The Heart Behind the Lens: Why I Rebranded Without Changing My Name

Posted by Ken Duncan Jr.

For years, KD Photography and Design has been my creative home. It’s where I’ve photographed weddings and graduations, nonprofit events and corporate launches, small business owners and full sports teams. And while the work has evolved, one thing has always stayed the same — the heart behind the lens.

That heart is me — Ken Duncan Jr. A storyteller, a communicator, a person who doesn’t believe in just “taking pictures.” I believe in being present. Fully.

And that’s where this new direction comes in.

Why “Powerfully Present”?

This isn’t a name change — KD Photography and Design is still who I am and how I operate. But after years of working with people across industries and communities, I realized I wasn’t just offering photography. I was offering presence.

• The kind of presence that makes clients feel comfortable in front of the camera.

• The kind that helps teams trust that their story is being told accurately.

• The kind that shows up for early mornings, long events, or emotional moments — with care and intention.

“Powerfully Present” isn’t just a tagline. It’s a commitment. It’s a mindset. It’s the why behind every shutter click.

What’s Changing — And What’s Not

You’ll notice a cleaner, more intentional website experience. My services are streamlined to focus on what I love most and do best:

• Corporate Event Coverage

• Branding & Headshots

• Sports Photography

• Community & Nonprofit Storytelling

I’ve updated my visual style, my messaging, and the way I talk about what I do — but the mission hasn’t changed. If anything, it’s gotten sharper.

KD Photography and Design is still here. Still rooted in excellence. Still grounded in faith, professionalism, and a love for storytelling.

What This Means for You

If we’ve worked together before, thank you — truly. This rebrand is as much about honoring where I’ve been as it is about embracing what’s next.

If you’re new here, welcome. Whether you’re launching a brand, building your team, planning an event, or leading your community, I’d love to be part of your story.

Let’s capture it — with clarity, with confidence, and with presence.

Your Vision. My Lens. Fully Present.– Ken Duncan Jr.
