This is a post almost a year in the making, and one that God has made apparent that needs to happen.
As some of you know, I’ve recently started a new journey with God and will be going on a mission to Jamaica for the whole month of June. As I’ve walked through this process with Him the last few months, He has begun to reawaken the dreams and heart for the nations He has planted in me since I was young. With this, have come many questions and deeper & bigger dreams for my future and the life I believe He is calling me to.
Realizing and dreaming some of these bigger and deeper dreams has forced me to sit down and think about the immediate future of Kaptures by Kendall. Over the last year I’ve also been silently navigating my relationship with photography and how that has grown and changed since I started K by K. I’m now realizing that the change I’ve felt in my relationship with photography over the last year has been God posturing & preparing my heart for the possibility of pausing and surrendering this business to Him.
I’ve said from the beginning that this business is His. I’ll keep going when He wants me to, and I’ll stop and surrender it when He asks me to. It’s never been mine. It’s always been His. After prayer and much thought, I’ve decided to put Kaptures by Kendall on pause. Transparently, I’m not sure where I’ll be next year. And by putting K by K on pause, it will allow me to give Him my full availability, ‘yes’, and attention to wherever He calls me. While this isn’t easy and a part of my heart is sad, I know that this is what He’s calling me to for the time being.
As of now, I will not be taking any new inquiries or sessions. I don’t know if this is a forever pause or just a temporary one…but we will see how God continues to lead. Going forward, I will probably still be sharing what my creative heart wants to share which will probably include some sessions I’ll be doing just for fun, apart from Kaptures by Kendall, for close friends and family.
God has used this business in more ways than I can imagine in the lives of so many people but also my own life and faith. I’m still in awe of all He has allowed it to become & how He is continuing to use it & all the lessons He’s taught me through it even as I take a step back & enter this World Race season. He has used this business to reveal Himself to me as faithful, Provider, Creator, & so much more. The glory and honor and praise will forever and always be to Him, & Him alone.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you thank you thank you for all of the love and support you have shown me & for all of the moments you have allowed me to kapture. It has been the deepest honor & privilege to serve you. To the photography community I’ve built on here & in person, thank you for your love, prayers, support, encouragement & open, welcoming arms. It’s been so beautiful to see so many photographers support each other rather than compete.
I am now FULLY FUNDED (PRAISE JESUS!!!) but am still in the process of purchasing all the gear I need for my trip. If you feel led to support me financially with the cost of my gear, I’ll leave my Venmo below! But more than that, please consider coming alongside me in prayer. The attacks from the enemy have been apparent & strong but I know our God is GREATER & STRONGER. Your prayers are appreciated more than you know! To those who have questions or would love to hear more about what God has been doing, my story, or this opportunity, please reach out…I’d love to connect! 🩵
BIG thank you to my sweet friend Harrington’s Photography for these stunning World Race pictures she took & edited for me 🥹
