Frequently Asked Questions

Q. How would you describe your photographic style?
A. I photograph in a Photojournalistic or Photodocumentary style. This means that I document the events and emotions of the day in real time and without any direction, interference, or posing. As a result, you get to spend more time with your guests enjoying the event rather than spending most of the day posing for photographs.

Q. Do you photograph any formal portraits?
A. A few. Most people still want some of these photographs. However, I try to keep these to a minimum (30 or less) so that you can quickly return to your guests and enjoying your wedding day/event. If you consider the formal group pictures and posed portraits as the most important aspect of your wedding day, I recommend finding a traditional style wedding photographer who specializes in formal, posed portraits.

Q. Can you just hold my date for me?
A. I'm sorry, but I cannot hold a date without a deposit and a signed contract.

Q. I'd like to talk to you about photographing my wedding, what's the best way to get in touch with you?
A. Email is preferred (kendra@athsndwords.com), but you can also contact me though Yahoo! IM, username athsndwords, and by phone (417) 326-2745.

Q. Do you have a studio I can visit?
A.Not for portraits at this time. I do have plans for a studio and gallery in the future. For now I do portraits on location and have a small studio set up in my home for Product shots. If you would like to meet with me there are many options...just e-mail me :).
