Hey, I'm Brenda Kittleson
I'm a wedding and family photographer based in Upstate NY - available worldwide!
If you’re looking for someone to document life’s most meaningful moments, you have found her!
I believe the most beautiful moments in life aren’t posed—they’re felt. The way a groom smiles through his tears as he sees his bride walking down the aisle, the pride in a father’s eyes as he gives away his daughter, the small hand of a newborn wrapped around their mom's finger... These moments are fleeting, but through photography, they become forever.
Don’t be surprised if you see me wiping away a tear at your wedding or grinning behind the camera during your family session. I don’t just take photos—I feel them. And I want you to feel them too, every time you look back at them.
My goal is to create a space where you can be yourself—free from stiff poses or forced smiles. It’s natural to feel a little nervous in front of a camera, but don’t worry—that’s where I come in. My job is to help you feel comfortable, relaxed, and completely in the moment so your genuine emotions shine through in every photo.
Are you ready to make some unforgettable memories?
Because the best photos aren’t just seen—they’re felt.
A bit about me...
I am from Brazil and I came to the US in 2021 on a special cultural exchange program.
During this experience, I met the love of my life, Jared. We were married in a beautiful ceremony in my hometown in Brazil, surrounded by our families and friends. We had our own engagement and wedding photos done, so I know first-hand how important those special photos can be!
My relationship with my family in Brazil is very important to me, and I am very close with my parents and sister, so while there, I thought it was important to have family photos taken to include my parents, my sister and her husband, and my husband and myself, so we now have those special pictures to look back on and enjoy. I feel so blessed! Going through all these experiences with different photographers has given me a unique perspective, and I hope will make me an even better photographer.
