding to review the timeline, the priorities, what I was hoping to captures, the layout of the venue to see where we could shoot, and SO much more. And on top of that I changed my mind two days before my wedding and had to have that same conversation with her again :) All of that to say. Most of the time, you don’t know what you don’t know when planning a wedding but Kendall does. You can look at her work and see the top tier results you’ll get when booking. But what you couldn’t possibly see is all the laughs, encouragement, and support you’ll get WITH Kendall when you book with her. So, I hope this review effectively conveys that. The short of it… book Kendall!

Incredible x1000

My husband wanted to post “Kendall is the best there is. Every element of the experience was simply superb. Do yourself a ginormous favor and just hire her. Please just do it.
We love Kendall! Kendall is THE BEST!” and I told him no.

Because while that’s all true - there’s so much more. From our first phone call we just felt so comfortable with Kendall, and throughout the experience she did everything possible to put us (and keep us!) at ease. As a couple, you spend more time on your wedding day with your photographer than anyone else and Kendall (+ her second shooter Matt) were the perfect people to spend the day with. Energy, creativity, vision, professionalism, flexibility, organization, charisma, foresight - Kendall has it all and then some. We wanted photos that captured the whole day (not just the classic portraits) and she over-delivered. She’s a true dream to work with, and hiring her would be the easiest decision you ever have to make.

The absolute best photographer

I truly can’t say enough how happy we are with hiring Kendall to shoot our wedding. She made us feel completely comfortable and at easy starting with our engagement shoot. She was always in touch, quickly responsive and thoughtful through a COVID postponement. She was climbing up and down rocks and thoughtfully selecting the best locations for our wedding day. She was an actual joy and amazing energy to have be around on such a big day. Our pictures turned out absolutely stunning and we get compliments on them from everyone!! We look forward to working with her again on any an all of life’s future big moments. Thank you Kendall!!

Kendall is the Best

When we saw her work we were so excited to have such a talented photographer at our wedding. We were not prepared for how incredible she was. First of all, the photographs were breathtaking. She captured so many wonderful moments from our friends and family. She knew exactly when to step in to help us make a perfect photo but also when to fade into the background so people wouldn't feel like they had to pose and she could really grab the emotion and celebration. And she even helped other people with their own photos! She was super responsive and organized, while also flexible in dealing with the many changes of the evening. The perfect blend of professional but friendly and approachable. We can't recommend her enough!

Highly recommended!!

I can’t believe it’s been 3 years and I never wrote a review. While looking at our photos I get all the feels again. Kendall is the best photographer in New England!!!! She is friendly, professional and amazing at what she does. She was so easy to work with and was one of the only venders we never had any stress about. I had all sorts of crazy requests to reenact pintrist photos and she went along with all of them as well as providing additional input on how and why they would or wouldn’t work. She gave us her 100% the day of our wedding and I can’t imagine it without her. Our photos came out flawless!! You will not regret hiring her and you’ll get so much attention and devotion on your day of. Thank you Kendall, for your commitment towards couples and making their day so magical.

A total gift

Kendall is a special soul. We hired her because of our interest in "candid photos" and her ability to capture a genuine moment. Boy was that the right choice!! Kendall spent time before the wedding getting to know us, our families, our hopes and combining it all in one special day and photos that'll last a lifetime. She was professional, whitty, compassionate, and instantly became part of the party! She was so kind, stepping into hard moments with heart; while also being a fly on the wall and allowing a moment to be intimate and photographed! I cannot say enough about how awesome she was, and our photos are PERFECT, and she was so fast! All of our pictures were in hand within three weeks! 💕

We can't stop looking at our photos!

We are so happy Kendall was our photographer for our wedding! She was so easy to communicate with, even being in different states. She answered emails quickly and chatted with us on the phone on several occasions. When we met her, I felt like I've known her for years. We wanted photos that took us back to our wedding day, and Kendall did just that. She captured not just a photo, but the emotion of the day as well. We would highly recommend Kendall!

Kendall was the best photographer and our photos came out perfect! She listened to what we wanted and didn't force us to take hundreds of posed shots like some photographers. She did a great job capturing the day. She was laid back and easy to work with. She was very organized and we had great communication during the months prior to the wedding. She was respectful of a groom who didn't love taking photos but she still got some great shots! Highly recommend!

Kendall was an absolute dream to work with, and we are thrilled with our pictures! From our first communication, we knew we wanted to work with Kendall. She put us completely at ease, and we felt that she really understood the type of wedding we wanted. She is organized, communicative, and by the time our wedding day came along, we felt like we had a friend shooting it because she's so warm and fun! She always had a back up plan in mind and was constantly looking for a creative shot. When Kendall says her time is unlimited, she really means it. She shot for more than 10 hours never losing steam. Her second shooter, Audrey, was equally as hardworking, friendly, and fun. We were really happy with hiring Kendall at the end of our wedding, and then we got our photos back, and we knew it was one of the best decisions we made! Our photos completely tell the story of our day- there are so many beautiful and funny moments captured that we never knew had happened. She has an incredible eye! I wholeheartedly recommend Kendall.
