"Will you accept this rose?" | Behind the scenes with Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay and Fiancé

Who watched this season of The Bachelorette? Now that the cat is out of the bag and the world knows that Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay has chosen her man, I am excited to announce my latest assignment - capturing the two of them with my lens! Shot for Bachelor Insider's web series "Will You Accept This Ride?" as a fan of the show, I was thankful for the opportunity to say yes to the question, "Will you accept this assignment?"

On her show, WYATR host Lisa Schwartz interviews current and past Bachelor Nation cast members, while they ride around in a luxurious limo. I was along for the adventure when Lisa had the chance to chat with Bachelorette Rachel and her chosen man, fiancé Bryan Abasolo. 

After riding around in the limo, we had a quick little engagement photo session while the couple beamed with happiness!

Transition to 2017

This year, the transition into the new year seems...different. As we reflect on the year, and years prior, how are we going to make sure that 2017 and beyond are the best years yet? I'm curious, goals and resolutions aside, what are the things you will build into your lifestyle, your habits, your heart, that will sustain throughout the year...throughout your lifetime?

Behind the Lens | Kendra's Photography Faves

“One of my favorite things about photography is getting to share some of the obscure things I observe in everyday life, with others. One of my favorite times for documenting that is when I am able to capture people in a way that shows them a side of themselves they may not normally realize exists. Showing someone their inner beauty shining through on the outside? It’s priceless...” - Kendra
