Kendell Photo

I have been working as a photographer since leaving College after completing the Professional Photographer degree program in the late 80s. I immediately went to work at Travis Air Force Base as the Base Photographer - becoming the manager within about a year. After the 3-year contract was up I diverted and went into my other specialty, computer science where I focused on Quality Assurance for the next 15 years.
After that stint in Bay Area High Tech, I returned to photography and moved to the Serria Mountains where I had a photo studio for a short time before closing the retail location in favor of a home-based studio. I have been shooting portraits, Real Estate, and Landscapes ever since,

This is followed up with creation of a personalised Client Portal where they can review samples of my work, review and sign the contract, review and pay the invoice, and fill out a customized questionnaire to get specifics about the session and their expectations/needs. It is also a portal to coordinate communication between myself and the client and any support contractors - like MUA or 2nd Photographers. The client portal is also where the finished digital proofs will be delivered and where any additional products can be ordered. There are several email exchanges which include welcome letter, expectation email, contract, invoice, announcement of arrival of proofs. etc.

I have a home studio in Prineville, Oregon and work remotely when I am in Northern California.
