#About

Kenzie and her family moved to Canmore in 2011 to get closer to the mountains, as Kenzie and her sister were skiing for the Banff Alpine Racers. She started bringing her mom's DSLR camera on ski trips when she was 15, but remembers telling her family that she was going to be a photographer when she was 10. Kenzie was introduced to climbing by a friend on her ski team when she was 16. It started with sessions at Elevation Place in Canmore, but quickly transitioned to the outdoors and started planning trips to the classic climbing destinations. For the past 4 years, Kenzie has been in Kelowna studying at UBCO in the BFA program specializing in photography, and climbing as much as possible at the Skaha Bluffs.

#LaterInLife

I am planning on going to Europe in September for at least 8 months to climb and take photos in new places. After that we'll see, but hopefully just keep on doing what I'm doing!
