Just had a proposal in Yosemite. Kendal was a delight to work with. She helped us on poses, knew her way around the park and a lot of great beautiful places and did everything to make it a great experience from the first contact all the way to photo delivery. The photos were absolutely fantastic.

We recently had my son’s senior photos done and I could not be happier with the experience! She was so amazing, personable, and made the entire session feel comfortable and fun. The photos turned out absolutely beautiful and captured such a special moment perfectly. I’ve already shared them with family and friends and received so many compliments. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a photographer who truly cares about her clients and delivers incredible work!

Kendal was the best ever!!! We came from MN without ever having been to Yosemite or having done a professional photography session, like ever. She made it so easy, relaxed, comfortable and fun! She guided us through poses and everything felt so organic and chill. She followed our lead through quick family photos and honestly just nailed the whole ceremony. We were able to download our photos so quickly and seamlessly and love them so much. Thank you for capturing such a special moment for us!!
