We recently connected with Kendel Boone and have shared our conversation below.

Kendel, thanks for taking the time to share your stories with us today How did you learn to do what you do? Knowing what you know now, what could you have done to speed up your learning process? What skills do you think were most essential? What obstacles stood in the way of learning more?

I learned to be a photographer through trial and error. I picked up the camera and started by photographing my family. To speed up my process, I think I would have invested more in classes. Overtime I learned the essentials of photography such as rules of thirds. There is something to be learned and admired by learning the basics of any craft. It not only enhances your ability to deliver but also sets you apart. There has been two obstacles that have stood in my way: time and myself. With working full-time in Information Technology and as a photographer I struggle with finding time to do it all. I put myself as an obstacle as I need to find more balance and create inspiration even when I am not inspired to work on my craft. It is only then I will succeed as an artist that I want to be.

Great, appreciate you sharing that with us. Before we ask you to share more of your insights, can you take a moment to introduce yourself and how you got to where you are today to our readers

Allow me to introduce myself, I am Kendel the owner and photographer of Kendel Kaptures, LLC. The goal of my brand is to show beauty in every person that steps in front of my camera. A quote I created for my clients is “Show me your true self and I will show you a beautiful person.”

The services offered by my business is an investment by my clients to capture their seniors, family memories, event and headshot photography. I am most proud of being able to consistently deliver quality work to my clients. To see the joy upon their face when they can hang and post their memories.

We’d love to hear the story of how you built up your social media audience?

Social media presence can be tricky. I am in the progress of to continuing to build my presence. However, overtime I have learned you must post what engaged you in your craft. I found it stressful to keep up with trends and started to only post items that interest me, while also adapting by posting a video or two of my setup ad/or process.

Is there mission driving your creative journey?

I believe as a creative your goals change throughout your journey. My initial goal was to just to become a photographer and I was able to accomplish this goal. My next goal is to find a way to give back to deserving high school graduating seniors through photography.
