Portraits by Kendra

Portraits by Kendra Portraits by Kendra is an award-winning Lifestyle & Branding Photographer serving Waterloo region. Photo sessions should always be fun and light-hearted!

Photography is my passion and I'm excited to do what I LOVE and at the same time capture memories that you will cherish for years. Whether you want some updated family photos or a new professional head shot, I will work with you to ensure the images reflect your personality. I make this my mission while we spend time together so real expressions are captured. At the end of the session, if we both

have smiles on our faces, I know I've done my job! I offer weekend sessions, summer evenings throughout the week (my favourite) and special event days! I specialize in natural light and the majority of my sessions take place outdoors. Please send me a note if you have any questions. I look forward to hearing from you!

A little sneak peek from last Saturday’s gorgeous outdoor wedding. ☀️🤍

It was the perfect summer day celebrating my second cousin Josh and his stunning bride, Stephanie. Their day was relaxed, joyful and so much fun to capture.

And can we talk about that floral dress? Absolutely stunning! 😍

Congratulations, you two! 🥂

Because this gloomy Monday could use a little summer magic. 💜✨

Sharing this dreamy engagement session from this summer — gorgeous light, lavender fields and these two making my job VERY easy.

And the best part? I get to photograph them all over again when they say “I do” next May! 🤍

If you know me, you know I love a good quote. I also love a little sparkle and a whole lot of positive energy… so this feels pretty fitting. ✨💗

A few epic words of wisdom from the one and only Dolly Parton.

Dolly was one of those rare celebrities who just seemed universally loved. She was talented, hilarious, kind, unapologetically herself — and completely unforgettable.

And maybe that’s the marketer in me talking, but isn’t that what the very best personal brands are all about?

People connect with the person behind the brand. The personality. The values. The way you make people feel.

Dolly understood that better than most. She didn’t just have an incredible career — she built a legacy by being unmistakably, wonderfully Dolly. ✨

Swipe through for a little Dolly wisdom… and make sure you get to the last one for a good laugh. 😂💗

Which Dolly quote is your favourite?

Okayyy, this is how we do professional headshots. 😍

Polished, confident and professional… but still YOU.

Give me beautiful light, a great location and a little variety, and we can create so much more than just one traditional headshot.

And can we talk about how stunning she looks?! 🔥

Midweek reminder: you don’t need to have it all figured out. ✨

Sometimes the next step is simply to show up, do the thing, and trust that you’re figuring it out as you go.

The perfectly polished plan? Overrated.

A little courage, a little momentum, and a really good coffee? Much more useful. 😉☕️

Happy Wednesday, friends. Keep going. 🤍

16 years ago, you made me a mom. 🥹💗

They tell you it goes fast, but I’m not sure you really understand just how fast until your baby girl turns 16.

Sixteen years ago, I went into labour on a wild, full-moon Friday the 13th. After a very long 24 hours, our first precious baby arrived on August 14th, 2010.

We didn’t know what we were having, and I had completely convinced myself it was a boy. So when the doctor announced, “It’s a girl!” I was in total disbelief — and absolutely over the moon. 💕

And now here we are… SIXTEEN.

Chloe, I am so incredibly proud of the young woman you’ve become. You’re hardworking, determined, smart, an amazing friend and role model to your brother, and truly the best daughter I could ever ask for.

I can’t wait to see where life takes you — although I’m still wrapping my head around the fact that very soon, it’ll be taking you behind the wheel of a car. 😂

Happy Sweet 16 to my beautiful baby girl. Yes, I’m still calling you that forever. 💗

And of course, we had to continue our yearly birthday photo tradition. 📷

I shared a little more about Chloe, these birthday portraits and why photographing these milestones means so much to me on the blog.
