Hi, I’m Kennedy Buie!
Southern Illinois photographer capturing moments that matter.
I’m a Southern Illinois-based photographer and graphic designer who loves capturing life’s real moments. I got my start taking photos for my church, and over time my love for photography grew into a way to preserve memories for families, seniors, newborns, maternity sessions, and more.
When I’m not behind the camera, you’ll usually find me with my husband and our sweet baby, soaking up this new season of life, or hanging out with our best friends. I love watching movies, playing board games, shopping, and diving into new hobbies or crafts.
FAQ
What types of photography do you offer?
I specialize in lifestyle and story-driven photography, including family sessions, seniors, newborns, maternity, engagements, and events. I also photograph brands, capturing authentic moments that tell your story.
Where do you shoot?
I’m based in Southern Illinois and love shooting both outdoors and indoors. Locations can be anywhere meaningful to you—your home, a local park, or scenic spots around town.
What should we wear for our session?
I recommend clothing that feels like you—comfortable, timeless, and in colors that complement each other (for groups/families). Avoid busy patterns or logos that distract from your connection. I can also provide a style guide for more guidance.
Do you do travel or destination shoots?
Yes! I love exploring new places and can travel for lifestyle, engagement, or brand shoots. Travel arrangements and rates can be discussed when booking.
When will we get our photos?
I deliver edited images through an online gallery, usually within 2–3 weeks. You’ll be able to download them, share them, and order prints if you’d like!
Is there a limit to how many photos we receive?
Nope! I don’t do arbitrary limits like “10 photos per session.” My goal is to capture the story, moments, and details that matter most to you, so you’ll receive a full gallery of carefully edited images that truly represent your session. Every laugh, glance, and memory is included—no cutoffs, no compromises.
