As photographers, it’s easy to fall into a routine, but sometimes that routine starts to feel misaligned with the direction we want to take. That was the case for Kendahl, a talented photographer who felt her old brand no longer matched her evolving style.
In this episode, Kendahl shares how she took the leap to rebrand as “Light My Love Photo + Film” with the help of Inkpot Creative, transforming her business, confidence, and ability to attract her ideal clients.
About Kendahl
Kendahl has been working professionally as a photographer for about two years, focusing on weddings, couples, and elopements. As her style evolved, she realized that her brand needed to grow with her. Kendahl wanted her work to have a more artistic and creative flair and felt that her original brand identity wasn’t fully capturing her vision or appealing to the kind of clients she hoped to attract.
What Kendahl Needed Help With
Before reaching out to Inkpot Creative, Kendahl struggled with a few key issues:
- Mismatched Branding: Kendahl noticed that her website no longer reflected the quality or direction of her current work, and it felt disconnected from her social media presence. This inconsistency made it difficult for her to feel confident about her brand.
- DIY Branding Challenges: Kendahl initially tried to create her own brand and website using a template, but this approach quickly became frustrating. The template didn’t allow her the flexibility she needed, and it became clear that her brand wasn’t growing alongside her evolving vision.
- Issues Showcasing Her Style: Kendahl felt that her old website wasn’t showcasing her professionalism or unique style. This lack of alignment with her work was impacting how she presented herself as a high-quality photographer.

By integrating blog posts with her new website, we helped Kendahl establish herself as an expert, giving her a platform to share her experiences, insights, and showcase her work in a way that resonated with her audience.
