  • Classic style
  • Starts at $2,500
  • Serves Happy, KY

Just like you, I have felt awkward in front of the camera. I’ve had photos taken of me that I didn’t like. When you go on a session with me, I will not only make you feel comfortable, but I will make sure you look good! I will give you prompts to keep you moving and laughing. I’m sorry but there are some angles, and poses that are not flattering for everyone. Like, please don’t take a photo of me from below! Hello double chin! What I’m saying is, I got you!

Awarded Best of Zola
PictureMeThisbyLacie was the most amazing photographer we could have dreamed of. Lacie and her husband made our day an absolute breeze! We even had sneak peek pictures before the nights festivities came to an end. Lacie and our videographer worked seamlessly together, we would recommend her over and over again, without hesitation.

I find happiness in my family, my church, warm summer light, capturing moments on film, sunrises and sunsets, and reminiscing on nostalgic moments. I have a passion for travel and am always happy to go somewhere new! I picked up my first camera in middle school (thanks, Grandpa) and never looked back.

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. 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.

Kendra is fantastic and well worth her pricing. She was so sweet, professional and love her work. I would recommend her 10x over.
