My photos were out if this woooorrrrld!! 🌎 I did a modeling session for a modeling agency and she posed me so well! I really wish I booked her earlier so I could have saved some money but now I know who to go to for portraits 😅😍

I was so happy with Kendra...she literally calmed me down on my wedding day by being so pleasant and sure of herself. Her eye for creativity was what got me, but she's also VERY reasonable compared to other photographers we looked at. She was very friendly to the LGBTQ+ community at our wedding, and rest assured she will be our photographer from now on. :D More...

It was an absolute pleasure working with Kendra from start to finish! She is caring, kind, understanding, and extremely flexible. Kendra helped me take an unforeseen-unfortunate situation, completely turn it around and the result was nothing short of amazing. I am forever grateful for her! I couldn’t be happier with all of my photos and so glad that I found Steelhead Photography. If you are on the fence with photographer options, look no further, I promise you are in good hands. 😊 More...

I was blessed to find the most fantastic photographer ever! She did AMAZING and captured every little detail. I could not have asked for more! I would recommend 1,000 times and more! She went above and beyond to make sure our day was perfect! I can't thank her enough! She's fun, down to earth and a blessing! More...

Working with Kendra was a beyond pleasurable experience and I have some pieces of art from it that will last a lifetime. She was very good at coaching me as I'm not a professional model. I was extremely impressed with her background choices and editing skills. I want to work with her more. She's a real talented professional, love her and Steelhead Photography! 5 stars More...

Barbi
It was my first ever professional photo shoot and she made me feel so comfortable working with her. It was easygoing and just fun. She was professional and a dream to work with! And I have some beautiful photos from her now. More...

Kendra was amazing. I am not comfortable getting my picture taken. She made me comfortable and was very good at giving me direction. Loved all my photos by her.

Kendra was absolutely great to work with. She is super enthusiastic about collaborating & knows the best areas to use as the backdrop for a shoot. Each time we have done a shoot together, they have been fun & the end product is always stellar. More...
What’s the secret to taking a great photograph?
Having a great relationship with your model/client! The reason my clients keep coming back is because the environment I create is relaxing, confident, and easy to work with. This makes for a beautiful photograph, and pleasant experience all around.
What questions might you ask a client when starting a new project?
Great question!
1. What feeling are you trying to invoke in your project?
2. Do you have all you need to make it happen, or do you need help coming up with anything? (Physical, or otherwise?)
3. Do you want any influence from me?
4. Do you need model coaching for this?
5. What experience do you have putting this sort of project together?
6. What is your budget?
7. What is the overall purpose of this project?
8. (Sometimes you just figure it out as you go!)
What do you love most about your job?
I absolutely love my client's reactions to their photos! It makes me elated to see everyone use photos from our sessions as their profile pictures, or their marketing materials.
I also love traveling for work, and having a different office every day! Being artistic is absolutely a bonus as well, and I'm grateful every day I get to do this!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I noticed how my entrepreneur friends were always talking about loving their jobs - be it sales, photography, hair and makeup, mechanics, etc.
I've always wished I could gift clients exactly what they wanted, when they wanted it, and with most big business there's a lot you need to maneuver around to do so, but not when you ARE the boss!
Why should our clients choose you?
The best part about choosing my photography business is that as the only one in the business I am able to charge less, but keep quality high. Compared to quite a few cross-country and local photographers, I feel I go an extra mile than most while still enjoying myself, which creates a faster turn-around time, better editing, reliable follow-ups, and a little extra each shoot. Not to mention, even when I needed to work with people who HATED their picture being taken, I get everyone to laugh and enjoy themselves!
You could say I work in the best personal therapy business!
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Photoshoots are in person, but on occasion I can provide editing to photos already taken.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
Masks are always worn by myself, and any assistant I may have. Having my 2nd dose and booster, and with my 6ft distancing as a photographer, I have yet to have a scare in this business. And YES, I am willing to photograph unvaccinated clients! I feel it is your own personal choice, and am willing to respect that if you are willing to respect mine :)
