Welcome to Mementos Photography!
Hi there!
I’m Kaylen Kroese, a passionate photographer who has been capturing memories since I was 12 years old. My journey into photography started in an unexpected way. Growing up, my mom was also a photographer, and I would often "borrow" her camera, sneaking off to take pictures of whatever caught my eye. I was hooked from the moment I first looked through the lens.
Determined to make photography my own, I started selling homemade fudge and other small items to raise money to buy my own camera. The real magic began when I started taking pictures for my school, where I had the chance to dive deeper into this art form that I truly love. God has always led me back to photography and provided each and every client. All glory is to Him for trusting me with you and your moments.
Fast forward to today, and I still feel the same excitement and joy after every shoot. Photography has become more than just a job for me—it's a passion that allows me to connect with people, create beautiful moments, and tell stories through images. I love working with my clients and making them feel at ease in front of the camera. It’s always my goal to make each session fun and comfortable. I’ve been told time and time again that my ability to guide people into poses and help them feel relaxed is what sets me apart.
I genuinely believe I have the best job in the world, and I’m grateful for every opportunity to capture life’s precious moments. I’m always up for a challenge, and everyone is welcome to book a session with me—whether it’s your first time in front of a camera or you’ve done this a thousand times. Let’s create something beautiful together!
