KRP Photography is a Portland-based photography studio that specializes in headshots, editorials, and advertising & branding campaigns.
Well, hello there, new friend! My name is Kateshia Pendergrass, and I am a self-admitted photography junkie. I love absolutely everything that has to do with photography. Documentary on a famous photographer? Better add it to my list. A giant, glossy coffee table book loaded with stunning pictures? Oh, my heart! A local meet-up with fellow photogs? Count me in!
Whether I’m snapping pictures, editing photographs from a session or talkin’ it up with clients, old and new, my life absolutely revolves around my camera (and my family, too, of course).
It all started about 16 years ago, when I decided to spring for a really nice DSLR to capture the first days after my children’s births. I read the manual from front-to-back, watched countless YouTube tutorial and even signed up for a photography class. I was investing in a camera and capturing priceless memories - I wanted to be sure I knew what i was doing.
From that moment on, I was 100%, hands down hooked on photography. With my husband’s insistence and a healthy urging from family and friends, I dove right into the realm of professional photography. I’m not going to lie: I was nervous about dropping my corporate engineering job and focusing solely on taking pictures, but it was something I was so passionate about — and something I mulled over for several years —that I knew it was the right choice.
It’s been eight years since I “went pro” and my life has taken a major turn for the amazing. Day in and day out, I spend my hours meeting with incredible clients, heading to gorgeous on-location sessions and then editing the pictures we took. My favorite, though? The reactions of my clients when they get their photographs. Knowing that I helped so many businesses show the spirit of their work and professionals achieve the perfect professional headshot is a feeling that will never, ever get old.
Anyway, enough about me. I’m so glad that you’re here, checking out some of the work I’ve done over the years. I specialize in business headshots and branding and am absolutely willing to work with you to create the perfect images for you. Don’t hesitate to reach out with questions. Let’s do this!
Your Photog Friend,
Kateshia
