Hey, I’m Kendra!

I’m a photographer based in San Jose, California, capturing weddings, couples, portraits, and real-life moments with heart. Whether you're celebrating a big milestone or simply want to freeze time in a chapter that means something to you—I’m here to help you hold onto it forever.

I spent over a decade in the creative industry—starting at Abercrombie & Fitch’s home office, where I styled and photographed visuals for global marketing campaigns and eCommerce. I later stepped into the world of athletic apparel, where I led photoshoots with Olympic athletes and documented the sport itself—capturing high-intensity moments, raw emotion, and the stories behind the athletes. These experiences sharpened my eye for storytelling, strengthened my attention to detail, and taught me how to bring out the best in people—whether they’re professional models or camera-shy couples.

Now, I bring all of that into my work with Stories by Kendra. My style is warm, candid, and rooted in real connection. I want to document your story as it unfolds—laughing with your partner, chasing your kids, or dancing barefoot at your wedding. Whether you already have a vision or want a little creative direction, I’m here to help make it happen.

Let’s create more than just photos—let’s tell your story in a way you’ll feel for years to come.
