Quincea&ntilde;eras are so much more than a party&mdash;they're a celebration of heritage, strength, and the beautiful transition from ni&ntilde;a to mujer.
For these two sisters, their&nbsp;duo pre-quincea&ntilde;era session&nbsp;was a quiet, meaningful moment before the big celebration later this year. Held in the heart of&nbsp;Southern Oregon, we carved out time to honor their bond, their personalities, and this once-in-a-lifetime chapter that will soon unfold into something unforgettable.
As a&nbsp;quincea&ntilde;era photographer rooted in both culture and storytelling, I believe every detail matters. These portraits aren&rsquo;t just about pretty dresses or posed smiles&mdash;they're about capturing identity, legacy, and love. The way these sisters hyped each other up, the way their mom looked at them with so much pride&mdash;it reminded me of why I do this.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
&nbsp;
Las quincea&ntilde;eras son mucho m&aacute;s que una fiesta: son una celebraci&oacute;n de la herencia, la fuerza y la hermosa transici&oacute;n de ni&ntilde;a a mujer.
Para estas dos hermanas, su&nbsp;sesi&oacute;n pre-quincea&ntilde;era en el sur de Oreg&oacute;n&nbsp;fue un momento &iacute;ntimo y lleno de significado antes de su gran d&iacute;a m&aacute;s adelante este a&ntilde;o. Nos tomamos el tiempo para capturar su conexi&oacute;n, su esencia y este cap&iacute;tulo irrepetible que pronto se convertir&aacute; en una celebraci&oacute;n inolvidable.
Como&nbsp;fot&oacute;grafa de quincea&ntilde;eras con ra&iacute;ces latinas y una pasi&oacute;n por contar historias reales, cada detalle tiene un prop&oacute;sito. Estas fotos no son solo para mostrar vestidos bonitos o sonrisas posadas; son para capturar la identidad, la herencia y el amor familiar.
La manera en que estas hermanas se animaban mutuamente, y la mirada llena de orgullo de su mam&aacute;, me record&oacute; por qu&eacute; hago este trabajo.

Coming from a Mexican background, I know how sacred this tradition is. It&rsquo;s the culmination of prayers, sacrifices, and dreams. And this pre-quince session was a way to slow down and honor all of that before the music starts and the lights dim at the main event.
We chose a location that reflected both softness and strength, letting them move freely, laugh together, and embrace the moment. And what came through in every image was exactly that: power, joy, and sisterhood.

Creciendo en una comunidad latina, s&eacute; lo sagrado que es este momento. Es el resultado de oraciones, sacrificios y sue&ntilde;os familiares. Y esta sesi&oacute;n fue la oportunidad perfecta para respirar, conectar, y honrar todo eso antes de que empiece la fiesta y se apaguen las luces.
Elegimos un lugar que reflejara tanto la suavidad como la fuerza, dejando que se movieran libremente, que rieran juntas y que simplemente vivieran el momento. Y en cada imagen, eso fue lo que brill&oacute;: poder, alegr&iacute;a y hermandad.

Sisterhood & Tradition: A Pre-Quinceañera Session in Southern Oregon

This LGBTQ+ couple traveled from Coachella Valley to the Oregon coast for a romantic photoshoot full of emotion and connection. Explore why this destination is perfect for documenting your love.
<hr data-end="494" data-start="491">
&nbsp;
Love, Loud and Unapologetic Some sessions stay with you long after the last photo is edited. This one? It felt like magic.
This LGBTQ+ couple traveled all the way from the&nbsp;Coachella Valley&nbsp;to the Southern Oregon coast&mdash;and every mile was worth it. Wrapped in each other&rsquo;s arms and surrounded by crashing waves, they showed up with nothing but love, and I had the honor of documenting it all.
Their session was full of movement, softness, and a quiet kind of joy that doesn&rsquo;t need to be explained&mdash;it just&nbsp;is.
&nbsp;
Why the Oregon Coast Is Worth the Trip There&rsquo;s a reason couples are choosing the Southern Oregon coast for their photo sessions. The dramatic cliffs, golden light, and open skies offer something you just can&rsquo;t get anywhere else.
Whether you're traveling from California like these two or live locally, the coast gives your session an energy that&rsquo;s equal parts wild and intimate&mdash;just like love itself.
&nbsp;
Every Kind of Love Deserves to Be Seen As a queer-inclusive photographer, I make space for love to exist as it is&mdash;unfiltered, joyful, honest. I don&rsquo;t believe in just taking pictures. I believe in capturing the heartbeat of your relationship.

A Queer Couple Session on the Oregon Coast: Wild Air, Soft Love, and Soulful Connection

An unforgettable engagement story in Brookings, Oregon
&nbsp;
Nestled in the southernmost corner of Oregon&rsquo;s rugged coastline lies the charming town of Brookings&mdash;a hidden gem where dramatic cliffs meet misty forests and the Pacific Ocean puts on a show of its own. It's a place where love stories come to life, and on this particular day, I had the honor of documenting one that took my breath away.
&nbsp;
What started as a simple couples session turned into something truly magical. The plan was to explore the coast and create some beautiful, natural portraits&mdash;but what she didn&rsquo;t know was that he had a surprise tucked away in his pocket the entire time.
&nbsp;
Their destination: Cape Ferrelo, one of the most scenic coastal viewpoints in Southern Oregon. As the waves crashed far below and the skies grew moodier by the minute, he dropped to one knee surrounded by scattered rose petals. And just like that, a quiet coastal walk became the moment they&rsquo;d remember for the rest of their lives.
&nbsp;
Through laughter, shock, and a few tears, she said yes. A rainbow even peeked through the clouds as if the coast itself was celebrating with them.
We spent the rest of the evening capturing their newly engaged joy&mdash;kisses in the rain, wind-whipped hair, and golden hour light pouring through thick clouds. It was moody, cinematic, emotional&hellip; and so incredibly them.

