Behind the Lens

Hi! I’m Kendall — the creative behind the camera at
Kendall Dean Media. I'm a family & lifestyle photographer based out of Charles Town, West Virginia.

After getting married and starting my own family, I found myself cherishing photos more than ever (and found SO much joy in taking them!). I have a passion for preserving memories — not just my own, but for others too.

Today, I’m a mom of two wonderful kids and two doodle pups. When I’m not behind the camera, you can usually find me diving into a good book, building lego sets, or spending time with my littles!

KIND WORDS

  • A family of four enjoying time together outdoors at sunset in a field, with the father lifting a young girl into the air, and the mother holding a baby while smiling at the father.

    "...we didn't have to stress about anything!"

    She gave us a few locations to choose from and already had poses prepared so we didn’t need to stress about anything. The session was fast, which is super helpful when trying to keep little ones happy!

    "...she captured all the moments."

    Kendall was superb! She captured all the moments and sent us the pictures the very next day. I especially loved the editing — it was wonderfully done. She made us feel very comfortable. I’d highly recommend Kendall!