A Tale of Love and Engagement at Brookings, Oregon Coast

Medford &amp; Southern Oregon Photographer for Weddings, Portraits &amp; Legacy Moments
&nbsp;
<blockquote>
Hi, I&rsquo;m Kimberly Rendon&mdash;a Southern Oregon-based wedding and portrait photographer serving Medford, Ashland, Oregon, and beyond. Born in Mexico and raised in the U.S., I bring my roots, my culture, and my heart into every session.
While I&rsquo;m proudly based in Oregon, my passion for storytelling has taken me across state lines&mdash;and one day, across oceans. Dream bucket list? Capturing an elopement in the cliffs of Ireland, the wild landscapes of Iceland, or the crystal waters of the Caribbean.

<h2 data-end="954" data-start="920">My Approach to Photography</h2>
Through my lens, I&rsquo;ve had the honor of capturing love in all its forms&mdash;weddings, elopements, maternity, family portraits, senior sessions, boudoir, branding shoots, and my favorite:&nbsp;legacy sessions. My work is all about connection, emotion, and telling your story just as it unfolds.
&nbsp;
I specialize in documentary-style, true-to-tone photography&nbsp;with soft, natural posing and a focus on how the moment&nbsp;feels. From romantic love to self-love, generational love to platonic love&mdash;every kind of story deserves to be seen.

<h2 data-end="2041" data-start="2018">Why I Do This</h2>
Photography has always been more than pretty pictures for me&mdash;it&rsquo;s about presence. As a first-generation daughter of immigrants and being an immigrant myself, I know what it means to want to hold onto fleeting moments, to create keepsakes of love and celebration.
One of the moments that changed everything for me was during a family session&mdash;watching a grandmother cry as she held her grandchildren. That&rsquo;s when I realized:&nbsp;this work is legacy. These images outlive us, and that responsibility is one I hold with deep care.

Get to Know the Woman Behind the Camera: Kimberly Rendon

The engagement phase of a relationship is a magical time. It is one of those moments in life filled with pure joy, effortless connection, and an energy that is truly magnetic. It is a time that deserves to be captured in all its authenticity, in a way that reflects the unique vibe and love story of the couple involved. This is what I experienced in a recent engagement session I had the pleasure of shooting. The couple's joy was contagious, the connection between them effortless, and their energy? 100% magnetic.From the hearty belly laughs to the quiet in-between moments, the session was pure magic. This was not just because of the couple's infectious energy, but also due to the creative aspects we incorporated into the shoot. The use of unique props like balloons provided by @jb_eventdecor, and the picture-perfect setting of @slate.studios, all contributed to bringing the couple's vision to life.As a Southern Oregon Photographer specializing in engagement and wedding photography, I am always thrilled to capture these special moments. I believe that every couple has a unique love story, and my goal is to create photos that feel like them, that capture their essence. This is why I encourage couples to be themselves during the session, to let their personalities shine through. After all, the best photos are those that feel natural and candid.Now, as we look forward to the future, I am excited to announce that I am now booking for 2025 (only taking 4 more) and 2026 weddings. So, if you are in Southern Oregon and are looking for someone to capture your engagement photos or wedding day in a way that feels authentically you, feel free to reach out. You can DM me @k1mberlyrendon to book your session.Remember, capturing these moments is not just about having beautiful photos for your wedding invitation or social media. It's about having tangible memories of this special time in your life, memories that you can look back on years from now and still feel the joy, the love, and the magic. So, let this be your sign: capture it all—your way, your vibe, your love story.

Creating Memorable Engagement Sessions: Capturing Authentic Love and Joy

From the moment we reached out to Kimberly, we knew we were in the best hands. She took the time to understand our vision, helped us plan, and made us feel completely at ease. On our wedding day, she arrived early, found the best lighting, and captured every detail effortlessly. She blended into the moment while also guiding us when needed, making us feel comfortable in front of the camera.

When we received our gallery, we were blown away. She captured every emotion—the laughter, the happy tears, and all the little in-between moments that made our day special. Looking through our photos felt like reliving our wedding all over again. Kimberly is not just an incredible photographer but a true artist and storyteller. We can’t thank her enough

Working with Kimberly was an absolute dream. From our first consultation, she was warm, professional, and full of great advice. She took the time to learn about us as a couple and made sure our photos truly reflected our personalities. She even helped us choose a location that fit our aesthetic perfectly!

On the day of our wedding, she arrived early and immediately put us at ease. She gave just the right amount of direction while also capturing the most natural, candid moments. She has an incredible eye for composition, lighting, and storytelling. Our photos are stunning, and we are so grateful to have these beautiful memories to look back on.

Kimberly captured the most important moment of our lives flawlessly. With JB Event Decor transforming Jenn’s living room into a dreamy, unrecognizable space, everything was set for the perfect surprise proposal.

Kimberly helped plan every detail, stayed hidden to capture Jenn’s raw emotions, and seamlessly transitioned into an engagement session afterward. The photos are breathtaking, allowing us to relive that magical night over and over. If you want a photographer who truly cares and delivers stunning work, Kimberly is the one!
